    Not bothered.

    I dont do commercial celebration days.

    I dont do predatory AI driven online monopolists.

    Amazon the company takes $0.45-$0.51 out of every dollar that its sellers earn, and requires them to offer their lowest price on Amazon.

    No one has a 45-51% margin, so every seller jacks up their prices on Amazon, but you don't notice it, because Amazon forces them to jack up prices everywhere else.

    I dont support that either

    I only buy online from independents
