This is a much better plan. Much better. We should be organizing longer pauses with different targets. We should have a different one every week or longer.
Really, that’s still weak. Why go back to Amazon at all after a week or two? Anything you can find on Amazon, you can purchase elsewhere.
I say, delete your goddamned Amazon account already. Don’t give them one more penny. You certainly don’t have to. They’re not the only retailer in town for fuck’s sake.
Again, it’s a step for most people. For me, it was easy to leave Amazon. I found a few things ultimately to work around the stuff I couldn’t find locally.
But my parents who live in the land of Walmart basically have it and Amazon. Now I know they can find elsewise, but the convenience is there. If I tried to talk them into completely dropping Amazon, that will be a massive fight. But hey, take a break from it for a week because of this bullshit, that’s an easier conversation.
After a week it’s easier to realize you go further. I’m the oddball who’s pretty good at just doing things cold turkey.
Amazon blackout, that’s March 7th through March 14th.

It’s the very least we can do.

This is the level we need to be at. Now. The minimum level.
