She should take the number of sales he has as a big hint.
She's welcome to write one of her own with her own viewpoint.
Or she can increase his sales by one and leave a review

Warren is just one more reason why I object to people over 70 holding political office.

(I'm 68, btw.)
You may dislike Pelosi. She is the literal thing holding back AOC, Tlaib and Omar etc and other walking viruses.

There are a lot of consumers who would look at Amazon peddling this disinformation and look elsewhere for where they buy their stuff. I imagine if they yanked this, the seller would just try to find some other platform of the same ilk as the author.

Amazon isn't the only game in town anymore. There are competitors who would love to take Amazon's place as the "go to" for people buying things online, and they are already able to provide products cheaper and faster.

History should teach us that the biggest companies eventually fall because of their arrogance in not recognizing consumer demand, and part of that can be because of having a socially irresponsible attitude.

This is what she wants from Amazon-

Well, the good senator could have used her search engine skills and easily found the answer all on her own.

The answers to her questions are essentially it’s the book people are searching for and/or purchasing.

This is what she wants them to do, by the way:



Offical letter from Warren to Amazon

Tyranny far too often starts with the good intent to “protect” people from themselves.
Funny, coming from someone claiming to be Native American to claim college scholarships set aside for native Americans.

Milieu Control

The most basic feature of the thought reform environment, the psychological current upon which all else depends, is the control of human communication. Through this milieu control the totalist environment seeks to establish domain over not only the individ- ual's communication with the outside (all that he sees and hears, reads and writes, experiences, and expresses), but also—in its penetration of his inner life—over what we may speak of as his communication with himself. It creates an atmosphere uncom- fortably reminiscent of George Orwell's 1984…

Always question the motives of people that want to ban and censor information. Our founders knew how important freedom of expression is to a free country.

Stopped buying e-books years ago in favor of physical copies for this very reason, and have also been buying books that I don't necessarily intend to read, at least not immediately, but which I feel could end up on the chopping block and are important enough to preserve, including a lot of books on American history.

It's amazing to me that there have been remakes of several of the dystopian "warning" movies recently, such as Fahrenheit 451, but nobody seem to be "getting it."
