Got that backwards. These sites killed local businesses and even local specialty chains. No amount of “consumer choice” is going to fix this because like 80% of the business is driven by other businesses.
Yelling at like your local mid size companies for buying things off amazon would do a lot more good than just yelling at random people on the digital street.
Hot day, in the middle of summer? Go to the mall. soak up the air conditioning, wander through the stores checking out the cool shit, grab lunch in the food court, maybe grab a movie after wards, hit up a few more stores, maybe grab a show if one was happening somewhere, then go home for dinner.
half of you wouldn’t have survived the pre-internet world, “oh no i have to shop locally??”

Specially in the mall.

Malls always depressed me tbh. Everything just felt off.
They are monuments to consumption, and there is no ethical consumption.
