    I commend your efforts… But like, now you’re paying exon more for being part of a less streamlined delivery logistics pipeline.

    It’s just like… Unless we’re talking food, or basically becoming Amish, voting with your dollar makes almost 0 dent in evil. Capitalism is Bloodsport.

    And even with food… Like, other than buying eggs from your neighbor who keeps chickens and buying produce at a farmers market, we’re pretty much had by the balls as far as being forced to pay some evil piece of shit to exist.

      Yeah it’s definitely a “which planet destroying fascist enabling asshole” do I want to pay…

      Great choices we have. :/

      If voting with our dollar makes no dent, BDS campaigns wouldn’t be effective. It’s easy to feel that way from an individual level, but when it’s a coordinated effort it certainly has an effect and the more people who join in the larger the effect is felt by the capital owners

      I’m rural as well, and boy it’s hard. My internet options are 1) too slow to function 2) nazi satellites 3) data cap GSM. I’ve given up on option 2 in favour of 3. I’ve cut all streaming, and Amazon, but the only affordable groceries near me at Walmart. There aren’t many options. YAY capitalism
