i use Amazon, but i don't have Prime.
and i use it sparingly, mostly for things i cannot source locally easily.

Responses:

I have Prime for the movies and TV. We use Amazon for large things that I'm not taking on the subway or where shipping would cost us a lot. - Krusty Jul 25, 07:25
Delivery drivers and distribution center employees aren’t locals? -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 25, 07:17 3

  - To be far we have Amazon drivers and a distribution center here that employs a lot of people. -- nm - sycor Jul 25, 07:33
  - Not only that but when you shop local that money tends to stay local and go back into the community. Most owners live near the area of their business - Krusty Jul 25, 07:22
