Re: Calls To #Boycott Amazon
I use #Amazon for both #groceries as well as things i need in my apt. each month. I'm #disabled and live on a fixed income. I also receive #EBT / #SNAP benefits to eat.
Where i live in a big city with sales tax, the places that are local cost a lot more than what i can get food and products for online. Amazon takes EBT/SNAP and delivers to my door which is also helpful.

'Musk Could Become World’s First Trillionaire in New Tesla Pay Package'
'SNAP Recipients Go Without Food After Benefits Don’t Arrive'
And there is the moral rot of our capitalistic empire. A trillionaire shouldn’t exist, especially in a world where children are starving."

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Thank you for your reply. I did some internet search and found that many other snaps are also affected by this “design”, most notably Firefox. There they also had endless debates about $DOWNLOAD/firefox.tmp.snapcraft.io

Years ago elementary was approached by Canonical to become an official Ubuntu flavor. “All” we had to do was offer Snap out of the box. We debated it—being able to offload some additional infrastructure concerns was attractive—but we realized it helped Canonical more than it helped us, and we had chosen Flatpak for all of its benefits as covered here:
