Jeff Bezos is a large shareholder in the Washington Post. I refuse to support his company, Amazon, any more.

I know it's a tiny and majorly futile symbolic gesture, but at this point it's all I've got to protest the fake news industry.

His bottom line has been hit hard by this one. They might even retract the story now.

Based upon your principled stand, I have decided not to become an Amazon Prime customer.

Cudos to you. My wife and I did the same thing a few moments ago after reading your post.

WalMart has a two-day shipping thing for purchases over a certain minimum. It seems clearly designed to try to compete with that shipping aspect of Amazon Prime.

I gave it a try this morning. Not because I intend to cancel Prime though. It and Amazon in general are beautiful manifestations of capitalism's benefits IMO

I'm sure Amazon will now go bankrupt due to your childish protest.

Don't most on the right call protesters wimps and snowflakes?

Which of those buzswords are you?
