Oh boy... I need a linguist to teach me how to talk to a wall... I hit one wall after another..
Do you know the qualitative difference between what gates contributes to human civilization and what bezos does? I am not supporting that gates deserves the money he makes， but at least he is providing some tangible products that empower people to become more productive and open up a completely new sector of jobs all through intellectual inventions and fair competitions.
In contrast, bezos employs dirty Wall Street capital tools and unethical business strategies to unfairly compete with small business owners by selling at losses to bankrupt millions of businesses and keep pushing their boundaries into other sectors. Its invasive and malicious business operations do not create wealth nor jobs but simply steal business opportunities from honest and hardworking small business owners.
Due to the advancements in technology and transportation, the way that people communicate, travel, shop, etc have changed.
Small business don't have the customer loyalty of the past. A customer can just get on an Uber to a Costco or BJ to shop. A customer can just log online and create a re-ordering shopping list to be delivered to their home. Remember, the customer will go to whoever saves them the most $ and provides the best service.
Human customer service is not really required anymore. Look at the Kiosk in McDonalds. Look at Stamps.com. Writing a check is a thing of the past since you can pay all your bills online.
Everything keeps on changing.
A good amount of small business owners sell on Amazon.
Mr gants, if you care enough to find out about the failing poors, go and survey the homeless population on nyc streets and you will be shocked by how many of them used to be small business owners who got crashed by bezos and his gang...
does this help you understand how the riches are depriving job/survival opportunities for millions of honest citizens who are willing to work hard but are unfairly out competed by the ponzi business schemes that bezos invented?
bezos is a pioneer in repurposing those poisonous capital tools he mastered from his wall street experience to "legally" rob the wealth of people on the main street...it takes some wisdom to see through what he has been doing and plans to do...of course, most of his fans lack that wisdom to understand how he builds his evil empire...
You seem obsessed with Jeff Bezos and Amazon. What did he do to you?
What about Wal-Mart, Sears, K-Mart, JC Penney, Target, Kmart, Costco, BJ, etc? Small business owners were affected by big dept chains and then E-commerce gave them a fighting chance. If used properly a small business owner can increase his/her brand awareness and reach with E-commerce and social media. They can sell direct to customers on Amazon, various other marketplace markets, their own site and capitalize on the market reach that Amazon and other marketplace markets have in the USA.
Amazon revolutionized e-commerce. People are content with buying things online and avoiding going to a store, dealing with traffic, poor customer service, no inventory, etc.
Not sure about the % of homeless population that were small business owners. Where are you getting that from? What % were small business owners?
Please stop dancing around and share your wisdom with us? "it takes some wisdom to see through what he has been doing and plans to do...of course, most of his fans lack that wisdom to understand how he builds his evil empire"

Did my posts above not already answer your questions ， Mr ryu?

You are completely out of your mind. I've actually volunteered for the city homeless census two years ago... I assure you none of them were small business owners that got outcompeted by Bezos... lol. Do you even believe what you are saying?
Trump's tax cut is what created the deficits. This was agreed to BEFORE they took control over Congress so the deficits were baked in. You do know that the Dems don't control the Senate and Trump does have veto power.
OK, so a constitutional amendment preventing Congress to run deficits in peace time is not such a bad idea after all, right? No matter who is in charge.
What does suck money out of you mean ? I mean let's break down what we are all talking about
I don't know. Ask leoliu. I am not the one arguing that billionaires, by definition, are conspiring against me and are stealing money from me.
In fact, I would argue completely the opposite. Majority of billionaires got there by providing some kind of valuable good or service that people paid for voluntarily.
If you are not concerned by the power and speed of how bezos/suckberg and alike suck in their undeserving share of wealth in an extreme short period of time, and what they are doing and plan to do to invade/colonize other sectors of the economy by leveraging their merciless and unethical tech+capital combo business models, you are not sensitive enough to understand the looming threat born by their wealth/greed-transformed power.
It doesn't bother me as much because they are private citizens and they are pushing the economy with their power and any inefficiencies with the market economy are being scrubbed away. Buffet and Zuckerberg is aware of income inequalities and they know that raking in billions is not good for the economy. But they can't just change the country without government action.
The deep state is more dangerous because they are here to ensure they stay in power and they have the power to kill a president that we the people elect or stop the people from taking back the country.
OK, so a constitutional amendment preventing Congress to run deficits in peace time is not such a bad idea after all, right? No matter who is in charge.
Right. In fact Clinton left a budget SURPLUS and the deficits were declining by the end of the Obama administration.
You don't need a constitutional amendment. You just need to tell the GOP no tax cuts unless they can find revenue offsets. Even Reagan and daddy Bush had ti reverse some tax cuts.
