Shutting Down Amazon
This is a discussion on Shutting Down Amazon within the General Prepper and Survival Talk forums, part of the Survivalist, Prepper, Bushcrafter, Forest Rangers category; I'm not buying anything on Amazon ever again. I didn't buy much there to begin with, but now they will have none of my business.

I am with ya. I have one last birthday order coming in. Once done, I am canceling... Netflix is already gone.
Soon, big tech will own the ISPs and shut you down that way too.
I just listened to Dan Bonginos show, and he has a miserable weekend with being shut down (part owner of Prler) via AWS (amazon) and many other companys leaving them high and dry, including their own lawyers..
One thing I learned about amazon is, they arent the cheapest on prices. They are very convenient. Search for an item, then go to the manufactures site and see if the deal is cheaper, and with fast shipping. You will be surprised. Not always, but due diligence is needed..
Last 3 things wifey ordered got lost in the mail. Wifey now works from home so somebody is here 24 hours a day. Yet post office still claims we accepted delivery. What's the point of throwing money away??
Plus I can see in the snow that nobody stopped at the house or mail box, for days.

Amazon Prime ships to us UPS or FedEx. Can't "get lost".
They must do great business. Two years ago they built a huge "fulfilment center" in Jacksonville that employs thousands of people. in 2020 they built another.
Above local average wage to start, vacation, sick days, health care, all begin on the first day of work.
Starting several years ago, we got toilet paper and paper towels, by the case, every month on what they call auto fill. No need to order once you tell them how much to ship, it just automatically comes.
The Great Toiloet Paper Shortage of 2020? Had many, many cases out in the hay shed.

Amazon is a huge employer here also.
I can tell you that amazon also ships USPS and, in my area at least, they are not the most reliable.
New life as a house husband, major shift in duties.

After reading this Obama said I am on it.
We have lost so many retailers here locally that it is virtually impossible to buy many items without going mail order. Sears, Pennys, Gander Mountain, Bed bath and beyond, and many others are all gone. I can’t buy Levi jeans or Carhartt locally at all. I buy as much as possible local, but it’s getting harder and harder.
I really find it scary how big corporations (very much includes the media), can actually direct where they want a nation to go.
If they can control what the public reads and see.....it's no different than the way China do their own propaganda towards their population!
