    The fact is, those of us outside of larger cities, we don’t have a lot of options much of the time. There is no small business hardware store here. Not anymore.

    Even those of us who live in areas with “lots of options” don’t have lots of options. I regularly (less so lately) waste days calling or driving to stores that should have what I seek, find nothing, then end up ordering from Amazon anyway.

      I don’t doubt that, and I just don’t see why it matters if my money goes to Lowes or goes to Amazon when, at the end of the day, both companies rake in cash while exploiting their workers and damaging the environment, so I’m pretty much fucked no matter what I do.
