I don't understand what is expected here. Nobody can get masks or sanitizer. What little there is is getting redirected to hospitals. It's not even a money thing.

This person is advocating boycotting Amazon and going to local grocery stores instead. What the hell? How is that better?

You can't get blood from a stone.

This reminds me of a class of housing advocates who insist a higher minimum wage or rent control will solve housing problems. No, you still have 1 unit for 1.x people; the overriding issue is supply.

This is completely mistaken, sorry. Most west coast cities have many times more vacant units than homeless people. It's easy to source that and completely refutes the "supply" argument. But it's more profitable to build luxury units or keep them empty for airbnb than it is to build affordable housing.
