I guess, but Amazon gets me stuff tomorrow or the next day, reliably, week in and week out. Yeah, I could find this stuff elsewhere on the internet. But not for Tuesday delivery. And not without opening another account. Also, right now, often only by paying a tariff-adjacent fee to cover the import costs of the vendors that didn't have the foresight to pre-stock imports like Amazon did.

People who want to write stuff like this really need to reckon with the fact that Amazon is and remains the superior product, and by a very significant degree.

They're not winning because they "hate democracy" or are "full-stop evil" or whatever. They're winning because they're the best.
