Harsh? Certainly, but not unwarranted. The seamless embrace of Prime Day by Americans is frightening. I can still remember being a child and listening to my mother lament the birth and rise of QVC. Now it seems almost quaint compared to the circus of Amazon Prime Day.

We’ve been so moved by the community support in shopping local in Mill Valley… families coming in together, parents giving kids choice in gifts, spreading their budgets across a variety of stores in downtown, proudly exclaiming they’re only buying from small businesses. Also incredibly grateful to all of the heroes on the front lines in our communities around the world doing the work to care for our loved ones and keeping us protected, fed and connected. Emerging from this challenging year feeling radically optimistic that a reprioritization on the villages that provide creativity, culture and community will thrive.
