[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, one thing that it’s accomplished is making a lot of people— even people that didn’t participate this time — a lot more intentional in our purchases. I’ve always supported small, local, and minority owned businesses, and I grew up with family members who remembered the success of “don’t shop where you can’t work” efforts, and local boycotts of stores like Peoples drugstore. It’s more of a marathon than a sprint. I’m not going to get my personal efforts to boycott some stores to zero — if only because Bezos owned stores have bought out the locally owned grocery stores in my neighborhood. I will cut way back though, and cut back on Amazon as well. The most difficult thing for me will be finding books, but I’ve been shifting to eBay whenever I can. Even Etsy has become a great option for lots of purchases. [/quote] thriftbooks isn't owned by Amazon (yet) https://www.thriftbooks.com/ [/quote]
