Climb down off of your soapbox. Amazon is what it is because of early strategic decision making and long term shittiness. I’m talking about aggregation and exposure to semi-local partners.

I’m trying to use Ebay more often but the source is hard to verify.

I just wish there was an aggregator that isn’t Walmart or Amazon or Temu. I try really hard to spread my shopping around and actually buy local when I can. It just sucks Amazon is so easy.

I take full responsibility for myself. I try to shop independently when possible.

Yes. There are no whales in Texas.

Holy shit people. It’s a fucking joke. Look at the photo… It’s a Google ad algorithm.

I just don’t have the time or interest to comment. I sure as heck can be bothered to follow up on replies.

I was thinking I want just 4 or 5 kw of storage. Also wanting an electric car to plug in but that’s another coat I’m not ready to dive into. Ugh.

That would only make you feel good. It would not make real change.

I’m frustrated that I want to get a full off the grid solar setup but then it’ll cost 25K and won’t really offset itself until 10 years or more. I’ll feel good about being net zero in home energy usage but that is not a cost that the average person can afford.
