    Cutting the Billionaires out of your Spending?

    We're trying to participate in life in ways that won't assist hoarders. 
    Amazon is dead to us. I try to use brick and mortar, authors websites, and other outlets to get around Amazon.
    I have gone dark on Meta. I used the Messenger app this morning to pass the word on Bruce but that was my first use in a while. We have to sort out our internet again hopefully without President Musk. Now that we're officially an oligarchy, how else do we reduce exposure?

    I’ll give you my Alexa when you take her from my cold, dead Wi-Fi router.

    Otherwise, I can go along with that; also, not buy cryptocurrency.

    This is a great idea, but perhaps already too late.
    Three days into part two of the reign of Pennywise, the depth and range of his intended disruption (destruction?) is terrifyingly clear.
    Every good and important thing is on the block.
    A nauseating FB post I got on Monday sums it up the astonishing feelings of half of Americans: Below a shining visage of DT was the caption: "Daddy's home."

    You sound sick. You might need a bleach injection.

    Just kidding, we’re going to boycott bleach.
