It was quite liberating.

It turns out I never really needed anything from Amazon.

My needs may be few. At one point in my life I was a crazy dumpster diving homeless person so simply having enough money to buy groceries still seems a luxury to me. I may not be the person to ask about "purity tests." I realize I can be quite judgmental, which is a serious flaw in my personality.

But I'll still say Bezos and Trump can go to hell. They are not making the world a better place.
