    So 1/4 point up because the jobs report was so good.  Jeezus.  No one will be buying any big ticket items in the future.

    Also Amazon is laying off another 8000 workers.  The storm is coming, the fed hasn’t screwed it up enough yet.

    Because the fed runs Amazon or Bozos?

    In my lifetime, in ‘Murica, I will have witnessed greed take possession of health care, education, housing, energy, media, retail, personal information, space and now, one of the elements essential to life, perhaps way more than the others. Keep hoping for billionaires to solve your problems or provide “essentials.”

    Unfettered greed, it’s a great thing.

    PS: did you see what Elongitaint wanted to do with his Boring waste in Tejas? Yup, he deserves another tax break or three, fer sure.

    Nothing has one to do with the other.  It's funny that the jobs report was good and Amazon is still laying off.

    This has been about 80,000 jobs lost by big tech these past few months.

    Maybe because folks are enjoying their freedumbs and going to brick and mortar stores?

    Have you used bozos platform or website recently? Garbage. Hasn’t reinvested a dime. But let’s give him another tax break or three.

    I mean I use it daily. For me it’s not even close. Great prices, fastest shipping and the absolute best customer service, especially when compared to any other big business.  But that’s my opinion and experience. I’ve been using them since 2006.

    Cable , internet, AT&T , utilities, any other big name merchant, NIKE, TICKETMASTER ,  just a few that come to mind that  I’ve had to deal with personally. It’s always an ordeal. Anytime I’ve called Amazon, I’m on the phone with a rep quickly and done in no time.

    Love Amazon. 

    I read an interesting article about Meta and their job cuts.  Turns out they hired thousands when they didn't need them.  The people did zero work.  They were hired to prevent other companies from hiring them.  Now these people are out.  I would guess this strategy was prevalent in the computer engineering world.

    But are you really on every day with those other providers? You order a lot of shoes and tickets? Cable goes out, phone too?  And why would you have to call them if they’re so great? Weird.

    So 1/4 point up because the jobs report was so good.  Jeezus.  No one will be buying any big ticket items in the future.

    Also Amazon is laying off another 8000 workers.  The storm is coming, the fed hasn’t screwed it up enough yet.
    Because the fed runs Amazon or Bozos? 
    Nothing has one to do with the other.  It's funny that the jobs report was good and Amazon is still laying off.

    This has been about 80,000 jobs lost by big tech these past few months.
    Maybe because folks are enjoying their freedumbs and going to brick and mortar stores?

    Have you used bozos platform or website recently? Garbage. Hasn’t reinvested a dime. But let’s give him another tax break or three.
    I mean I use it daily. For me it’s not even close. Great prices, fastest shipping and the absolute best customer service, especially when compared to any other big business.  But that’s my opinion and experience. I’ve been using them since 2006. 
    What are you comparing it to when you say, “any other big business?”

    Yea I do order a ton of sneakers and tickets. And yes, I’ve been buying stuff from Amazon for 17 years and shit happens sometimes. I’m never on hold for more than 5 min and my problem is resolved immediately. Can’t say that for any other company. 

    I’m not going back and forth with you on this. I’ve explained how I felt about Amazon. I love them. You don’t. That’s cool.

    Ummm, no.  Because people aren't being paid to stay at home anymore and the money has run dry so it's back to the way it was.

    Love Amazon. 

    I read an interesting article about Meta and their job cuts.  Turns out they hired thousands when they didn't need them.  The people did zero work.  They were hired to prevent other companies from hiring them.  Now these people are out.  I would guess this strategy was prevalent in the computer engineering world. 
    Jeez what a scummy move 
    This is what the UCLA Wooden Bruins did so other teams across the country couldn't recruit other players.  Just hoard them all and not even use them.

    One criticism is that it's impossible to chat with them now.  You can into a circular set of links and no way to chat.  It's pissing me off because they keep sending me the wrong coffee.

    My wife uses the chat. I honestly alway call. Once they confirm through text I usually get someone right away. And I’ve found the people on the phone to be more able to provide certain solutions than through the chat, which is why I only call.

    Why the pissiness? Good lord, god forbid you ask a question these days.

    okay, so you order a bunch a shit from Amazon. IMO, if their platform is great, you don’t need to call them. Cable, phone, internet, shit or person shows up, shit works, maybe I call once every two years or when the term expires and it’s time for renewal. Other websites or online retailers have much better websites. Amazon? Too many clicks. Disorganized and looks like a website from the early 2000s. Enjoy your love.

    I used to see Amazon deliver to my neighbours every day and sometimes multiple times per day from pandemic lockdown to present. What are they buying? God only knows. But every time I use Amazon to research a product, I think what a shit website. Then I go to a brick and mortar store or purchase directly from the source online. That web experience is way better than Amazon. And I never need something by 10:00 am tomorrow. Unless it’s a tour announcement.
