Odds are he’s invested in most companies. I’m sure some portion of his wealth is in a manger fund that spreads it out across the market. If you want to avoid everything he touches, you basically have to leave the economy.
Yes. Leaving the economy is the point. This is the only way to stop feeding the beast at the individual level. Pay off any debts and don’t participate as much as possible. No person needs to shop at Amazon or anywhere else controled by private equity and billionaires. Support you local farmers and businesses. Buy used when possible.
You should try. Telling people to do things that are futile isn’t how you get them to do things though. Actionable direction is. People can boycott some things. They aren’t going to boycott everything. Telling them to just ensures they do nothing.

At one point he had one board representative, but now even that isn’t the case any more.
Close enough. Fuck Bezos and everything he touches.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.

Meh. I’ll keep my hybrid until the locals go belly up or get their shit together.

Ok, sure. You can’t exit the economy though, as much as one might want to.
No, you’re right. Let’s just give in and not bother trying since they already won.
