    I get it.

    I know that nothing I do will actually affect his pocketbook, but I still hate giving him even a dime.

      If nothing else you are a testament that those asshats are not necessary. And that is valuable on its own regardless of its benefit to you.

      You can offer assistance to anyone else on how to buy without using Amazon because there are places and people who may not know how. (If the opportunity presents itself or you choose to create said opportunity)

      And you can feel better about your contribution to the economy more than you otherwise might.

      It’s not a thing that may go noticed, but it still might be all the difference in the world in the worst moment of your life. You could have been worse than you otherwise chose to be and from my perspective and yours, it’s a fact that you could have been less than you are now.

      Keep up the good work, perhaps your story will inspire someone who DOES change the world. Now or in a 100 years. Who can say?

      And I want to personally thank you for your choice in this matter. I appreciate you for it. Hugs
