I recently ordered myself a big beautiful landscape photo for the interior of my room. It should be really cool when I get it in the mail. By the way, I bought it here https://www.vershinin.biz/nature-landscape-photography-fine-art-gallery/ because I could not find any other normal sites where it could be done. And the choice was big, that for me was important.
All this mail-order stuff really has me wondering. I know someone who is an ardent liberal / progressive and she uses Amazon like her brother owns it. But I'm so frugal and essentially broke, I guess it's easy to tsk-tsk all this egregious packaging, and I would like to see the USPS as solvent as possible, so I guess on some level the activity is good.
But the stuff I hear going on at Amazon warehouses make it sound hellish and only a short term job to put up with. They actually want people to move on.
I am the most Progressive person I know, but I think Amazon is fantastic. It's not perfect, but what business, or American business is. I have had a long 20 year history with Amazon and I could not be happier.
Do I wish, and would I lobby for Amazon to increase their worker's pay and benefits ... yes. BUT, that should be a universal national thing, not some token just to get Amazon because a lot of nameless people who may be trolls or unhappy customers rip on Amazon.
I know well the criticisms of Amazon, and they are the same criticisms over most businesses - so solve the general problem and do not fuck up a great thing is my feeling.
