I deleted my Amazon account. Also Spotify and all other woke companies.
Microsoft and Intel are still remaining; I'm getting there.
Method: Go to Twatter and see if the companies you deal with posted BLM support. If they did, check their competitors.

Amazon was a big one for me, that's a lot of money I won't be spending there ever again and I'm certain they had me flagged as a valuable customer based on my regular ordering and never bothering them. Bullshit he's happy to lose customers. The economic impact of the entirety of the looting niggers that he's pandering to is overshadowed by what I spent on dogfood in a year, enjoy those high value customers, bozo.
Close those accounts guys.

Notice how many of the woke companies are the former heroes of the internet age.
We have alternatives ready now, a lot has happened over the last couple of years. Time is finally up for these dinosaurs.

Same here.
I would like to find conservative companies to replace them with, but that seems very hard to do.

I believe Petsmart delivers dog food, but I could be wrong.
My dogs have passed (RIP Fallon and finn) but I used to have Amazon deliver their food until I found Petsmart delivered. BUt they might not anymore, seems to me something happened and I had to go back to Amazon, but it was 3 years ago and cannot remember.

Lol, how much dog food are we talking??

Microsoft is surprisingly easy. I've been running a Linux OS - Ubuntu - for years. I find too as it's not full of bloatware, and constant anti virus requirements. I did some tests, and I found it runs quicker than windows Vista, consumes less RAM at once and my PC seems to even run cooler too.

Unfortunately Linux is on the road to being pozzed as well.

So he supports the destruction and looting of small business.
Every mom and pop needs to know they're at war with Amazon, they are not just a competitor.

I've long mulled over the statecraft implications of this, and have concluded that you're correct. I think that most people get this wrong. I've come to view the people in my industry that compete with me at my level, as more allies than rivals. ....but people who have business models (not businesses) that compete with mine, are essentially trying to put me out of business. Generally these are bad people.

Bezos is wealthy enough to pay their reparations... he should get right on that.
There is a meme (((they))) wouldn't like. Billionaires could easily pay the nigger gibs.

He doesn't make money on sales of products he makes money in the stock market. Tank his stock and watch his narrative change.
[–] greenfrog 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
He actually makes money from AWS computing services.
He pissed off trump and it cost him ten billion in contracts.

There's that. Yes I forgot about his data farms and snooping.

'"I was placing an order with your company when I discovered your statement in support for Black Lives Matter," the customer wrote. '
'"We believe Black lives matter. ', "The customer, whose first name is listed as Dave, said he was withdrawing an order after hearing about Bezos's support for the Black Lives Matter movement.", "Bezos posted the customer's email on Instagram over the weekend, redacting both the sender's last name and use of a racial slur."
'"I support this movement we see happening all around us, and my stance won't change," Bezos wrote in response. '
This has been an automated message.
