The layoffs coincided with the closure of major diversity initiatives at Shopify, sources said, with major partners ghosted and Slack communities left abandoned
"We never really cared."
Who would have suspected Shopify of all places of being two-faced hypocritical bastards?
I guess they don't feel the need to launder their reputation anymore. They obviously never cared in the first place.
As an American I apologize that right wing crazy has become our number one export.
Is that why they shut down the Yeezy shop?
No, they said that they don't believe that Kanye would be able to fulfill the orders on the shirts.

It's really easy to not shop at any of the major big box stores owned by USA megacorps, physical or digital.

Ok, so stop buying online entirely then.
If you continue to say, "well, it's hard" then it'll never get easier or better and will remain at status quo.
I'll live with some discomfort if it helps deliver some pain. Change doesn't happen if no one forces change.
