If you don't like the discussion, you can skip it :) I think it's better to vocalize the issue so we can look at it together.
I personally boycotted Amazon for several years around the 2020s before resorting to purchases I felt I needed and couldn't get elsewhere.
After being burned so many times, I've certainly reconsidered my wants and needs overall - if Amazon is the only way, do I need it at all?
If you don't think that's anything, I don't know what to tell ya.
I'm sorry but I feel that's a weak excuse.
Especially if you say you only want to quit now because you don't like their service.
I see this a lot with americans, they have little motivation or conviction.
The political situation is a good example.
They can barely get themselves to do a half-assed one day strike.
While in Europe we strike for days and burn the streets fif they even think about doing a fraction of the shit your regime does.
The No Kings BS, not buying from Wallmart for a day and other embarrassing and futile acts will not do anything.
You have a mentality problem.
And it's only going to get worse until you all grow a spine.
I wish you good luck (sorry if it sounds hard but it needs to be said)
