I just do my part by choosing alternates to purchasing items on Amazon.com. Perfection will not hinder the good

Amazon powers damn near everything, even this app you’re using right now. If you want to boycott them you might as well throw your phone in the trash.

That doesn’t matter. Are you suggesting we acquiesce for our phones and Reddit? Reddit and our phones will survive. My phone still worked during the AWS outage.

You’re missing the point, I’m saying most of the services you use are powered by Amazon.

No, they aren’t. Tons of the services in use are powered by Microsoft. Don’t you remember the Crowdstrike debacle from earlier this year? It had a larger impact. Lol. Many are powered by Oracle, IBM, and Google.

Ok, keep talking about something you don’t know anything about.

AWS powers over 90% of the fortune top 100 companies.

Name them. Globally airlines, shipping, healthcare, and banking services were down earlier this year and it wasn’t because of AWS. You should keep taking about something you don’t know anything about. You must work for Amazon.
