I tired to buy Tucker Carlson’s book, Ship of Fools, on Amazon yesterday, but they said I wouldn’t receive it for a couple weeks. I’m a Prime member and always get books immediately. So I went and bought it at Barnes and Noble, and they had plenty there.
So Tucker on his show last night said they are delaying sales of his book because Jeff Bezos is one of the fools depicted in the boat on the cover.

I never qualified for Amazon stock, but I had an opportunity with another company back in the Eighties; that stock now generates a dividend check for several hundred dollars for me every ninety days.
And a few of the people I worked with at Amazon are now going through their second or third cycle of stock rights. A lot of them are mature women who started at age 35-40. They walk 10-15 miles a day as order pickers, or do repetitive jobs for 10 hours -- 4 days a week -- but that's as rough as it gets.''
And that doesn't include the managers, whose options are more generous
Now if you and Cousin Fidel had your say, you'd break into the vault where Big Bad Bezos keeps all that "stolen" money and "redistribute" it, I suppose. Or maybe that's what you tell the "point-and-grunt" element among your followers and dupes.
But a lot of us know that that wealth is represented entirely by the market price of Amazon commons stock and if too much saber-rattling by Uncle Bernie and Aunt Pocahontas causes that stock to "tank", a lot of good people are going to see their own dreams destroyed,
So I suggest that if you see Cuba as such a Workers' Paradise. please haul your sorry self over there, and don't try to force your ideas on the rest of us.
Blah blah blah.
Amazon’s stock value is completely artificial and has nothing to do with hard work, the more people who buy into it, the more wealthy Amazon becomes and the more control they have over other people’s money.
If you have to invest in Amazon to make money, then that means the system is broken, and yet you refuse to acknowledge using feedback to make money off of money has nothing to do with hard work.
Bezos didn’t create capital, he funneled it into his own pocket.
He did it by being better than everyone else at knowing what customers wanted
No. He did it by distorting markets and using excess investments (investments beyond the current worth of the company) to sell products at a loss to close out competition (which destroyed millions of jobs) and then raise them when Amazon was in control of the online market to the point they controlled the distribution of capital.
Wanting one authoritarian company handle retail is delusional and deadly to the costumer, Bezos didn’t work hard to get here.
Amazon is the #1 contributor to Trump’s job numbers.
Amazon is now the second largest private sector employer in the US, after Walmart which has been 1st place for 30+ years.
Yeah. I’d read that before. You’d think Trump would be appreciative instead of steady searching for ways to attack Bezos.
Which pretty much further shores up my “it’s all about him” theory.
