      Yeah but it’s trendy now and will be for two or maybe even three whole days.

        2 or 3 days won’t even register on a weekly report if people buy the products that they didn’t buy after the 3 days.

        Just quit using them altogether. It is inconvenient and it is more expensive but making a stand should have a price. Otherwise it would have been just a sensible decision.

          Hey, remember when millions of people didn’t buy anything for a single day in protest to show how much power they had and hurt the corporations in the wallets?

          Remember the next day when millions of people then bought the stuff they waited a day for.

            This is exactly it.

            Over the last year I have changed many habits, even the way I cook, to not support these giant corps. I have always been anti-consumerous, but I’ve made drastic changes over the last few years to really reduce my shopping habits. It can be done. It takes a little effort at first but then you get used to it.

          That’s exactly how I feel. I don’t use amazon and beyond a 6 month blip during covid never have. It’s incredibly inconvenient so a great way to reduce my consumption.
