Well, I just set up a sale of a bunch of my stocks (Google and Amazon). I'm so pissed, I don't even want to PROFIT off of those freaks anymore. Amazon Prime cancelled, Amazon credit card will go into disuse as I go back to my local bank card (and when I say local, I mean LOCAL, not some branch of a banking giant). So, let's go down a list of points of discussion and recommendations.

Shopping: I have grocery options other than WalMart, but they're still technically corporate stuff (Schnucks, Dollar General). Also, a local butcher. Non-grocery, Rural King seems to do well (bought my first gun from them too).

Phone: I'm seriously stumped on what to do here. Both options (Apple and Android/Google) are fucking awful. I know that Androids are a lot more open at least. What about providers though? AT&T is going to be a huge part of the problem, I can tell you that Cricket uses their towers, but not sure how much their services benefit AT&T.

Internet: Is there such thing as a safe search engine?
