Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Independent bookstores and other types of businesses ARE the backbone of our society. We can live without Amazon. Really, we can. In fact, why should any of us contribute to Jeff Bezo’s retirement fund when he doesn’t contribute to the same for his employees ??? There are options.

Yes, and I am doing my best. We must all do our best to boycott Amazon. 8 months ago I tried cold turkey. I have failed 5 times since then — purchasing items for a faraway elderly friend (I am 85 myself; but no excuse.) I need to stay cold turkey with Amazon & Target! But I will continue to try!
