Elizabeth Warren for president

Bezo’s contribution through Amazon most definitely justifies his enormous wealth.

Whether it’s feasible for him to accumulate so much wealth is a different story, at some point, wealth inequality can flip the system, but GTFO with this bullshit.

Stealing? What did he steal? He provided a service. And yes he’s paying his workers less than what they’re worth. But guess what you poor bastard? Most occupations will pay you less than what your worth hourly. If they didn’t, they wouldn’t keep you around.

And a function of your pay is based on how easily replaceable you are. Once people understand this, they start making real daddy stacks.

Uh, no. If Amazon was not exploiting its workers, Bezos would not be a billionaire. It is almost as if the entire value generated by the company comes from their collective labor.

Not to mention, if they were being paid a living wage, the rest of us would not have to prop up their existence with social safety net programs. This, on top of the tax deficit we have to make up, because Amazon is also not paying its fair share of taxes, which means taxpayers are getting hit twice.

And for what? So Jeff Bezos can sit on more money than he could ever spend in several lifetimes? Get the **** out of here with that.

He exploited more than his workers. His team of experts also exploited tax loopholes, legal battles, strong-armed book distributers and sellers to fall within their pricing model, pushed the envelope (pun intended) with legal distribution practices (which caused some laws and regulations to have to be changed), and probably a list of a dozen other things that I'm ignorant of or forgetting.

Amazon is an example of a behemoth of capitalism. Almost a perfect series of capitalistic execution that led to their position of ultimate retail power.

I don't understand why price fixing works.

When Nintendo said "Meet our price point, or no stock for you", why didn't the retailers all say "Ok. We're carrying Sega from now on."

Pretend you're a retailer.

You have to go to your boss and justify the loss of $200 million in margins on the new Nintendo Switch because Nintendo will not distribute to retailers that mark-up their products.

Let me know how that conversation goes.

But you might ask, "If all of them do it, there's no margins for anyone because it doesn't sell."

That's where you're wrong, bucko. Try to convince all potential retailers to cooperate to dump one of the largest video gaming companies. They are literally competitors with each other. If Target vies to dump the Nintendo Switch due to the strong-arm tactics of Nintendo, here comes Amazon and Walmart to sell the shit out of the Switch, taking over all of Target's potential lost margins: now they split those $200 million in margins between the two of them, increasing their own margins.

Capisci?

Uh oh, Zucky don't want her:

Leaked: Facebook CEO says he will 'go to the mat and fight' if Elizabeth Warren is elected president

Trumpers who were anti Facebook now cuck for the Zuck because this involves Lizzy Warren. Too funny.
