Correct.

and my mother was a ‘shut in’ and did just fine with email and the phone, plus even -gasp- writing actual letters. nobody “needs” FB, google or amazon.

Personally I simply do not care in the slightest about the politics, donations, statements, lifestyle, appearance or perceived reputation of any entity I do business with, musician I listen to or actor I might watch; the *only* criteria is ‘do I get value for my money’, period.

The opinions of others, who insist on ideological and/or moral alignment and/or purity of those they do business with are their business, and they are free to vote with their pocketbook, too. Freedom is great.

Years ago I had my eyes opened on this concept, by a book. It was called "The Rhinemann Exchange." It was about trading diamonds to the Nazis in exchange for blueprints for a flight control gyroscope.

It made me realize that simply looking at the quality of merchandise with no concern about what the seller intends to do with the money is very very foolish.

Google is Nazi. They are going to Nazi us to death if we allow them to do so. They cannot be left alone. We cannot ignore them and hope they go away any more than the Jews could ignore Hitler and hope he went away.
