Totally agree on Prime. My kids gave me a membership 5 yrs ago as a birthday gift. I’ve switched most of my auto parts buys from Rockauto to Amazon with the shipping.
I don’t even have any “guilt” about the UPS delivery because they come to our neighbor’s house 5 days a week no matter what because they run a home biz.
Realize Amazon is on the FR sh!tlist but so are every other retail store and most internet ones.
You know, sometimes I just want to buy a product, or watch a movie, or read a book... and not have to worry about the political ramifications stemming from who I might or might not be supporting through my patronage.
Like you, I find Prime to be useful, convenient, and worth the cost. Maybe Amazonians are raging liberals. I don't know. But they at least have enough of the capitalist spirit to find my market segment.
Justice Scalia could run a store like Walmert, but if I have to tolerate a bunch of BS every time I walk in and I always leave in a bad mood, I'm not shopping there.
