Ran across this video randomly, and It got me so angry I was literally seeing red:

TL;DR, Amazon hired an ex Federal prosecutor, who got his friends in the US Attorney office to charge a real estate developer who specializes in data center real estate development with federal crimes. They did everything they usually do, including asset forfeiture. Fighting these charges cost this family their cars, their house, their retirement savings.
I cancelled my Prime membership years ago, but have still bought things on Amazon. That stops right fucking now.
If you boycotted every time a corp committed a crime, you would quickly find yourself using no products or services at all.
You should cancel prime because it's not a good deal, and if you want chinese crap order it straight from china on aliexpress instead of giving Bezos a 150% markup.
I've seen the same thing. I've wondered how much of it is Amazon just preferring the Chinese garbage and how much it's the major brand companies want you to just use their own websites and avoid the "Amazon tax"
Same with Walmart+
