This is a wonderful moment to suggest to management that they look into AWS alternatives "as we enter more unstable times" or whatever.
I've been told getting of AWS is harder than quitting heroin ... but I'm told people do that too and live.

@futurebird @jalefkowit have some AWS methadone suggestions lined up, I suppose.
Side note: I've boycotted Amazon for nearly 20 years now so it's crazy annoying when a company I've gone to the effort of seeking out to buy direct from, then uses AWS or Amazon logistics. Their grip is insane. -

@futurebird @jalefkowit the Prime ads in the UK at the moment are mindboggling. One of them is a mum and daughter playing with a singing cactus toy that runs out of batteries. It shows their house and they live in an old terrace, which means they live within walking distance of shops. But they use Prime to same-day batteries. For a toy cactus. WTF.
Tldr: I find the convenience argument incredibly grating. You'll be paying more and the driver who brings it will be getting screwed over too. -

It could also include tips such as "ask other people if they have the thing you need so you don't even need to buy it."
At school I often just ask for whatever supplies I need and they are just sitting around somewhere on their way to the trash and someone gives them to me for free.
