Yeah, but it's owned by Bezos, so fuck no.

[–] JohnEdwa@sopuli.xyz 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not.
Bezos is one of the many investors that provided funding for it at the start, but he has a minority stake in the company.

At one point he had one board representative, but now even that isn't the case any more.

Close enough. Fuck Bezos and everything he touches.

Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Odds are he's invested in most companies. I'm sure some portion of his wealth is in a manger fund that spreads it out across the market. If you want to avoid everything he touches, you basically have to leave the economy.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 1 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. Leaving the economy is the point. This is the only way to stop feeding the beast at the individual level. Pay off any debts and don't participate as much as possible. No person needs to shop at Amazon or anywhere else controled by private equity and billionaires. Support you local farmers and businesses. Buy used when possible.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Ok, sure. You can't exit the economy though, as much as one might want to.

[–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

No, you're right. Let's just give in and not bother trying since they already won.

I appreciate your enthusiasm but you're left with a really short list.

Meh. I'll keep my hybrid until the locals go belly up or get their shit together.
