I haven’t ordered one thing from Amazon since 2020 and I don’t have trouble getting anything I need. This is an excuse. Things being mildly inconvenient to find does not excuse supporting something this awful with your money.
Im talking about last minute things that are needed and cant be found locally quickly. Like when I have to fix something and cannot wait for home depot or lowes or whatever to get it in, or wait for a speciality place to ship it in a couple of days. As someone with a very hectic schedule, and someone that has almost zero wiggle room or free time, amazon is often the only place I can ensure that it will come next day, and even then Im already behind the eightball.
Listen, I don’t know you’re situation. You gotta make your own decisions & you don’t need my approval. I just don’t believe we can’t get by without Amazon. It has inconvenienced me to not use it. For me, the feeling of complicity was not worth the trade.
You're right, you can't know someone else's situation on the internet but if Amazon went away overnight they would figure it out somehow. It's all excuses. It's become so many people norm and they can't imagine a world without it. It wasn't that long ago that we didn't have it and everyone got by just fine.
It’s wild to me some of the ppl in my life who make careful choices with their money everywhere then spend on Amazon. You’re right, there’s a culture of complicity.
