That is a challenge right there. It is almost impossible to entirely avoid companies that are against our political beliefs. If not the retailer, then the manufacturer, or suppliers, etc. Personally, I just try to choose the "lesser of the evils" in this regard.bbhack wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 12:52 pmWalmart is of course a major presence in online retail. I really want to avoid them online, but that funnels more money to Amazon, which is a bigger threat to the American way of life. Things are hard right now.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 12:07 pm
I think retail in general is a dying business. As people get more and more comfortable with online purchases, the main thing that retailers have going for them is timing of purchases. And with overnight shipping that means something you can't wait at least 24 hours to get.
The other advantage that is hard to replicate is the ability to get your hands on something before making a purchase decision. But there are very few things we buy where that is worth the extra cost that comes with B&M retailers.
My wife is a good test case on this. When I first met her 12 years ago, she had never bought anything online. Now she even buys her groceries online and has them delivered to the house. Her last holdout item is clothing.
I am, of course, talking about non-firearm related things I buy.
