Can we take into consideration that boycotts are often redirected spending that benefits responsible companies? Encouragement for their growth and hiring? That, hopefuly, bookshop.org will flourish? I'll spend a little more to shop local and at Trader Joe's and Costco (where the parking lot is always full now). A little less convenient, but big upside. I don't feel like a victim of corrupt corporate overlords. Worth it. Also, in 2020 Amazon was the only site I blocked to sell my indie published memoir. I suspected I'd shot myself in the foot. I look down today and whatdaya know. My foot is still there.

Seeking sunnier landscapes I left Woodstock NY for Tucson where I'll teach painting & finish a scifi novel. Images are my originals. Links at mernie.com
