Yes, keep making enemies of the billionaires that got this administration into office and spent millions of dollars to do so. I’d very much love that for you.
Good thing this isn’t a country that came about because a bunch of rich white dudes got tired of being taxed and started a revolution.
That’s possibly reframing “no taxation without representation” a bit but I don’t entirely disagree with the sentiment.
How are billionaires being taxed unfairly, and without “Representation,” when they own our politicians?
I don’t know, I don’t see anyone saying that here.
Yeah, you’re full of shit.
I really don’t understand the aggression, I was talking about the old rich dead people propaganda concerning no taxation without representation 200 years ago, I never said anything about the fuckwads we have today.
If you think I’m saying something different, explain what you read and allow me the opportunity to clarify my intent.
Saying I’m full of shit at this point is just asinine.
Insane that the rich hate taxes so much, that they’re willing to put literal narcissist criminal idiots in charge thinking “I can definitely control and predict this guy’s behavior and surely that will be good for my business rather than just not having a 37th yacht and paying taxes and making the world an objectively better place not only for the other 7 billion inhabitants but probably more stable for my own interests as well.”
If we weren’t all being tossed into the furnace with them, it would be something I’d never stop laughing at.
That’s the crazy part, unless they’re “outlawed” billionaires should try and improve people’s lives since it means they would have more money to spend on the crap those billionaires are selling! It’s hard to sell stuff on Amazon if everyone is struggling to afford housing and food.
Better to rule in Hell than serve in Heaven.
They could work to remove the destitution and desperation of working people. But if their workers weren’t in such dire straits, then they wouldn’t have so much power over them. Workers with good pay and a healthy work-life balance also have more time to pursue unionization and other political activities. Even if improving the lives of the people would objectively increase the wealth of the ultra-rich, it would still decrease their power. And ultimately, the only reason people ever obtain that level of wealth is because they desire power more than anything else. People who aren’t power-hungry monsters cash out and retire early long before they reach billionaire status.
They truly believe in the Social Darwinist belief that no one is truly compassionate, empathetic, or altruistic. It’s just an act to gain attention, or an advantage.
They literally can’t understand it, and think it’s a stupid delusion. Their narcissism can’t comprehend that anyone would do anything without wanting something in return. And those who don’t believe that are stupid, and deserve to be exploited.
Because winners are winners, and losers and losers. It’s the natural order. EVERYONE is looking to take what’s yours, and will abuse, rob, and kill you if they can. Because that’s what they would do.
And then there’s the competition with other psychopaths in their peer group…
That level of greed is mental illness. A perpetual state of fear of losing what you have.
You have more than you can ever spend, ever, and you’re in constant fear that someone will take it from you. Because that’s would you do.
The billionaires have thus far been too cheap to amass private armies to directly enforce their own will. Why, when you can lobby Congress for the price of a used Hyundai Sonata to get the Army to do what you want?
The government holds the power of violence and Trump holds the power of the government. The billionaires will be reminded of that if they get out of line. Coincidentally, this is the arrangement of modern Russia.
In the article, Amazon already back peddled and said it was just in the idea phase and they never really planned on implementing it.
That’s the thing that was always gonna happen. They were always gonna bring themselves and subsequently society down. It’s just the crit multi of Donald Trump a lot of people seemed not prepared for.
Just like stating COVID-19 wasn’t lethal, and was just the flu. An estimated 400,000 MAGA Cult Members, out of 1 Million US dead from the virus, believed a narcissist with the mind of child who didn’t want to embarrassed by not having a perfect, fawning, adulating audience to his magnificence. RFK Jr. literal stated recently that CVD-19 only killed “Old People.” Yeah, idiot, some of those old people were someone’s grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, friends, and some of them believed an idiot who told them to take horse dewormer, or fish aquarium chloride to cure it.
This is the same thing. These people are psychopaths.
Telling people how much the Trump Tax costs them is now considered “hostility”. Got it.
Hostility to his ego.
Narcissistic wounds are the worst, don’t you know?
/s
That’ll get the people grumbling.
Walmart should also do this.
Grocery stores too.
Well, it’s never going to happen in the first place
«Amazon moved to distance itself from the report, saying the idea had been considered by Amazon Haul, the company’s recently launched low-cost shopping hub, but had been rejected.
“The team that runs our ultra-low-cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen,” said Tim Doyle, Amazon spokesperson."
So the truth is hostile.
Meanwhile there’s a deportation bill to the tune of 80,000,000,000. These are for concentration camps and 10,000 more ICE Nazis to run them.
They are coming for you.

Amazon never did it.
Chickened out I see
Nah, not chickened out, they’re in cahoots. Example … 40 mil for a shitty Melania documentary is outrageous. For reference, BBC’s planet earth cost 25 million. So… yeah…
Who the actual fuck cares about Melania? I get watching a documentary on Chris Chan cause at least that’s largely a self contained train wreck, but the fuck has Melania ever done that’s even passingly notable?
By the Allfather I can’t even fathom the fucking vanity of these pissants.
A documentary about watching paint dry would have more character and fun facts than anything related to that evil old hag
I’m pretty sure that’s just an episode of How Its Made on history channel circa 2010.
Eh, it’s mostly about the bribe, I’m sure. Having people pretend to be interested in her is just a bonus.
Probably mostly the bribe, but for them to settle on a fucking documentary is just alien to me. Like it’s just asking for folks to take a find toothed comb through her shit, the concept alone makes me want to climb into a hole and further blend into the paint. But I am admittedly coming from a background that utterly encourages being unnoticed except to those you like, good way to not be shot.
Easy to produce, spend the bare minimum, “spend” the rest on “marketing” and voilà, ez 38 mil in Melania’s pockets. Nobody said anything about the documentary being thorough or factual or anything of the sort, you’re thinking of the alternate reality where truth is a thing and Gwyneth Paltrow and other cunts aren’t allowed to peddle their bullshit
CamelCamelCamel should add it anyway
Bezos is to Trump as Trump is to Putin. IOW they each grovel and obey in the hopes their master will give even a slight positive acknowledgement, but it never happens.
The mean girls oligarch shunning is actually kind of hilarious
Haha keep dancing for your new master, Bezos. Fuckhead.
Anybody want to bet Bazos backs down?
He backed down before Trump even yelled at him, this was never going to actually happen.
Why do think he would?
Bezos only cares about profit, and status.
Why would he antagonize 1/3 of the population over stupid politics?
Of course he will. He wants to keep the profits from The Cult. A boycott would hit his profits.
exists in reality, logically examines reality, does rational thing
HOW DARE YOU
These snowflakes are offended by their shadow being black. Bunch of fucking idiots.
Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother
Keep pissing off the elite, trump,.please keep pissing them off.
I love how they get poorer and want to get rid of you some way
I would be pissed if they didn’t. Getting surprised AFTER the purchase with an extra… whatever percentage Trump has settled on this week, would be absolutely infuriating.
