Sorry, Dean. Love the show but this is a little pricey for me.

I am grateful for all the loving memories I have of family and Thanksgivings past. I am also thankful for the love and support of my family now in these challenging times.

Thanksgiving-Cyber Monday, my wallet's ignoring Target, Home Depot, & Amazon. I'm tired of corporations enabling this administration ditching DEI, allowing ICE to terrorize our communities, & chase tax breaks. Join me! #WeAintBuyingIt 🚫 weaintbuyingit.com

Some of the signs we've made

Mary M@mmastenbrook· Oct 6

Support local bookshops on Oct 7 and 8 instead of Amazon.

Dear Reader,

You have more power than you think you do. Did you know that over the span of fifteen years, as Amazon grew, half of our local bookstores closed? Then, in 2020, we rallied behind them. Every year since, hundreds more bookstores have opened than closed.

Every day, our choices, however small they seem, shape the future. We are choosing a human future, where local bookshops thrive and foster literacy, culture, community, and understanding.

These next two days are Amazon’s Prime Days. Or, as we call them, our Anti-Prime days. It’s when we stick up for ourselves and our bookseller friends. Let’s flip the script on Amazon and support local bookstores on October 7 and 8. Tell your friends.

Seriously, tell your friends, we need them too.

And, thank you.

Andy Hunter, CEO & Founder, Bookshop.org

Remember the capitulation of companies under Hitler for their benefit.

The Nazi government developed a partnership with leading German business interests, who supported the goals of the regime and its war effort in exchange for advantageous contracts, subsidies, and the suppression of the trade union movement.[19] Cartels and monopolies were encouraged at the expense of small businesses, even though the Nazis had received considerable electoral support from small business owners.
