I understand the emotional satisfaction of boycotting Amazon, but it will have no practical effect. Amazon is too big to fail, just like Chrysler and the big banks. If you can get what you want easily where you live, you're probably not hurting yourself. I live in a rural area and Amazon is the only way for me to get most products without spending an entire day looking for and retrieving them from stores 4+ hours away.
And please, no assigning "patriotic duty" to something so prosaic as purchasing every day stuff. If you want to go there, go after Biden for not doing his patriotic duty to step down in time for Dems to have had a real chance at winning the election.
