It’s a reality of a consumer society that most companies make 80% of their profits during the holidays, most especially Christmas.

If you wanna stick it to accompany like Amazon, who, by the way is subject to a strike by Amazon workers, please consider not spending your money during the holiday holidays on a company like them. It’s the best way to kick him in the nuts.

It’s also good for the environment.

Win win win
