Amazon currently has its sights set on whole foods.

I believe that this was not a 'good faith investment'. Instead, amazon simply wants to destroy the store. Why?

first of all...this: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/john-macke ... ge-grocer/

"That approach has infused his business — no matter how unorthodox. He lets his workers vote on whom to hire on their team, share in the profits and know what everyone else is being paid. They spend little on advertising, but give workers at each store $125,000 to spend on ideas to bring in new customers. In the Austin store, someone suggested an ice skating rink on the roof."

i dont think mackey is well educated on political ideology, but his intuition has apparently led him to a fascist business model (he himself would of course fervently deny it). And the whole employee voting on who they work with has of course resulted in the fact that almost all employees are white men.

let us also note that this clearly is diametrically opposed to amazon, which is known to treat its employees like ****.


it is also fairly clear from the way he dodges certain questions that his politics are probably not correct: 

"I like to keep my political beliefs, beliefs about controversial issues, to myself. I don’t really want to talk about racism. I don’t want to talk about climate change. I don’t want to talk about riots or fires. I want to talk about conscious leadership. I’m happy to talk about what Whole Foods is doing in the world, but my personal beliefs are my own private beliefs." https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/ ... capitalism

I don't know about Mackey,  but Jeff Bozo..I mean Besos, is a unscrupulous prick.

Mackey is a fairly genuine guy. but a bit naive.

What really sucks is that I am really into space travel and Mars. I love that stuff. Sadly, the two men at the front that could make that happen are the two biggest pricks in this country, (Bozo and Musk). Why does it have to be them? I wish it would be some other genuine people.

I'll match that prediction with Amazon implodes before whole foods does. Amazon is a house of cards institution. It can fall apart faster than it grew, especially if anyone finds out how tied in with the global shutdowns they have been.

Is this a late April Fools' Day, joke?

Amazon purchased Whole Foods, from John Mackey, for almost $14-billion waaaay back in 2017.

Nope.  Word trickery won't work here. Whole Foods was purchased, not merged.

what is? us dictating to business owners, how to run their business??

thats my point. they bought it to destroy it.

They do not see it that. And they have laid out elaborate proof to back their idea and frontier.

I know. And that is Whole Foods' owners' choice to make, for their business model.

I feel like you are willfully avoiding how bizarre you appear, by feeling we should be able to dictate to Amazon how to run a business that they purchased to run in whichever way they please.

Anyway my prediction stands

And my claim stands. We have no grounds to try to tell Amazon what to do with Whole Foods.

I did not say anything about telling amazon what to do. 

But without question...whole foods was a lot better to its employees than amazon. 

I bet that if ordinary people were allowed to vote on which system they prefer, they would go with the highly fascist whole foods model.

Exactly. And that is because you said something far, far worse, when complaining that they were doing things in the way you do NOT want them done. Even though you did not pay nearly $14-billion for Whole Foods like Amazon paid.

Yep.

You said some pretty harsh things about Amazon choosing to handle their own asset in whatever way that please ... you said things like "... Amazon currently has its sights set on whole foods. ... this was not a 'good faith investment'... amazon simply wants to destroy the store.... his intuition has apparently led him to a fascist business model ... let us also note that this clearly is diametrically opposed to amazon, which is known to treat its employees like ****... he dodges certain questions that his politics are probably not correct: "

That's pretty strong, for you to then provide nothing to back up such claims.

It is well established that amazon treats its employees like ****. That is a whole other discussion...but I figured the reader was already educated on basic facts. 

Yes...when the **** company to work for buts out the best company to work for...I feel like there's a malicious angle to it.

If there is factual evidence needed, FOS has been vindicated.  See the link in my previous post

Wholefoods....?
Is THAT the store where all the customers and employees have those nasty looking dreadlocks and knitted yarn berets...?

your critical thinking skills are less than you imagined. I am the one male he predicted in that lost manuscript relocated back in April of 2007. I just don't remember if it was discovered misfiled in Rome Library or Vatican archive vauIt turned up 4 months after I was having a discussion on myspace with a jesuit priest from California saying he had ties with the vatican.

Kind of had same experience with the Deepwater horizon event 3 weeks after sending an email to them the leak was sealed with the idea I sent to them, I was ignored also because I sent the email signed Nostradamus' One Male. My sarcasm really does set off ruling elites profusely.
