      This is a much better plan. Much better. We should be organizing longer pauses with different targets. We should have a different one every week or longer.

          Again, it’s a step for most people. For me, it was easy to leave Amazon. I found a few things ultimately to work around the stuff I couldn’t find locally.

          But my parents who live in the land of Walmart basically have it and Amazon. Now I know they can find elsewise, but the convenience is there. If I tried to talk them into completely dropping Amazon, that will be a massive fight. But hey, take a break from it for a week because of this bullshit, that’s an easier conversation.

          After a week it’s easier to realize you go further. I’m the oddball who’s pretty good at just doing things cold turkey.
