I have one outstanding order that is already out for delivery. Once I get that, I’m closing my amazon account. I’m done. Buy nothing. Vote with your wallet. Edit: account is closed. get bent Bozos.
They’ll kiss whatever ring they need to kiss. The only moral these people have is “number go up”. Fuck this planet.
How do I leave AWS?
I use S3, EC2, SNS (or whatever they call it now), email, cloudfront
I want the same fast servers and CDN. I can probably pay someone else for email and sms services
Amazon has always been worse for me in terms of delovery times and service anyway. I only order shit there that I otherwise need to get from Aliexpress or whatever
Remember when Bezos pretended to be in opposition to Trump? That was nice while it lasted.
we advocate for policies designed to remove barriers to equity
Holy shit that’s the most corpo speak “we don’t believe in affirmative action” policy I’ve ever heard
Okie-dokie.
I guess I can delete “slow down if I see Jeff Bezos crossing the street” from my policies.
Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn’t sincere?
I left the Amazon ecosystem a couple of years ago because fuck Bezos and it wasn’t a big deal, really. Accumulating stuff is a mindset I could reason myself out of. I call it the power of No, thank you. I buy mostly second hand now and it’s so calming. Saves me money as well.That fuck bezos link is gold, thanks for sharing.
Don’t worry guys, all these corporations will bring back those pretty rainbow logos for Pride Month™ and all will be forgotten.
except this will be the start of the year they stop doing that, because now it becomes the “popular” side to not support it.
Oh, you know trump will issue an EP revoking Pride Month, and all the businesses will forget about it. It makes me sick.
Well I guess it’s a good thing I have begun my 4 years of austerity. I am not spending one dime more than I need to for necessities. I cancelled Amazon Prime a year ago and will be making every effort to buy whatever necessities I usually would get from there elsewhere.
I’m actually doing the same. I’m going to really consider, to the best of my ability, and with the best information available, the political background of the things I spend my money on. If I -need- a semi-frivolous thing, I’ll buy from a blue state or used on eBay. No hiring of the trades for me; if I can’t do it myself, I probably don’t need it that bad (I live in a red state). No Amazon, Facebook, and especially no Tesla (not that I was ever interested in the first place). I will try to support artists and other people who have a politically agreeable mission, however.
What’s the worst that can happen? I end up with a giant pile of money I would have blown? I’m fine with that.
These idiots have made a mistake, the pendulum always swings back and most Americans didn’t vote for Trump.
I hope they don’t expect to be welcomed back with open arms once it does.
We’re you asleep a couple months ago… They were welcomed back with open arms…
If only it were easy to opt out of things like AWS.
God I hate it so much
That’s a weird graph. Why does each label have 2 bars?
because saying 0-10% 11%-20% 21%-30% 31%-40% 41%-50% 51%-60% 61%-70% 71%-80% 81%-90% 91%-100% would create a label so fucking long.
It’s implied that each grouping is the top 10% and bottom 10% of each 20% range, to me anyway.
Especially with the tallest having an extra label stating “top 10%”
Probably lazy graphing. I think they’re trying to illustrate the difference between top 10 and 20 percent, then threw the others in as collective 20 percent bands. Pie chart might have been better.
to be more similar to the 10% 20% categories I would guess. the bottom 50% could probably be lumped together and it wouldn’t change much of anything.
Sounds like another great reason for Amazon workers to organize a labor union.
I don’t think these jerks quite understand they ain’t gonna shove black folks to the back of the bus again. Of course they wont start by trying that but its on their mind.
Prime? Cancelled.
Kindle unlimited? Cancelled.
Audible? Cancelled.
Twitch? Cancelled.Not one cent from my wallet will ever be in Bezos’ hands again, from here on out.
Unfortunately, you are still making money for companies that then pay AWS with the money you give them. Not saying you shouldn’t do what you’re doing, but it’s basically impossible to escape Amazon entirely and use the internet now.
Every little bit helps though.
I’m over a year ahead of you. Dumped prime when they announced ad tier is default for streaming.
The downside is waiting 2-3 extra days for them to ship something you order, if you do order through amazon. They make sure to not release any order whatsoever without prime for days to entice you to bribe them for standard service.
It may be harder for some, but don’t order anything from Amazon either. Shop locally, if that’s still at all possible.
Good on you. Voting with your wallet is exactly what you should do in a free society.
Gotta cancel all of your account if youre at all serious. They keep your financial info if you dont
And not just cancel accounts, but also stop going to their website. They get ad revenue from each visit and if you buy anything from them, you’re still giving them money.
Just give them an old card
And block them when their email system spams you to fix it
