The Moral High Ground To Ban Shopping on Amazon

The mindset of the person who claims to have the desire to ban Amazon because shopping on Amazon will somehow cause a slowdown for local retailers.

One of my military boot camp instructors (yes, way back in the day) used to have a near-daily mantra:

That huge gap between cowardice and conviction will only shrink when you actually DO what you say!

In other words, if you’re not practicing what you preach, but STILL making a vocal stand about something ‘every blue moon’ (especially mostly only when you see others emoting about some perceived injustice), you’re not being congruent
 or fearless enough to make a difference.

Like so many “woke” celebrities and other left-leaning activist type, without much thought, some souls just naturally feel the NEED to espouse their ‘inner do-goooder-ness’
 ’cause, well, guess what:

It just seems like the ‘socially-spiritual’ hip, acceptable thing to join in on.

I’m told it’s called Virtual Signaling.

But more on that in a few minutes. First, let me share an interesting exchange with you:

The [unnamed] online sales guru said, “Within 6 weeks we had a six figure per month revenue stream
 Just selling customized world maps; the scratch-off kind, on Amazon!”
