Screw Bezos and co.

I am boycotting Amazon.
I will find that big list of anti Trump companies and do what I can to boycott.

We have cancelled our Prime membership as well. And Netflix. I'm sure they will go on just fine without my money, but I feel better not giving money to people that hate me. Also have gone to the theater to see a movie exactly twice in the last 6 years.

That would be a more valid criticism if amazon didn't spend practically every cent on reinvesting in themselves and placing themselves in a better position for the future.

  For me it was this and the way he's used the Washington Post since he bought it.

Lol net income is hardly the measure of a company.  In 2015 they had net income of $595 million yet $12 billion in cash provided by operations.  Think about that for a minute.

Man...some of you guys are either assholes, stupid, or both.  
Stand up for what you believe in.  The point isn't that he thinks they'll go out of business. The point is that he doesn't want to give business to an organization that goes against his values. Or maybe some of you don't have values any more?

Speak for yourself. I cancelled my Costco membership last year and haven't missed it one bit. Keep sending your money to the people who use it to enslave you. That's your choice.

Because we got a mess of vagina box car riders who have Walter mitty fantasies of SHTF because of their gun/ ammo stash. But if they used logic they'd realize that theyre never going to use those guns if they can't even give up starbucks and amazon, let alone their lives.

If I have to use ship-to-store, they can forget it.  I did that once for a TV.  Total cluster.  Took an hour just to pick it up.  30 minutes of that was trying to find an employee willing to staff the ship-to-store desk.  Never again.

Just my .02

80% of stuff on Amazon I can find cheaper elsewhere.

I rarely use them any more.

They are not even close to being as cheap as they use to be.

Don't forget to stop using the internet in the form of Amazon Web Services. I can't find any recent numbers but in 2012 it was estimated that 1% of total internet traffic in North America was sent or received by AWS and 1/3 of all users visit at least one site run by them every day.

They've grown massively since then and are more profitable than the retail part of Amazon. Just an FYI.
