Day 6: I finally cancelled my Amazon subscription.

Left them a polite reason..

Also, looking for suggestions for drive through chicken-wraps, because, if I lock that one down, I will never have a reason to go back to Chick-Fil-A.

The Resistance Continues.

AWS makes a ton of money. That said so many businesses use AWS, including the progressive non profit I work for. AWS hosts a lots of cloud based CRM systems. I would have to imagine the DNC uses them in one way or another.

My fellow citizens of this small city in a very, very red state don't deserve it. Fuck them. Especially the business owners, except for a few, don't deserve to earn a profit from me.

The flavor seems to have gone out of them, and I am also put off by the calories and cholesteral issues.

It all seems so greasy, tasteless, overly salty, and half the size it used to be.

Amazon Prime next month when our renewal comes due. After Bezo's butt kissing of Trump he can go f*ck himself.

There are some decent shows on Prime but plenty of other good stuff elsewhere. Don't need it. We'll find other sources for stuff we need.

At least, I received a message that said I can still use it for the next 20 days until the next renewal.

No ones running Amazon out of business. But lets make it hurt enough that Bezos sells the Post.
