My mom reports this happened when she went to her building’s package room to pick up an Amazon package on Friday:

Elderly neighbor lady in elevator: You’ve been shopping?

Mom: Not *today.* This is from before I found out about the blackout.

Neighbor: Whenever I shop at Amazon, I feel like a whore.

Mom: nods head thoughtfully

Since people in the US are reflecting on their purchase habits, I would like to offer this list of Grocery Co-ops. (Full disclosure, I have membership in two).

They range from very tiny to quite large. If you've never shopped there, they may feel weird at first (no major known brands, etc). Prices may be higher, but sometimes not by much. A large part of the money, though, stays in the community. The managers do a lot of work in sourcing ethically.

Today’s "economic blackout" in the U.S. began from an unlikely source. But it’s tapped into Americans’ anger.

@CNN reports: "Experts on consumer boycotts and corporate strategy are dubious that it will make a dent in the bottom lines of the massive companies it targets, let alone the vast U.S. economy."
