Anticapitalism, One AA Battery Pack At A Time
This is how revolution is built, brick by incremental brick. Here’s an example how the personal is political, from the comments at Jesus General
After reading this post I went to my profile at Amazon.com to see if my latest review (for The Professors had been edited, and it sure as shit was – right out of existence. That now makes two reviews of mine that Amazon.com has deleted. Fucking pricks. I would cease all business with them immediately if it were not for the fact that in December 2005 I paid $79 for Amazon Prime, their program that allows free two-day shipping on most all of their items.
To get back at them for this I am going to order the cheapest shit imaginable and have it all shipped two-day air, one item at a time. Here’s what I’m ordering for myself:
Maxell Alkaline AA – 4 pk, for $1.99. Not a bad price, plus I pay no sales tax and they ship it to me 2-day express for free, which costs them probably at least $6.00 or $7.00, even with a negotiated rate from UPS. I’m always buying batteries anyway because of all the battery-powered toys my son has, plus he loves flashlights and has like 15 of them. Believe me, almost every time I go to the store I’m buying batteries. But now I’ll get them through Amazon, always getting the cheapest ones (because they’re all the same anyway), one pack at a time.
Fuck it. I also just bought you a 4-pk of those same batteries, General. Shipped by UPS two-day air, mais oui. Who couldn’t use a few extra batteries anyway? Enjoy, sir. Fuck you, Amazon.
