I have a post on this on on patriots. win. I worked for one of these evil companies, so I know exactly what is going on. This is all about stock performance and holiday retail results. The best thing we can do is everything in our power to make Amazon and Walmart stocks tank. Here are some ideas:
.
Give trips or restaurant gift cards for presents. Buy from small businesses. By less gifts.. Buy your gifts as early as possible if you absolutely have to. Buy expensive things and return them. Do a sick out if you are fulfillment center worker or truck driver. By pushing this mandate to January, they want their retailer Christmas cake, and to eat their vaccine mandate too.. Don't let them!
I stopped shopping at Amazon months ago. Also stopped buying anything Made in China (hard, but doable and very psychologically rewarding). Also stopped paying with debit / credit, using cash only at as many local establishments as possible.
It's been very eye opening in a lot of ways, the biggest two I can think of is 1) I'm saving a lot of money by being forced to deliberate on purchases and forego instant gratification (Dave Ramsey 101) 2) I'm getting to interact with local merchants, many of whom end up being based Patriots, and a couple of which have given me significant discounts for using cash.
Once you see the economics of THIS particular arm of the Enemy's assault, it's impossible to unsee. They've been planning the economic destruction from within since the 1990s (at least).
Made in USA, local merchants = winning big through a thousand small cuts.
