After decades, today was the day our Prime Membership expired. We opted to not renew. We have been Amazon customers for gosh, close to when they first started up as a business. Spent tens of thousands over the years. No more. Just disgusted with Bezos. We of course dumped the Washington Post also. #AmazonPrime #USPol

Reminder: Along with shopping at Amazon and its subsidiaries today, watching Prime Video or using any of Amazon's other services is crossing the picket line. Do not cross the picket line!

The wife and I finished watching Cross Season 1 last night.

What an amazing show it is and something I highly recommend, regardless if you've read any of the Alex Cross books by James Patterson or not.

While there are a lot of similarities in the books and the show, this is not based on any of the books, as it is its own story and original content.

Dear Friends,

With Bezos' bullshittery, I've decided to stop my "Subscribe and Save" deliveries from Amazon, and I've cancelled Amazon Prime.

I'm not telling you to do the same, you do you.

However, I'm currently looking for alternatives. I've found one for dietary supplements, but I'm curious what other people use to replace Amazon, while not breaking the bank, or replacing one evil with another.

I realize this may be a tall order.

I need to write about something that’s painful to put out there for me, but I need to because I know there are other people also in my position. Also apologies for the thread. I’ve seen a huge amount of calls in the past day for people to cancel their #AmazonPrime in response to the #WaPo chickening out and not endorsing Kamala Harris. In principle, I do not disagree. At all. But for me, there’s one huge, and ultimately insurmountable, problem. #Amazon has become a necessity for me. (1/3)

Readers who’ve written to cancel their #WashingtonPost subscriptions have cited its decision not to endorse a presidential candidate, but they have also cited what they see as the paper’s general decline.

"The best thing those readers can do is cancel their $139 annual #AmazonPrime subscriptions, if they have them, and invest that money in the #journalism they say they want and need."
