My main book is on BN and bookshop. Unfortunately, Amazon is the only online platform that will sell small manuals and guides under 20 pages. Believe me , I researched thoroughly. That said, I totally understand if folks do not use. My theory was it’s there if needed and the only place that would sell a small niche manual, so while we should all boycott, it is a resource they do not make any money on, but is available if needed

Thank you for, as has been noted, being relentless. I agree with almost all of your ideas. I wish that I could run for office. My county commission desperately needs more liberal voices; right now there is one environmentalist on our five-person commission and we have a national treasure - one of the largest freshwater springs in the world - in our backyard. (Wakulla Springs State Park in Florida.) Unfortunately, I have fibromyalgia, a disease that responds very poorly to stress - in fact, it's how I got it. So I cannot run for office. But I can participate in the boycotts.

Also, I am curious about how not paying our taxes will help. Thanks to withholding, the government already has our money. Maybe you can shed some light on your thought processes behind this suggestion. Thanks.

thanks for asking. We would do it through the state. Maine has just threatened this. For those federal taxes they collect, they would simply withhold them. Other means may be paying based on the amount that the billionaires will potentially receive if it passes, a 12-18% rate. Lots of ways.

That State idea has promise. Would like to hear more about that.

Be careful about individual income tax actions, as there are very severe fines in place after so many people did this to stop the wars in Central America during Reagan.

Thanks for the hit of enthusiasm!

You got the RELENTLESS part right.

We both are RELENTLESS!💯

We might have to Agree to Disagree, Marie Newman, but I will agree with you that you are RELENTLESS as am I.

I don’t agree with a lot of your positions on political issues, but I agree that we should be free to engage in arguments with the hope of finding common ground, win-win solutions, and ideally discern truth.

You have been kind to me, and me, you.

All great stuff but why on earth would you give Amazon links to books? You can get those books a million other places and you’re literally writing about boycotting Amazon! Please use bookshop.org or Powell’s next time.
