Resist and Unsubscribe.

In Portland, Ore., Brittany Trahan started buying DVDs rather than paying for Netflix and Apple TV, while Lisa Shannon has been relying on public transit instead of taking an Uber. And in McDonough, Ga., Brian Seymour II has been embracing the cold to shop locally instead of buying through Amazon.

They're among a growing number of Americans participating in a boycott this month, targeting tech companies who, they believe, are not doing enough to stand up against President Trump's aggressive immigration crackdown.

I was kinda pissed when I bought a reasonably priced commodity on eBay and it was delivered in Amazon packaging by an Amazon truck, though.

I've noticed this too, if the same thing's slightly more on eBay it's probably someone ordering it for you on Amazon and pocketing the difference
