Don't get your porn from Pornhub. Get it from Limewire.

I don't use Amazon or Walmart. The first step is to stop buying useless shite you don't need. You don't need a new iphone when yours is only a year or two old. I make less than some of my friends, yet they are always complaining about money while getting a package from amazon every other day. Find smaller retailers online with good ratings and stop being a consumerist. It's really not that hard.
Watch “Less is now” on Netflix

Instead of spending money on that huge TV, buy a bigger bad arse lawnmower that was built in the U.S.

Shop local. It does matter. Why does anybody need to buy toilet paper, paper towels or dawn from Amazon? C’mon man. If enough folks just STOP and realize you are selling your community to billionaires for pennies maybe we all can make a difference. Just STOP. Go to Rouse’s, Calandro’s, locally owned restaurants. The folks who OWN those businesses are in a position to give back. What has Jeff Bezos done for you?
I need a bumper sticker that says JUST STOP.

Buy shite from Walmart.com
A sky screaming “conservative” pleading for us to ship at Walmart....for moral reasons. I’ve seen it all.

Use Overstock.com and eBay. Until they sell out as well.

I said "lesser of two evils"
It's best to shop local.
But, if you must...... Walmart 50x before Amazon once.

My prime was just renewed in December. I cancelled all of my subscribe and save items and have only purchased one item from Amazon since because I had reward points and it cost me zero. I own a small business and have multiple packages delivered from Amazon on an almost daily basis. Not one package has been ordered or delivered since the great silence. frick em!

Already begun transitioning. We are canceling Amazon Prime. We did a lot of shopping on Amazon. But we will no longer support that entity.

Can I still ask Alexa stuff? Are the google devices better?
Don’t realize how much Amazon really controls until you think about stopping it.

don't buy crap from China
Pretty impossible now a days because it’s all around us.
Honestly, unless you are lazy or cheap (by predilection or necessity) it is pretty easy to avoid Chinese goods for the vast majority of your purchases. Subassemblies in electronics are the hardest to avoid and track but even then you can go a decent way to avoiding them.
Consumers can go a long way to limiting China's power but despite the claimed hatred of China very few people even try. My wife and I have been actively trying for over a decade and have done a decent job at it.

Exactly.
What has Bezos done for us? Right now you can bet that him and his sleaze-buckets are laughing at us Americans who have made him a gazillion-aire.
I think he contributed millions of $$ to the corrupt demoncrap party over the years.
You buy from amazon, you are feeding/supporting the enemy.
Some other ideas:
*Drop the mega-banks, go with a regional bank or a credit union.
*Same with credit cards, there are other alternatives out there.
*Dine out at the local restaurants, the big national chains are supporting the enemies.
*Buy a good used vehicle, don't buy a new vehicle.
*Drop the huge cell phone providers like AT&T, I am thinking about going to something like Patriot Mobile.
Right now, I am using a 'burner phone', I have been for years now. I get the same service.
*Drop DirectTV, they are owned by AT&T. I am looking into Orby.
*Drop youtube: Bitchute, Rumble, Odyssey are up and comers. Transfer all you vids to one of these sites.
*Get off fakebook, they are selling your info and you info is being stored on huge mega-servers. One day stuff you posted there may be used against you from the deep-state
Remember Edwards Snowden?
BTW, what ever happened to Myspace? Maybe it could be revived again?
You ever wonder why fakebook, twikker and others are 'free'?
*Internet browser and operating systems: Drop Chrome and others,go with Brave or Dissenter.
Don't go with the bloated MS micro-crap windows, go with something much better:Linux
*Stop using goo-goo(google), DuckDuckgo is a better option BUT unfortunately they are now selling YOUR information to goo-goo. None the less, go with DDG for now at least they are making some money from goo-goo.
Look into Startpage as a search engine
*Drop gmail, again, they are selling you information and EVERY e-mail you send is stored in a data base that may be used against you one day. Same applies for Yahoo
Go with Protonmail.
Just a few ideas.
The left has been using us too long, making billions of $$$ off of us patriotic, freedom loving Americans while spitting in our faces and laughing at us.
Bongino has it right, we need a 'conservative' economy.

Does anyone know of a good search or aggregator site that will find items for you not on Amazon?
The main issue with non-Amazon is shipping time. If I need a part in 48 hours it consistently arrives from Amazon. Usually later going direct to the vendor.

Deleted Prime and my entire account on Amazon. I broke my Kindle in two.
The e-reader monopoly is pretty unfortunate. There are not a lot of options there.
