True, but in this case I was specifically referring to Amazon, which you can pretty easily live without ordering on.

I have family that doesn’t have internet, never have and are doing fine. It’s quite possible. Just because you can’t handle it, doesn’t make it not possible.



You were making an argument about choice though when there's not really a choice to avoid binding arbitration clauses. It's not just an internet company thing most contracts include a BA clause because arbitration is generally favorable to businesses. Amazon is only removing it because someone figured out they could cost Amazon a lot of money in arbitration filing fees by taking essentially a whole class action suit into the arbitration system.
