Democratic New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday blasted Amazon Prime Day, calling it the “perfect day not to shop Amazon” and encouraging New Yorkers to shop locally.
“This is the day when Amazon tries to outgun every small business, every local retailer everywhere, and continue to dominate,” de Blasio said at his daily press briefing. “I’m saying something simple today. Today’s Prime Day, it’s a perfect day not to shop Amazon. It’s a perfect day to keep it local, to buy from your neighborhood stores. It’s a perfect day to shop your city, keep the money in our city, support our small businesses.”
