It’s just much easier to stop using them. Remember: its founder and largest shareholder (I guess) was one of the billionaire groupies standing behind Trumd during his inauguration. Canadians should not be shopping on Amazon.
I had planned on just stopping using them, it was going to be simple I was just going to bite the bullet and not renew my plan. Someone else suggested you can cancel your plan and get a refund for your remaining time, however it was suggested by someone else that you call and you lay on the union busting card and you can get the full year refunded. I did that now in 3 to 5 days I will get $109 credited back to my card, the number you call is 1 877 586 3230.
largest shareholder (I guess)
Damn straight. Boycott walmart too!
How about Canadians stop using Amazon
Way ahead of you…
done
I’ve ordered one thing this week, first in 2 months, was unable to find it elsewhere. Cancelled prime while I was there.
replace with Never 51
Rule #1: companies have no ethics. Ever.
The only way Amazon will change is if it costs them more than it makes them.
The answer is to boycott them. Cancel your Prime subscription. Find other retailers, or do without. And do NOT go back as soon as they capitulate.
Companies need to understand that shitty behaviour will lose them customers for life.
The answer is to force proper rules upon these US hyperscalers. Fuck them all, if they want to do “business” outside of the impoverished united states, they have to obey the rules of proper countries
Economists are the least moral people from any field. My economist friend agrees. They see money as a number, not as a resource people need to survive.
An economist may agree with the statement: “A starving honebee requires more honey to recover than it will produce in its life. Therefore saving it is a waste.”
What the statement lacks, is context. Why is the bee starving to begin with? They eat nectar from flowers. So there aren’t enough around. Humans are good at mowing their lawns and placing tiles in their gardens instad of anything useful. Another part is, where is their honey? The bee’s life saving they use to survive winter? Who took it? The humans. And who has the audacity to define the life of a single bee by it’s ability to produce honey? The human.
Now swap worker bee with working class, human with the rich, and honey with money.
“Oh these people require medical aid? As if their labour is worth the investment in ther health!”
Remember, any person providing a service to society, is a valuable person. Be it store cleric or garbage man.
Does anyone need yet another reason to cancel their Amazon account?
They’ll even reimburse you in prorata your remaining subscription term. Literally no reason to wait before canceling right fucking now.
Argue enough and you can sometimes even get the full term back! I did! Really laid into them about their union busting and political donations.
Cool beans, I should do this.
Edit: I did this thank you for the suggestion, I was just going to let my account run out and not renew it. I have not used my account for about 2 months and just planned on not renewing bitting the bullet and not worrying about it but now I get $109 back!
They can keep that shit, I stopped using amazon. If I can’t get it from a local store, I can live without it.
Boycott Amazon altogether.
I feel very strongly against us being the 51st state – I’ll literally lay down my life before I let it happen – but I don’t think this should be illegal or banned. If this bothers you, vote with your wallet.
Have you considered joining the reserves? I’ve been a pacifist my entire life but am wondering about it now.
I’m ashamed to admit I didn’t even know we had reserves…
While I get where you are coming from it identify traitors. Like maga hats and confederate flags.
I’ve stopped using Amazon since November - also canceled my Prime. I realized how awful this company has made us become.
Remove it all. End your Amazon account already!
Fuck it it’s the same crap as Ali express now why not just order from there and cut out the greasy American middle man
I’m ok with banning Amazon. I’ve already gotten all I needed from them.
Y’all should probably ban Amazon
Yea exactly, maybe I’m naive but I hope we’ve chosen Lemmy to eschew the tech oligarchy, including Mr bezos at Amazon inc
Nah man, keep the stuff up, but honeypot the fuck out of it so the orders are sold by shell companies owned by CSIS and the RCMP
