Stop supporting this fucking company and burn down their warehouses.

    Personally I just wish this had legal consequences for real people, because ultimately someone makes those decisions.

    Avoiding a single company might be viable, but constantly keeping track of who (and their brands) should be avoided imo is not the solution, but a bandaid fix.

    Yeah I can be hard to track all of them. Tracking Amazon isn't though.

    The large majority of amazon profit comes from AWS. AWS accounts for around 3.5% of the entire internet. It’s also at least a third of all cloud computing.

    It might be nearly impossible to avoid giving amazon your dollar if you are online.

    Funny you can buy a whole bunch of styrofoam from amazon, gasoline from your local gas station is ingredient #2 for making sure that warehouse stays burning for a while
