    A lot of people have figured this out but I don't think it's very
    common for people to fully analyze all these clues. More than 1/2 the country has rejected Democrats, which is great, but that's a baby step. Now we need them to reject Walmart, Amazon, Facebook, the "news."

    I don't shop at Walmart because I didn't marry my cousin.
    I avoid Amazon because they are Woke.
    I keep my Facebook "circle" very small and focused.

    So I really can't speak to whether or not people are starting to reject them.

    But we can see that the Media is collapsing due to lack of revenue. So people aren't trusting "the news" anymore.


    ... To get the point, rub a porcupine backwards.

    But I'm sure that if I "purchased" anything for their Swindle eBook
    reader or any of their media, I would have lost access to it.

    Sorry to interrupt the flow of political rants, but there are ways of
    backing up and de-DRMing Kindle books using an older version of Kindle
    for Windows, Calibre eBook reader and a couple of plugins.

    I backed up all of my Kindle books before they removed the ability to
    do so earlier this year and back up books I download incrementally.

    It's preferable to purchase ebooks from vendors who don't apply digital
    rights management or sell you a "license to use" a book.
