    Amazon just put in an order for 20,000 delivery vans. They will circumvent the USPS at some point in the future.

    UPS, FedEX, DHL too.

    Sanders is a dirty commie queef. I don't care about any of his ideas. Amazon is a monopoly, break it up. Level the playing field by going after their sweet USPS deal that allows their Hong Kong sellers to ship shit to the United States for CHEAPER than you can send a postcard to your next door neighbor, for starters. End the subsidies to Chinese sellers that you are paying every time you use the USPS. And if you want a guaranteed $15 wage, move to a shithole like Seattle.

    OBK can only buy shit on Amazon. No where else.
    I don't buy shit on Amazon at all. I used to, but stopped after I saw what a rotten company for the US it is and how it is killing jobs and retailers everywhere. When you start seeing big box retailers like Macy's and Sears closing down, even whole shopping malls closing down due to the Amazon effect, it's time to #dosomething.
    Malls and big box retailers suck. I have some sympathy for Mom and Pop brick and mortars but Walmart, Macy's, Target and the rest of their ilk killed the Mom and Pops off before Amazon was around.
    How many mom and pop shops do you think Amazon killed off? They number in the six figures at least. What is this shit company doing for America in return?
    Don't know but Walmart was notorious for going into small, heartland towns, under cutting mom and pops and fucking up the local economy before Amazon existed. Amazon is killing big box retailers. Big box retailers killed mom and pops. Adapt to the online market place or die. Circle of life.
    The Walton family heirs support the far left as does the vast majority of large corporate America. $ = power
    Its almost as if these cucks want their assets seized by the socialists. Thats exactly what will happen if that branch of the democrat party ever gains majority power.
    You want to seize Amazon's assets.


    Communist.
    The channeling of Hondo is skrong in this poast. How is stopping taxpayer subsidies to Amazon a communist position? Thats the free market at work, knave.
    Your position is government intervention and the break up of Amazon. Commie.

    It is sad how the USPS bowed down to China though.

    It's sad, but you don't really give a fuck do ya? Hey man, if the socialists are voted into power, it's no biggie either, it's the peoples' will. Stock up on rabbits brah.
    Sounds like you care that you think that I don’t care but in reality I do very little business with Amazon, so I really do care.

    As for the rest of your rant, it’s Tim for a long walk.

    It's going to be special when the US undergoes an electrical grid attack by a foreign enemy and online shopping grinds to a halt. Brick and mortar will always be relevant.
    Sometimes you go off the rails and show us you’re really just a statist and not really into the free market. Just like Bernie.
    You and @creepycoug have a diseased concept of free markets. free markets to you two means open borders free flow of international labor and the ability to pay your illegal alien lawnmower 25 cents an hour. Maybe you are both the same guy. Whats your view on China, Amazon, ebay and the Hong Kong Post getting subsidized by the USPS and consequently, by the US tax payer? Thats just the free markets at work, right?
    Oh bullshit. I’m a classical liberal/libertarian. Possiblly an ANCAP. (Probably not, but close). You have no fucking clue what the free market is if you think it’s defined by national boarders. My view on all of thaty is no company should get subsidized anything. And if someone is willing to assemble a lawnmower for 25 cents an hour by their own free will, then great, that person feels they are better off and the purchaser of the lawnmower is better off. No government needed.

    You’re all over the map and inconsistent when describing your “free market” views.

    Open borders supporter, I knew that because you said it in another thread. Most people in the US despise the idea of Soros style open borders "free markets." Just look at all the shit and unrest happening in Europe now because of it. The UK voted to Brexit over open borders immigration, Merkel is getting closer to being shitcanned and populist governments have sprouted up all over the continent, including a far right government in Austria. I would say this is the end result of your international free market experiment, but it's probably not. It's going to get far worse before it gets fixed, if it does at all.

    Your problem is that you ignore the social cost and consequences of the policies you support. Do you not understand this basic concept of human nature: that the natives will fight (and even take up arms) to prevent themselves from being displaced by the foreign hordes that their feckless 'leaders' force upon them against their will? Anti immigrant militias are sprouting up in Europe now.

    Your open borders 'free market' experiment has already been tried and it's failing miserably, because it completely ignores the basic tribalism that folks embrace when they feel their people, their nation and their national identity are under attack. The left doesn't get this. Or they ignore it because they're just plain stupid, evil or both. It's why they are being routed everywhere now. The implosion of the left is an international phenomenon.

    I support breaking up monopolies. That isn't a communist position either, idiot. It's actually a free market position. Monopolies are anti-free market and engage in anti free market behavior. Like Amazon does constantly and consistently. Even against its own sellers internally. The USPS is complicit in Amazon's anti-free market activities.

    The Bern is a special kind of fucktard but he knows his demo.

    "Called the “Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies” Act, or Stop BEZOS Act, the bill would impose a 100 percent welfare tax on large employers equal to the amount that their workers receive in public assistance benefits, in an effort to encourage companies to raise wages. ............................

    In addition to the public spat between Sanders and Amazon, the senator names other large U.S. corporations, including McDonalds, Walmart and American Airlines, as targets of his bill."

    Lol nevermind that those people should stop getting welfare so that they demand higher wages in a free market. We need to tax people, so that we can give other people benefits, and then tax those people's employers for not paying them more, so that we can in turn use that money to fund further welfare, and then be outraged when welfare recipients don't demand a higher wage...

    Only in a government "efficient" market is this possible. Fuck Bernie's pandering bullshit.

    Don't know but Walmart was notorious for going into small, heartland towns, under cutting mom and pops and fucking up the local economy before Amazon existed. Amazon is killing big box retailers. Big box retailers killed mom and pops. Adapt to the online market place or die. Circle of life.
    And before that it was Sears & Roebuck doing the same thing to any competition that sprang up on towns all over the U.S. It's not like we just invented capitalism or market share.

    Sanders is a dirty commie queef. I don't care about any of his ideas. Amazon is a monopoly, break it up. Level the playing field by going after their sweet USPS deal that allows their Hong Kong sellers to ship shit to the United States for CHEAPER than you can send a postcard to your next door neighbor, for starters. End the subsidies to Chinese sellers that you are paying every time you use the USPS. And if you want a guaranteed $15 wage, move to a shithole like Seattle.

    OBK can only buy shit on Amazon. No where else.
    I don't buy shit on Amazon at all. I used to, but stopped after I saw what a rotten company for the US it is and how it is killing jobs and retailers everywhere. When you start seeing big box retailers like Macy's and Sears closing down, even whole shopping malls closing down due to the Amazon effect, it's time to #dosomething.

    Hi. Montgomery Wards, KMart, Ernst Malmo, and even Walmart back east were major players too. It wasn’t until Walmart’s massive expansion in the 90s that Mom and Pop stores started to go by the wayside. With that said, the Genies out of the bottle for Amazon. They’ve already broke the will of their shippers. They will never be forced to be taxed like a brick and mortar is. They’re too powerful now.

    So in 20 years, you’ll be able to buy products from one of two sources. Amazon or Walmart.com.
