Great article here. It's frustrating on the consumer side trying to boycott any kind of Amazon monopoly. To inject some hope into this, the pressure points for change still most likely be found in us as consumers understanding our connections to the workers and all of the logistics workers across the various industries necessary to bring us our stuff to our door uniting to force change. I live in the Inland Empire, which has fulfillment centers all over the place, and exciting worker mobilizations are happening, most recently a protest in San Bernardino around talks for Amazon taking over a small airport for fulfillment purposes. As always, change will move from the bottom up. There is also an interesting book that came out last year called Inland Shift that not only details workers struggles in logistics but also the ways they have been fighting back.

forgot to include in my article that Amazon Web services powers Netflix and many streaming services, many sites and much of the internet. so if you want to boycott Amazon, don't forget to stop using the internet and especially Netflix etc.
