Yeah, I was going to say the advice in the meme in kind of dumb. I can order the same product on Amazon or the website of the product, but on Amazon returns are super easy, shipping is overnight, and I am not dealing with some weird 3rd party payment system.

Now if the product is made locally at a small business, and is similarly priced, then absolutely, that's my preferred way to do things.

    Yes, I don't ever shop with Amazon, but they use their massive anti-competitive scale to be the most convenient option.

    I simply reject that convenience, because fuck Amazon. Fuck billionaires. Fuck executives. And fuck shills.

    I'll just pay $10 more and wait an extra week for my toaster. This is nothing compared to shopping in the 90s.
