Therefore, if doing business away from Amazon takes a little longer then I am willing to accept that. .

Working for Amazon isn't forced labor, you don't HAVE to work there - am I totally missing something? Any employees working for Amazon are free to go work somewhere else if they would prefer or could earn extra income. How in the world is Amazon using government assistance to subsidize their payroll? How is Walmart doing this as well? The federal and state government already sets extremely strict compensation rules for US-based businesses, why are you blaming/boycotting these corporations for providing jobs? I'm totally lost on this one.
