Not like the FTC did much to begin with
The fact that you were unaware of what they do has no bearing on the massive amount of work they actually accomplish.
They were in the middle of anti trust lawsuits where they were going to force google to sell off chrome.
Lina Khan had like 5 antitrust suits open against the biggest corporations in the US.
She was appointed by Biden and fired by Trump
This article is about a law they just made to make it as easy to cancel services as it is to sign up.
So yeah they’ve been doing a lot recently
Amazon fucking sucks for me now. Every fucking purchase (which is getting rare and rarer) I get asked to join prime.
There is no “don’t ask me again”. Every fucking time I have to select “Not now”.
I’ve come close to writing a plugin to help you skip these ads.
Why not avoid amazon completely or as much as possible?
I already am. At this point, if I’m buying something on Amazon, it’s because I cannot find a comparable product elsewhere.
I’m even paying more at other retailers. I haven’t run the numbers but before I cancelled prime 4 years ago how, I easily spent thousands. Last year, I think I spent a few hundred.
This year, my goal is less than 100.
Lots of small and even midsize sellers are basically forced into use Amazon, because if they don’t, then they don’t exist. So in some cases you literally cannot order the thing anywhere else.
I do, the only thing I buy off Amazon now is Zeolite mineral cat litter pellets. There’s simply no supplier in Canada, but I try sourcing from Ebay first.
It sucks this specific cat litter isn’t more popular. It’s crazy how superior to clay/paper/wood/crystal whatever. Both in annual costs and cleanliness.
I hear ya. Would albertazeolite.ca work?
Unfortunately not, the bonzai tree crush doesn’t allow for urine drainage. I tried already, doesn’t dry out. Needs to be in a pellet form.
Thanks for trying to help though!
I was thinking of their other product which they market as kitty litter, among other uses. https://albertazeolite.ca/products/clinoptilolite-zeolite

a few ublock rules would probably do the job. it’s possible to even run premade scriptlets to fix up a website
ticket closed as “by design”
Looks like buying the Washington Post paid off then
