Amazon is not useful enough to justify the negative impact it (and other billionaires) has on society. It's amoral exploitation of the poor. Given that Amazon can be replaced by other companies in a New York minute, no, they are not useful enough to sacrifice your bloody values for it. When has the religion of capitalism become this... monster?
You got it all wrong mate... Capitalism is the SERVANT of society. It exists to serve SOCIETY. It's not the other way around. Society doesn't exist so capitalism can step into second gear and exploit the shit out of it.
You and I, buddy, we're so diametrically opposed on this. I'm not going to explain this any further to you or discuss this matter any longer with you. You said I hate rich people? That's not true. But I detest people like you, people that openly promote maximum exploitation of the weak and the poor for their own personal (or perceived personal) gains. A lot of rich people think like you and those I detest with equal measure. But it's not your wealth that makes me detest you, it's your attitude, your unapologetic selfishness and utter lack of consideration for the guy next to you.
We're done. There's not a single thing you can say that would add or detract to the discussion in a meaningful manner for me.

I don't much care if that offended you. It was pointing to the authoritarian nature of both parties.

Then. Stop. Using. Them.
It's that easy. You can just shop elsewhere, which is why capitalism is so fucking fantastic.
You literally can't, because Amazon's extortion contracts with authors/small publishers and the inherent monopolitic nature of copyright prevents you from buying many articles elsewhere. Not talking about the big publishers that can push back, but smaller publishers/self-published authors? They're hosed. And you think that's fine, because fuck 'em. They're poor, they don't matter.
Absolutely despicable.
And what about their workers? "Hey, you don't have to work at Amazon, go starve somewhere else, there freedom of choice!" Absolute lack of class.

That isn't telling me why it is "his" company... he made a company.. exploited millions of people hundreds of millions when you consider the tax dodging of the company and him personally and then abuses that labour to become the richest man in the world demanding 10 billion in tax payer money while buying two yachts and claiming $4,000 on his children because he made 6 billion but lost money?
Please give me a fucking break.
If you don't like me pointing out the similarities between the parties, that's fine. I don't really need your approval. The same people cheering on limitations to liberty, are the first to clutch at pearls when the Republicans ban things like abortion.
As for the subject at hand, this is all a push to redistribute wealth.

No, that would be the people who oppose liberty.
Marry whomever the fuck you like, the government shouldn't stop you.
Thanks for pointing out just how fucking consistent I am.
Anyone seen Queens Gambit? The 10 year old taking on the entire high school chess club all at once and checkmating them all in 1 hour 20 minutes, they accepting defeat while she goes and eats chocolate back at the orphanage? This thread is like the complete inverse of that.
