I don't drive. I walk or take a bus.
It seems like you are conflating shopping at Amazon with using Prime. I'm all for shopping at Amazon--it's both convenient and economical. Prime, however, is a luxury.
And let me say again that if people who have financial struggles want to use Prime, that's their business. My issue is with AMAZON trying to pretend that they're somehow doing folks a favor by cutting the Prime price by a paltry amount. If Amazon wants to do something for the financially strapped among us, let them offer a percent discount on certain merchandise or find some other way that isn't taking extra money from those people. They're acting in a very calculated and cynical way to line their own pockets while pretending they're being good guys.

I hope you have a better bus system than we do.
On the last part, now your luxury makes sense to me. And totally agreeing on the paltry part.
Now if they are using Prime to cut entertainment costs, then the $6 is a killer deal.
They do have some very cute kid shows.
Oh wait, you would need good internet for that and so another expense.
