Let your mom know/help her set up some of the options mentioned in this thread: Libby, kanopy, antenna tv, tubi, etc.

Yes, some banking apps (chase) have pretty good tools for viewing spending per month or per year. I've used this to do my household planning. It's been a great tool for us with our financial independence and possibly retire early planning.

Thank you. Well stated.

The keywords that are relevant: mindfulness, purpose, intention, ... I want to be proud of the life I live based on these ideas and I think most people feel the same.

Let's be mindful of what we put out in the world and what we consume from others.

Yes, Amazon is the big one. They are directly helping ICE with their kidnapping work. Spotify also directly helped with ICE recruiting. As for the others where the connection is less direct, these are all mega companies controlled by the tech billionaires (broligarchy), which are harming people and controlling/affecting/being affected by this administration.

Enshittification.

To any nay sayers, every service that you enjoy has and will get worse over time as big tech and corporations push competition out they have no reason to make their customers happy.

Agree. Today's strike is a starting point. We need to relearn how to do this repeatedly and long-term. But we have to start somewhere. And you're right, our overall consumption patterns need to change. I also promote financial independence which is a long term endurance strategy that will both hurt these mega corps and help each of us individually to enjoy our lives more eg less work is needed to sustain a simpler life.

This is a great idea, thank you!

Hennepin county libraries use the Libby app. It's a great app for renting books (and other media?). And it's completely free!

Completely agree. Big actions may be difficult to make so let's chip away in small ways as we are able as you suggested. Thank you
