Millions of Americans staying at home are relying on Amazon

Some of the people ordering do not get the concept of "warehouse". They think Amazon magically poofs it from computer to door. Nevermind the person operating the van that literally delivers it.

well I guess you must be one of the poor idiots still falling for the virus hoax still on forced lock down then.

Yeah, when there is just one company left, they totally will not raise prices. /S

That's not how it works you brain washed zombie. Amazon started as a small company. Walmart started as a small company. For the love of God, please take an ECON 101 class and learn how things work.

Granted I (and most people on a site like this know) how fake news is. What kills me is how there is not even an attempt to make it appear unscripted. Be fing creative with the propaganda at least. Damn

How do you think they got in 'The Script' in such positive light?

It has everything to do with Amazon.

never waited more than 3 days for my stuff, always fast service.

Go hide, boy!

Amazon is a Monopoly

90% huh?

I know how things work. I know how Amazon started. I know how Wal-Mart started. I get it.

You, AC290 seemed to be cheering on a monopoly in the making (everyone stays home and shops Amazon). Monopolies raise prices because they can. I guess your comment was unclear and you were cheering on competition by assuming everyone other than Amazon (and Walmart) over charges.

Don't reply to me. You are rude.

I've been a customer for over decades. I've been using their "subscribe" service to get items delivered on schedule. Since January, I've been getting notice that my item are not available and they don't know when they'll be in. I know it's not Amazon's fault but I think they need a better notification system so customers have time to look for alternative retailers before they run out of an item.

They all sickeningly read off the same script. It's not just these few stations, it is the ENTIRE country! and the thousands of newspaper$, ALL owned by demon.craps! that is the only view anyone gets in America!!!

Just start your own business. That’s how it works. You probably bitched about Sears and Radio Shack and Macy’s.

No. I didn't. I am not even bitching.

All right. This is how it works.

It is a public relations package. Probably sent out by Amazon although all companies that can afford it try it.

It is just an ad. Idk if Amazon bought it (that used to be illegal), but if they send out a pr pack with scripts and graphics for free... Well, they're not making anyone show it.

How much do you think Amazon is going to charge once they've driven all the competition out of business? How will the economy fare when nobody can get a job except working for a handful of companies like Amazon? Item for item, Amazon isn't even much cheaper than other places either, if at all, they're just a habit of convenience because people get used to automatically going to Amazon for all their purchases.

Fail. Amazon started from nothing. Remember other big stores that failed? It’s how the economy works you communist. Amazon won’t be the big bad bear forever.

Communist? Lol, you have no idea what agenda Bezos is pushing do you? Everything starts from nothing, but multinational corporations are a relatively new phenomenon and they aren't going to be pushed out by some new mom and pop idea. Things have changed drastically, not just in America but on the world stage since Amazon and Google made their bones. Nobody will be pushing them out unless dipshit consumers wake up and realize where this is headed in time. Go read up on why free markets don't really exist anymore due to multinationals and get back to me with your muh communist bullshit. Companies like Amazon will be the end of capitalism as we know it.

Individuals sell goods through Amazon!!!!! The ultimate small business. Anyone can sell on Amazon. It’s not a giant factory making a zillion different goods. It’s just like Etsy or eBay. You pay Amazon to market your product for you. Sheesh.

The point of this thread was supposed to be the scripted news, not the pros and cons of Amazon as a business

Those kinds of jobs are not for older people or those who are physically weak. You need strong, healthy workers, who are young and can do the job.
They should make that a requirement when applying.

It was a CIA front then, they Bezos in place to run it. How else would the CIA get their bankroll?

Idk about Amazon, but it might apply to them...

Some places have a lifting requirement; you have to be able to lift a certain amount of weight.

I know someone who went to work for Amazon kinda recently, but i didn't ask about stuff like that.

What gets me is .. people complain about these large corporate monopolies and the massive profits by some companies and yet still support them. I do not use any of these anymore.. local shops, thrift stores and watch for sales.

I’ve ordered more online In the last couple of months than I ever have. I’m stuck here at home. May as well make it easy on myself. Plus, Amazon provides a platform for a lot of businesses.

Exactly!

That's like not being allowed to operate a business unless the mafia gets a cut.
