📣 The less we buy from Amazon and the more we help to support more ethical businesses, the better. We need to stop buying directly from this retail giant whose CEO is a POS. I know Amazon is super convenient as they have everything under the sun, but it's not impossible to quit. Get rid of Amazon prime especially! You don't actually need it and having it only lines Bezos pockets even more.
Also here are the companies/businesses that are owned by Amazon and all I can say say is an appropriate what the honest fuck! Not only is it a LOT and this picture probably isn't all of them, but there are companies you would NEVER know were owned by this empire. IMDb and Goodreads especially shocked me. Jeff bezos could easily live comfortably just off Amazon alone, but no, being a multi-billionaire isn't enough. The way I see it, being rich isn't the problem. Being rich and incredibly greedy and morally corrupt is!
