Amazon is trying to make everyone poor and create an eternal underclass.

Isn't giving into Amazon's business just helping boost their monopoly on the delivery market? Sure, it's capitalism at its finest, but in the end it'll just promote less people buying or providing goods. That'd just have even more people forced to work for other people instead of attempting to actually provide for themselves.

Face it, eventually monopolies become inefficient. They key is to encourage constant market competition.

Is this really your response? Amazon doesn't deal in fucking supercars. Getting paid 5$ an hour means you can still buy necessities, and if amazon can deliver them cheaper then Walmart, then amazon wins.

Yeah, because allowing near-monopolies sure is a great way to keep your economy fit, right?

Brick and mortar stores with shit selection and high markups don't benefit consumers. Why should they have de facto gibsmedat? Compete or fuck off.

The idea that those overpriced, uncompetitive local stores are somehow better in any way is a lie EXCEPT for those which compete based on SERVICE, and they are under no threat.

Amazon and Ebay save my time, gas money, and the hassle of shopping with a bunch of niggers.

Fuck strip malls, fuck driving to stores and trying to find parking, fuck delaying my projects to do that.

Amazon, or any other mega-corporation, never put a small competitor out of business.

I worked there, dipshit. I know how it works. They sell garbage products manufactured in China, Pakistan, Taiwan, etc. They sell normal products as well, but they are more expensive. It was Somalians and rainbow clothed faggots as far as the eye could see. They manhandled products and got their curry fingers on everything.
A truly soulless corporation, everything about the company "culture" is contrived. They had newsletters in the bathrooms called InSTALLments that would talk about how wonderful gay people are and what a noble hero Bezos was.

Congress made USPS prefund all the pensions 100% up front which is retarded and immediately made their fiscal state really bad

>What if your credit card company told you: “You will charge a million dollars on your credit card during your life; please enclose the million dollars in your next bill payment. It’s the responsible thing to do.” Doesn’t seem quite right, does it?
>Well, that’s what the U.S. Postal Service’s requirement to prefund its long-term pension and healthcare liabilities is like. The Postal Service is required to pay the full estimate of its liabilities, currently estimated at nearly $404 billion, even as that estimate moves around and is based on assumptions that are highly uncertain and can frequently change over the life of the liability. Our recent white paper, Considerations in Structuring Estimated Liabilities, evaluates these assumptions and other considerations and shows the Postal Service is closer to being fully funded, or potentially overfunded, when certain assumptions are reasonably adjusted or considered.

I can't even tell what your argument is. You image shows why unfettered capitalistic markets are bad but your text says any government regulation is bad?

At this point people should just accept that we don't and never will live in a free market. Businesses should only care about profit but that means things like outsourcing or bad employment practices creep in. Which may benefit the businesses bottom line but is of negative to the community in which it operates. The Government is there to take a wider view above that of individual businesses and through regulation, taxation (or inversely tax incentives) distort/shape the market in a way they consider beneficial (Obviously people have different views on what is beneficial and who actually benefits from certain regulations)

>>137741078

You moron, Amazon doesn't have to pay sales taxes in many states, retailers do. That gives Amazon a huge advantage in addition to their already considerable advantage.

I can't make this any clearer for you. I worked at one of their fulfillment centers. My wife is an Amazon Prime fag. I just ordered some ant traps and guitar picks from Amazon a few weeks ago, so I could enjoy my shitty, employee discount one last time. I assure you I know what I am talking about. I have about 5 years of warehouse experience, I've been a grunt, a lead, a supervisor, and did manager and general manager duties as an overworked wave planner. I know how good or bad things can be in a factory setting. Amazon is very clean and state-of-the-art, but they shoot themselves in the foot with their adherence to "standard work procedure" and by making the environment miserable for their workers. They played music for certain departments 1 hour every other day, silly shit like that.

What do you do on this farm? What kind of crops?


Farm work generally sucks ass and exposes you to a looooot of chemicals. Pretty nasty chemicals.

You're either still in some kind of romanticized honeymoon period or you work on a small hippy farm where you pull some dandelions and call it a days work.


Not that amazon is great either, that would also suck. But I think it would suck less than serious farmwork. You ever have to drive the spray rig from 2am - 10am? Then from 7pm to 6am that next day? Can't go any faster than 5mph on that tractor while spraying.

Retail is becoming obsolete. Internet is the new shopping ground. Even here in the 3rd world this has started to happen.

With Internet stores products are cheaper and better, as no intermediaries are needed, no paid publicity needed thanks to Social Media, so you pay just for the product, nothing else.

I just see a lot of folks get this romanticized idea of farming, then they show up to an actual commercial farm with 3k+ acres and see the brutal work involved...then they decide fuck farming and want to go hike the pct or something. desu I'm jealous of smaller organic farmers.

Sounds fulfilling anon, good stuff.

>>137741240
That's pretty much what all businesses do in a capitalistic society. Dat sweet universal basic income will be coming sooner thanks to Bezos. Love that guy.

When jobs go, new jobs come in retards. Thats why automation jobs are out and engineering jobs are in. Get some skills or get killed!

>>137741078
this, if the way business works changes it's the tax laws that should change, not this idea that amazon should ship shit less succesfully.

I voted Trump but this is retarded. It's basically saying "car makers are destroying us, horses will be useless soon!"

If Trump would realize that tech is the future and blue collar jobs are dying he could make some serious progress. The reality is robots will be doing everything for us really soon.

>>137741078
he's absolutely right. This is why I hate libertarians. They're completely brainwashed with the "we must do something because we are technologically able to" meme, even if it results in lower quality of life. In the future people will recognize our current situation as a form of technological pollution, where humanity automated recklessly without allowing society to catch up.

>>137743543
Why you gotta perpetuate the stereotype.

I love Trump, but trade and protectionism has always been the one thing I disagree with him on

>>137751820
>It takes years to build a business
Yes, time that Amazon has taken to get this fucking fat.
>muh things should be ezpz everybody should be able to get rich tomorrow

Kek no, and if you think that you're an entitled piece of garbage or communist.

I agree with him on the tax paying part, these multinational corporations are scum.
This is one of the few instances I support government intervention. Force them to pay tax and break them up to prevent monopolies. Hopefully small businesses can compete then.

>>137752045
>blue collar jobs are dying
That's not something you can just say like that. It's a fucking tragedy because half the population is incapable of high skilled work. I don't think you fully realize how consequential those words really are.

This will only lead to death and destruction in the future as a large portion of the population loses their purpose in life.

>>137741078
>liberals now unironically defend Amazon not paying taxes
>liberals now unironically love how Amazon has an unfair advantage over mom-and-pop stores that have to pay sales tax that Amazon avoids

Trump Derangement Syndrome is amazing to watch. Liberals are puppets.

You are scum. Accept the consequences of your own actions and shoulder the costs of your own idiocy.

Amazon loses money on paper these days because they aggressively reinvest their money. In the early days they were losing money to gain a central foothold in the web shopping experience, but it isn't true anymore.

>>137751820
>Amazon can just lower their prices!
Yes, and the consumer just gets lower prices.

Learn to competitive advantage or disappear.

>Daily reminder the median household income peaked at the dot com bubble.

Dat sweet global economic collapse. Don't fret though by that time they've probably used the last of the planet's resources to build police bots. You'll be protected

You fucking ancaps I hate you so much.

You know what "FREE" market means? It means as much competition as possible, monopolies must be destroyed to maintain it, you idealogues sicken me

>>137752306
>unfair advantage
I like this meme, how is it unfair that they've taken risks that nobody dared to and were laughed out of the building when they suggested that people should want to buy things online.

Now it's unfair that they control the online market that was totally unoccupied and they should cede their competitive advantage because morons didn't see it coming.

>>137751559
But what if society is not maintain?

O grow a set

We would crush anyone in a trade war. we dont export jack shit.

>>137752538
>monopoly
Amazon is not a monopoly children. There are other stores.

>>137752293

It's a sad reality is what it is. People are just going yo have you use their brains instead their bodies if they want to contribute to the work force. Unless you either want a shitty 12 dollar an hour warehouse job (which soon could be gone) or a tough job like building skyscrapers.

>>137741078
Fuck Amazon. Stop supporting big corporations and start supporting local businesses. Trump is gonna go full NatSoc. He don't give a fuck now. His reputation is already ruined by the media. There are people who will vote for him no matter what. That's who he'll cater to.

>>137752659
>we would crush anyone in a trade war
Not without being hurt ourselves

>>137752293
But it's true. There are many countries and instances in history which show what happens if you disregard obsolecency in the name of popular support. Shit changes and now faster than ever.

>>137752370
Good. If robots can do the job better and more acurate then let them fucking do it. Thats why we dont have horses anymore, we have cars. Things come and go and you have to ADAPT to new skills and jobs. Get off your lazy ass and learn robotics

>>137752370
I bet you're one of those guys who think we should go back to the horse-drawn carriage, to save all those metalworking jobs that making horseshoes and harness equipment requires that the car utterly destroyed.

>>137752899
I think you are too stupid to understand the implication of knowledge work being automated.
You "learning robotics" is going to be irrelevant.

Also funny since I'm a techbro and you're a NEET.

It's not totally Amazon's fault.
People don't give a fuck to go out anymore.they will do what is most convient. If Amazon was broken up, then ebay or another online company would become a monopoly. Brick and mortar isn't coming back

Come get your universal basic income guys

>>137752191
You didn't tackle the meat of my post

You spend 5 years to become profitable building a business and all Amazon has to do is lower their prices for a short time and you're finished

I use this example >>137751308 because I had a family friend who made a good living running a video store in the 90's and he was run out of business.

When the rental prices when up to $7 at blockbusters... he went back into his old shop and started renting movies again for the standard $2.99 for new releases 99 cents for old

He got huge amounts of business than the BB lowered their price to match him, he went out of business again and then they raised the prices.....PEOPLE ARE FUCKING STUPID, THEY"RE NOT RATIONAL ACTORS

>>137752894
All products except medicine, defense, and a few other key sectors should have a productivity cap in place to support manufacturing jobs.

>>137753141
So am I. Who is gonna be the ones fixing the robots when they go down? Who is going to be developing the base software for the machines? I aaaaaam! And that means $$$$

>>137751232
>compared Craigslist to Amazon
Top kek

>>137752874
>supporting local businesses
>paying $12 for a gallon of milk so the local farmer can get fat for no other reason than 'its local' while poor business people who slave away for years to make prices low and employ thousands of people through scale and competitive pricing should just die because they're not from next door.

Literal retardation.

>>137753239

>>137753445
nice series of gross exaggerations man. you're real smart. i can see why you wouldn't see the benefits of supporting local business. hopefully i can learn to be like you one day

>>137753411
Other robots, you moron.
You're a jobless burger.

>>137741078
Makes me Love Trump even more. I hate Amazon, they're a bunch evil jew commies and they don't take paypal. Fuck Amazon, use ebay.

>>137753445
>Give your money to the jews instead of your people the post

Its at most a dollar more to buy local

>>137753437
>compared craigslist to amazon
Yes I did, you can sell stuff on there too in a list. That's basically what Amazon does without the bells and whistles. Does it mean they do it well?

No, but then again that's why amazon is so successful...

>>137753398
>productivity cap

Enjoy being overshadowed by the rest of the world in 3 years. It happened. You stop developing for a second and the rest of the world catches up in a jiffy.

Stop panicking. This exact thing happened every century since the 1500. Everything stabilizes in a way everyone ends up better eventually.

Nothing, get dicked on, because people are still voluntarily choosing Amazon over you. As long as there is consistent pressure on Amazon to keep prices low who the fuck cares
