My wife and I have been boycotting Target which is a really a bummer because we were going to use target to boycott Amazon. We were doing really well about not buying from either until we needed clothing quickly. So we ended up doing Amazon because we could get it fast and knew what they had. I guess you have to just make a choice and nothing is going to be perfect.
Its so hard to avoid because most stores don't have any inventory. So you can go to a store to grab your clothes and they are all sold out so you just buy them online after wasting your time. This is especially true for basic items.

No ethical consumption under capitalism. Just do what you can.
Yes indeed.
I watched The Good Place. I learned important lessons
Dumples figured it out? Dumples? This is a real low point. Yeah, this one hurts.
It's not fast, but you could try Ebay if a Goodwill isn't stocked enough for you
Doesn't Elon Musk still benefit directly from Ebay?
Not sure, but this thread is speedrunning why there's no ethical consumption under capitalism.
Nope. No ownership in Ebay nor PayPal.
"Since then, Elon Musk has had no part in PayPal’s ownership. However, he does still hold a sizeable amount of stock in the company. He has sold off a large portion of it over the years, but as of 2021 he still owns over $10 billion of PayPal stock."

I've never heard of "ceoinfluencers.com", however all the other articles I've searched say he no longer has ANY stake in PayPal nor Ebay. https://www.fool.com/investing/how-to-invest/famous-investors/elon-musk-investments/ "he no longer has a stake in PayPal, although he owned shares before the company was acquired by eBay "
I've been having good luck with Mercari. It's an online flea market where individuals sell their stuff. It helps that I dress boring and know my size in a few specific brands/items.
I used to use eBay a lot when I was younger. I haven't used it in a while though. Not a bad idea
