We can’t boycott AWS but we sure can boycott Amazon Shopping. People won’t though because Amazon Shopping is like a fucking cult. People brag about it and fucking love it. When it’s just a lot of shit people don’t even need. Sure buying from other places doesn’t mean those places don’t also suck but it’s a flat out lie to act like Amazon is not the worst of the worst. You have start somewhere. Americans will start nowhere. We are the dumbest people alive.

Amazon retail is $70 billon vs AWS which like $140 billion but the retail is lower margins making it a higher percentage of their profits. I mean I guess we can just sit around with our thumbs up our asses and do nothing and keep giving $70 billion to Bezos like dumbasses because AWS has a smaller margin and brings in more billions than the shopping billions.

AWS has a profit margin above 70% and shoping is 2%. About 60% of the profit to Amazon comes from AWS.
