Jeff Bezos and his ilk are making money off of the backs of cheap Chinese labour. While people may protest the conditions of Chinese workers (and other nationalities) and crying foul regarding the anti-suicide nets strung from the factories, they rush to fill the malls and they ensure that Amazon keeps sending parcels out. I normally keep quiet about my world view, but ... well, jeez. I stopped the stress and cost of Christmas some 15 or more years ago, stopped buying presents, stopped getting stressed about the whole she-bang. My kids seem to still love me, I don't add 2 or 3 thousand dollars to my debt every December, and some Chinese and Indian children get to take it a little bit easier.
