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.

I don’t know, I don’t see anyone saying that here.

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.
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.

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.

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.
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."
Telling people how much the Trump Tax costs them is now considered “hostility”. Got it.

Anybody want to bet Bazos backs down?
He backed down before Trump even yelled at him, this was never going to actually happen.

exists in reality, logically examines reality, does rational thing
HOW DARE 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.
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
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.
CamelCamelCamel should add it anyway
These snowflakes are offended by their shadow being black. Bunch of fucking idiots.
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.

I mean, I thought Jeff was being charitable during the inauguration.
As a European, I must thank the US for making my pet products cheaper. Way cheaper. Way cheaper than I could ever expect.
I just wish I could buy these products, these same products, without ruining the world and my morality as well.
But what am I talking about… my cats deserve litter robots at 90 % discount. (Edit: obviously sarcasm)
Gotta love the parasite class turning on eachother
Try realistic
The truth is usually hostile to this administration.
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
