And ebay is still trying to get water to stick on the wall. Such disgust for the thieves.
As bad as people feel about Ebay, Amazon is the real problem.
Amazon is a Wall Street-constructed monopoly that seeks to provide wealth for the few by enslaving sellers and making them work harder for less.
Amazon is also destroying American small and medium business by allowing the subsidized Chinese sellers to wipe them out. Again, only the few make get wealth from this, including the Chinese people, because Chinese businesses use slave labor for such low prices. It is the already-wealthy connected to the Chinese government that profit from these businesses.
The buyer will also eventually be a slave of Amazon, being allowed to choose only from products that the few get wealth from.
A monopoly means a lack of choice. It means total control.
The Wall Street media carefully avoids any discussion of any of these issues. Amazon even has started to move their monopoly into the media. “Reporters” are just their shills that hide discussion of the problems. . Keep the slaves and future slaves ignorant.
Will it be too late by the time people realize this?
There has also been a shell game going on at Amazon. As the monopoly is formed, profits are not so important along the way to the ultimate goal.
Amazon has never been a retail “success.”
The dirty secret is that their cloud services have funded the retail loss (and sellers that impoverish themselves for the monopolists)
People are delusional if they think Amazon is a shining success.
Wall Street lets them fund the losses with profits from other things it because the goal is a full monopoly, and they are focused on the goal
The few are using Amazon to provide for a future of wealth and control for themselves.
They will also be able to totally control legislators because they wipe out all competition (and destroy small and medium business in the US that competes for legislator attention) so that eventually there will be no hope for breaking this monopoly up, and they will get things like TPP passed that will make them immune to laws.
The Wall Street media keeps you unaware of any of this game going on, and people either don’t know where to seek the true information, or they want to believe delusions they are fed.
If anyone thinks that Jeff Bezos is anything but a puppet lol they are unfortunately mistaken.
