If you are avoiding Amazon and Target, where are you buying what?

Bezos is an oligarch. He sat behind Trump when he was inaugurated.
Bezos has gutted the Washington Post, ending its editorial independence in favor of Trumpist flattery.


Give your fingers a little more work and find alternatives to Amazon and while you're at it boycott Whole Foods.

There are MANY places to buy every thing you want or need that are not Target or Amazon!!!

I read reviews on Amazon and go to the manufacturer's website and buy directly from there. Or I just google the product and buy it from another website.

If the millions of voters who voted for Harris or anyone else not Trump just voted with their dollars and walked away from Tesla and Amazon, we would make a dent in the power of Bezos and his cronies, and we'd exercise the only power we have.

Boycott the oligarchs!! If you care about democracy, that is.


Oh no, Bezos ended the Washington Post’s ability to…endorse the Democrat every time an election rolls around. This is an assault on democracy—let’s boycott his other company and move back to the 20th century to show him.

No it’s not


DP. Yes, it is. Everyone should cares about American wages and corporate greed and rural communities and reducing reliance on federal programs, should have stopped stop there decades ago. They are evil #1.


The evil oligarchs are living rent free in your mind. I bet cadet bonespur is in there too.


Go read up on the history of Walmart from the start. They purposely lowered prices at new stores in rural/less populated area until they ran all the local/smaller stores out of business. Then they raised prices. They have long refused to give people enough hours so that many employees are only PT/not eligible for benefits, despite the employees wanting to work more and wanting to get benefits.

Go ahead, read about the last 60 years of Walmart. If you have no issues with it, then shop there, or if it's the only thing nearby then shop there. But otherwise there are many smarter choices and have been for over half a century


I bet you're fun to party with

I have cut down on shopping quite a bit. For groceries, Costco, Rodman’s and maybe Safeway.

I know several people who work/worked for Walmart and know a lot now as we use their direct delivery and they are happy with the pay and benefits and hours. You use others as talking points but people rely on these jobs.

Oh no, I can’t stream sh**ty original content, or have my toddler’s snacks delivered overnight to my door. Whatever will I do?!? It’s like 1999 and I don’t know how to cope!

GFY, and take Bezos with you.

Obviously people rely on these jobs. And I wish Walmart (and others) treated their employees better overall (great that your friends are treated well, but that's not been the case for many stores over the years). Also, I choose target over Walmart simply because the stores are much more organized and cleaner. When I used to venture into Walmart, every one was a disaster, aisles littered with stuff, and staff was not very helpful. Target's around me have always been much nicer stores in general and on a $100 bill you might pay $105 at target vs Walmart, and that's a price I'm wiling to pay for the better service/cleanliness

People who are content and enjoy life aren't worrying about this nonsense. Education has nothing to do with it. Maybe take up a hobby or reducing screen time will probably help.

Okay, Daisy Buchanan. If you’re so carefree why are you on this thread arguing about how other people spend or don’t spend their own money?

It’s not nonsense, and it works and it’s why you’re trolling here. The bus boycotts are why people with dark skin don’t have to sit in the back of the bus. But you do you, and go live your life and shop wherever you’d like.

I made the transition from Walmart 25+ years ago. Very happy with life, but I'm capable of using my purchasing powers to spend on businesses that treat their employees better. Sorry you don't include being a nice person/empathy for others as part of your daily life.

You can be content and enjoy life and still strive to do what you can to correct the injustices of the world.

Not a Walmart shareholder by any choices. If my mutual funds hold it, well so be it. But I have never and would never purchase it directly.
And in your 401K you typically don't really have a choice of investments.
