    Yes but if everyone stops buying from Amazon, those people lose their jobs.

    This isn’t “trickle down”. This is “paychecks”. And yes it does work. That’s why those people work for Amazon.

      If everyone stops buying from Amazon, those people could get jobs at any of these companies, where people buy from instead.

      Amazon has replaced a lot of jobs. When amazon goes away, it in turn will get replaced by something else.
