My head hurts

 And it seems any decision I make is going to hurt my finances and offend my morals. There appears no delivery service in this area that either has not given money to the orange one or isn't rolling back or ridding itself of DEI. Thanks for your comments. Do you research the companies or their parent companies prior to buying? And, as far as boycotts, you may be interested:

Truly, there is probably no major business that does not hedge their bets by contributing to both parties. I have read that many gave into the ban of DEI to avoid the litigious orange one. That they still continue the practice, they just look like they don't. You need to care for yourself. Going without essentials won't help the cause, don't be hard on yourself over this.

Sandra has a point- it does not good for you to suffer without essentials.

Sandra is correct - some companies are continuing with DEIA but pretending not, to stay under the radar. Anyway you need to do right for yourself, regardless.

A shame, but you did the research.

Thanks for the links. The second one seems to show there was no reduction in Amazon purchases (maybe even an increase) during the boycott. I wouldn't lose sleep over using Amazon since it's kind of critical for you to do so. We must eat to keep up energy to fight where it counts. And we must have kitty litter!
