Where do I begin? Reading this article gave me a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. The woke mob's war on liberalism intensifies with Amazon as the useful idiot handmaid.
A few years ago, a friend said she wanted to apply for a part time job at an Amazon warehouse because the hourly wage sounded so good. I had ordered almost everything from Amazon and was one of their best customers. So I promised my friend I'd do some online research for her.
I scoured the internet and was shocked to learn how badly the company treated its warehouse workers. Working at an amazon warehouse was the high tech version of 21st century slavery with people scrambling to meet unreasonable work quotas, dropping dead of heart attacks, and coworkers stepping around fresh corpses on the warehouse floor. The company didn't need whips -- the robots and productivity algorithms squeezed out as much work as possible and then tossed out every human who couldn't keep up.
I warned my friend not to apply, and I stopped buying stuff on Amazon cold turkey. Instead I ordered everything from ebay. But in a few weeks, I discovered that quite a few ebay sellers ordered all their stock from amazon and had each item sent directly to their ebay customers as "gifts." Amazon still got their money, and I paid a higher price. So, I went back to Amazon. Damned if I do, damned if I don't.
I'm old enough to remember the golden age of Hollywood in the late 60s and early 70s -- films like Rosemary's Baby, Chinatown, and the Godfather. I've tried to watch new movies. But they virtue signal so aggressively, I switch them off in disgust.
A few years ago, I was happy to find Philip K. Dick's science fiction thriller, The Man in the High Castle on Amazon Prime. I binge watched the first three seasons, and they were great. But when the fourth season came out, it was so loaded with CRT propaganda, I stopped watching after the first half hour. Amazon must haved fire all their old screenwriters and replace them with a squad of Kendi Klones?
The other day, I read about the new movie Karen. It was so bad, it sounded like a comic parody of pure CRT garbage. But it isn't a parody. What's next, the remake of Gone with the Wind -- with Kaitlyn Jenner as Mammy and Scarlett O'Hara played by Laverne Cox? I'm sure Amazon's writers room is hard at work on that intersectional nightmare.
Try shopping locally....good for you and good for your small business owner. I can find most things I "need" locally (and I'm pretty rural). What I can't I order from Amazon. My monthly bill has gone WAY down. I order all books (and have an actual library in my home) from Barnes and Noble. Become a member and shipping is free.

Try Walmart.com. Oftentimes you find the same items at a lower price. And it seems you can still get free shipping.
