You know I’ve been on these forums for a long time. And in the last 2 years it’s seems like there are a lot less people learning and a lot more people who are never willing to admit their faults or when they are wrong. I wonder why?
We also have a moderator regulating name calling while calling people thugs. Interesting change of events here.hippiemom = goodness0 -

What do you think the US would look like without government intervention? I would say you'd have polluted rivers, smog, vast monopolies, event greater wealth disparity, etc.... On the flip side, with total government power you have Russia and China which is not good either.
What I was saying is that Amazon's presence provides jobs for that city, but that city like San Francisco is losing its soul (chain stores and restaurants, rising property values that force existing residents out, etc...). It is a trade off and that is all I was saying.
But with Seattle's homeless problem, how did it go when they tried to increase taxes to pay for it? Yeah, Amazon whined like a little baby and said they would take their ball and go home. Amazon only takes. Green Disease.

who here has used amazon and is thankful for the service they provide?
hiw many people do they employee? How many people sell more stuff and can employee more people because of amazon? Small businesses sell on amazon as well.
I think its ironic that people that are for globalization want nothing g but mom and pop shops. And people who say amazon doesn’t want completion want mom and pop shops to have no competition. People that argue that the ideals of the 50’s that some want to go back to are awful but they want to go back to the 50’s.hippiemom = goodness0 -

Right. The wealth disparity is just despicable right now. There is clearly a problem. Yeah, Bezos had a great idea, but should he be compensated billions for it? I am turning into a liberal as I age because the inequity of all of this is absurd. Where the line is drawn I can't say.

With this new head tax, it will be interesting to see if the homeless population actually grows, because there is incentive to migrate there.0 -
No one person should be worth billions of dollars. It's insane and immoral.
