article. Amazon is crushing main street. Loving's reply: I am totally and profoundly guilty of this, and I don't know what to do about it. I exist, for all my work, on less than $1000 per year, total outlay, 100%, everything. When I make a purchase I need what I need, to my specifications, at minimal cost, with minimal waste of time. I am not trying to convince you or me that shopping Amazon, for me, is the right, moral, good thing to do. In my defense, I buy zero luxuries, entertainment, amusements... per year. Zero. Hmmmm. I buy my fruits at a local farmers market, with great joy. A have never shopped in the Walmart, the closest store to where I live, because of their disgustingly low wages.
