We'll, that here is exactly the issue. I do a price comparison on multiple sites before buying something expensive and Amazon is in most cases the cheapest supplier. I suspect that it is due to those illegal price control mechanisms that force sellers to offer the cheapest price there.
And that is kind of a bad situation for everybody: You can post "Don't use Amazon", but it feels really stupid to pay more money for the same product from the same sellers on other platforms.
Amazon is an absolute scumbag company, they don't pay taxes and they shit all over their workers, and fight unions tooth and nail.
I have no idea how people can buy at Amazon, that stands for everything Trump and Musk stands for.
Just fucking stop using Amazon if you value democracy. Pay an extra dollar and buy somewhere else.
Amazon doesn’t care.
