      Yeah, “I’ll just Amazon it” is becoming a more common phrase. It’s cheap. The delivery is surprisingly fast.

      Downside is you’re making one of our wealthiest oligarchs even more powerful.

      And, of course, it could be stolen off your doorstep before you can even get to it.

        Ehh, I mean if you were gonna buy it from CVS/Walgreen’s, they aren’t exactly an altruistic alternative…

        I agree, best to avoid the wealthy oligarchs, but sometimes you need medicated allergy eye drops and Bob’s Corner Store doesn’t have them.

          Totally agree. I’m no saint. I’ve purchased from Amazon. But the last election showed us that Bezos is very much not our friend. I’ll be damned if I give that leech another Amazon Prime subscription.
