"We should boycott Amazon for firing all their workers in my province."
"Why bother, boycotts do nothing."
How is that the default response and not "FUCK THIS COMPANY"
To me, it's only because they use their services and the concept of inconveniencing themselves is absurd. "It didn't happen in MY province, and Prime delivery is next day! I'm sure they'll all find better jobs."
They work a job and are probably underpaid, so instead of thinking about someone else, especially when that other person makes more than they do, they view it as the other person just isn't "surviving" as hard as they are... maybe? There's tons of possibilities, but that's my anecdotal take on it.
