And folks, I am not asking for tips on how to survive without Amazon.
Yes, of course it is possible, if you are committed and have the time to shop around.
I am criticizing the STRATEGY here.
In large part because when boycott calls become background noise, people stop listening.

Also. If you don't have a plan for a boycott to appreciably impact the retailer (as seems to be the case here), just don't do it.

Not sure the point of deporting hard working people who fled awful conditions in their own countries and are caring for the sick, elderly, and paralyzed, not only harming our own economy, but vulnerable people who rely on this assistance.
