Fiddle while Rome burnsI live in Houston and I haven't read a newspaper in years. No big loss there.
People post every moment of their lives on Facebook, then want privacy?? Anyone who uses the internet or any of the Siri, Cortana, Alexa, etc. devices gave up their privacy willingly. Privacy has become a unicorn in this world with most letting go without complaint, just to have the latest and greatest technology. Got an iPhone? Apple knows where you've been. Got GPS in your car? Own a fitness tracker? Those are all a drop in the bucket.
Bezos had an excellent business strategy as witnessed by his willingness to go years without a profit to make his business a success. I have no doubt that at some point, Amazon's empire will be splintered by anti-trust laws or such. As for all the ridiculous complaints that Amazon pays no taxes... first that's absurd and second, they follow the TAX LAWS of this country. So they'd be really stupid to not use those laws to advantage.
Bezos is rich and the sky is falling. Yawn.
Exactly what is your fear from Amazon? Does it truly affect your life one way or another?Fiddle while Rome burns
Same here, Terry. Since I am an avid reader, books from Amazon were my very first online purchase back in 1996. Wow, the money I have spent in those 24 years.Love Amazon. That is one place I can find anything . I admire Bezos and the way he started his business. I always check Walmart first and then Amazon. Between the two I can get anything need.
Me three. Getting books from Amazon are usually here the next day. I like that there’s an amazon guarantee and that my credit card is on file so I don’t have to mess with that every single time I purchase. The search feature is helpful and since there’s so much fierce competition, the prices , great. Quite often you can find things cheaper on Amazon.Love Amazon. That is one place I can find anything .
