Activism/Protest Update: Cancelling Prime

Well, I've done it. Cut the cord and cancelled Amazon Prime. I can't say for certain what regrets I will have, and how unsettling it is to rely on local and ethical sources for things large and small that running my household requires, but I've done my research and am making a conscientious objection at last. I was unfailingly polite but firm, and the nice guy in the chat (you must request a refund in the chat) gave me 50% of my annual membership back. I've no confidence it will make any real difference in the world, but to my sense of honor. And my honor is worth it.

It will make a difference with you and that's all the "difference in the world" you need, right?
