Show your support, don't buy shit from Amazon. Go to a local store if you can find one.
Walmart is a good alternative, I guess. But they are also an evil corporation.
Fuck that, Walmart is probably worse!
IDK man, the Walton's are starting to look like saints comparable to most of the other billionaires.
Walmart shuts down stores and departments instead of allowing a union. Fuck Walmart. They aren't saints. They just did all their shit in the past and haven't been in the news for 20 years because we are just used to it. Maybe the Walton family has done good things with their money in the recent past, I honestly don't know. But still I would not support walmart
I wouldn't either. I hate even stepping foot in them...it's anxiety inducing.
But Bezos is making the Walton's look like good people. Sort of like how Trump made Bush43 look like a Mensa genius in retrospect.
Have you ever met a member of MENSA? It's a grift to make dumb people feel smart.
Haha very valid point.
That's seeing the lowest of bars

Buy shit (if you're in an area affected by the strike), cancel the order when the strike ends.
How could that possibly help?
How does a company thinking it has a rush of orders it can’t fulfill due to a strike affect how they view their bargaining position in that strike? I’d say it makes them more willing to settle.
It’s not like they’d be thinking “we have 20% more orders than projected. Thank god for this strike.”
Why cancel the order when they capitulate? Because. Fuck ‘em.
