Valid. In this economy I cant afford most of this bs virtue signaling.
I get it they are bad... So is every other fucking chain and last I checked the mom and pops died out already.
I mean they killed the mom and pops shop by piggy backing on people who didn't virtue signal enough. If it's cheap and Chinese, its bad, but if it's on Amazon, it's good.
It was easy to undercut independents, when you pave a way for a system optimized for monopolies. It's not like it wasn't obvious, and Amazon isn't that old for it to be boomers fault.
So you reap what you sow?
Keep complaining about people virtue signalling valid concerns and soon Amazon will decide what/when you eat, and you'll be happy with it.
@Master @jumping_redditor Mom n Pops, no they really haven’t. We have small businesses everywhere. Also, many alternatives. I use JCPenney, Costco, Kroger and Aldi (pick up). I have never needed Amazon. I left FB and all things Meta in 2016. Twitter the day Musk took over. IMHO, we have choices.
Yeah. You DO have a choice. And this is exactly what they fear. Their empire is a house or card. We just need to make the propagandized bozos above to understand that they dig their own grave.
