    Convenience and cost, means amazon isn’t going anywhere. You can spend more time, and more money avoiding them if you want, but don’t be upset others aren’t willing.

      Fine, then I’ll be upset at people continuing to support a company that systematically abuses its workforce.

            But of course, and I’m not saying that. But I do think it’s perhaps a little bold to actively criticize a stranger for having the audacity to do business with Amazon as if they aren’t, for instance, using AWS-backed websites literally every day.

            I’m not saying Amazon is good, but rather that hypocritically trying to call out people for failing purity tests that you yourself almost certainly don’t pass isn’t a particularly productive or positive use of one’s time.

      That’s exactly why climate change is going to kill us all.

      Edit : you can downvote me, but if you systematically go for the easiest and cheapest solution, and can do otherwise (and generally, you do), you’re a big part of the problem.

        On Kbin, we see the # of upvotes and # of downvote separately, is that not the case here?

        Also, the goal should maybe be turning the systematically easiest and cheapest solution into one that’s also green. Definitely some steps to get there though
