The irony here is Libdave supports policies that drive poverty, unemployment, General misery and societal decay
Walmart power is or was tied to the Chinese state. That is how Wall mart manages to sell products so cheaply. Thanks to the relation between Walmart and China is has some autonomy over the usa zog empire. Money is not the goal of any large corporation, power is the goal.LibDave » 30 Dec 2021, 9:40 pm » wrote: ↑ I suppose you were saying the same thing about WalMart?

First of all no it doesn't. Reagan economics does not work. Bezos cannot hire 10 million prostitutes as long as he has only one penis. Nor does he particularly want to spend money. Greed does not drive our economy...power does.

Wasn't Amazon delivery goods to people's homes in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID a good thing?FOS » 30 Dec 2021, 9:37 pm » wrote: ↑ I do not think you are paying his taxes.

Part of thr motivation for covid lockdowns and legalized shoplifting, for example, is probably to make Amazon the soul retailer in the usa.
And with completely centralized power like amazon etc.. the merchants can increase their coercive power on the population..
First of allnyou should be aware that an Amazon type service was not invented by Amazon. It was actually invented by sears. Shortly after Amazon came into existence sears was sabotaged by its own ceo...obviously deliberately.LibDave » 30 Dec 2021, 9:47 pm » wrote: ↑ Wasn't Amazon delivery goods to people's homes in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID a good thing?
Or perhaps people just liked the service of not having to go shopping. Looks like he was the first to realize. I think he is onto something. He sure earned a lot providing service to people who valued that service. Now it's only right he pay MORE than the taxes he owes. I think he probably should have to give all the money to FOS for a handful of mushrooms. I disagree with his choice to spend the money he earned someplace other than in your back yard.

In 1930, there was more feet than shoes. Now there is more shoes than feet, and we are absolutely over saturated with every commodity, far beyond what we can use. Hence planned obsolescence, which ironically resembles the heart of Communist ideology.. central planned economy.
does that mean that socialism is any more viable now than in 1930.? Probly not, but it absolutely changes the game

You just suggested to me that bezos invented the Amazon business model. I had to correct you. It was sears. You can go Google this and confirm I am right.LibDave » 30 Dec 2021, 10:14 pm » wrote: ↑ Trust me. I'm a lot more aware than you will ever be. You don't know the first thing about me.
