I think you're understating what Amazon adds to the online shopping experience. It's not simply a matter of lazily saving a few minutes. But as long as you're not arguing against online shopping altogether, which your original comment might suggest, I'm inclined to agree that not feeding the monopoly is probably the right thing to do. Of course, similar things could be said for any number of large corporations (Verizon, Comcast, Home Depot to name just a few). Is it people blatantly not caring or something more complex and insidious?

Amazon is a tough one. Definitely a ton of problems but online shopping in general is very useful for a lot of people. Demanding proper treatment of workers and supporting smaller businesses instead of feeding the monopoly is important and a good start. Giving up Amazon/online shopping would mean having much less access to products for a lot of people. Online shopping displaced catalog shopping, which has been around since Sears catalog days, and is unlikely to go away.

Racists were attracted to lab leak theories because it supported their fucked up world views.

For some reason, I'm continually surprised how blatantly these Republicans abandon any pretence of intellectual honesty, fidelity to American values, and not being an obvious hyper partisan piece of shit. I know I should be used to it by now but it still angers me every time.
