This is a fine plan if you're not the one suffering. Democracy takes time, and you can (and should) use leverage against corporations at the same time when necessary.

This is the point at which the thread swerves into unsubstantiveness and therefore flamewar. I realize it's not always predictable, but please take threads in the opposite direction.

Democracy takes time but I don't see any other way, as someone who are not the one suffering, I'm not going to boycott amazon. I like fast shipping and cheap item.

Yes, that is why you are being criticized: for not caring about other people.

Yes, can you see that is ineffective ? you want to make me care, you have to force me to care.

So we agree that regulation/legislation is the best path forward.

At this point your comments have the effect of trolling others, whether you meant to or not. Could you please stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News? We've had to ask you this before.

'matzl has a history of coming into these threads to tell everyone how much he just doesn't care. I like the cut of your jib but I've learned that it's probably better to down the troll and move on.

I'm criticizing the approach. I too would like to see changes.

Turning this into a personal attack is not ok. Would you please review the site guidelines and follow them when posting to HN? They include:

"Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

"Be kind."
