The real reason why Trump vilifies Amazon :-)))

1. When she started her company, she wanted to be a luxury brand.

Her goal was to be a luxury brand like Prada, Gucci, Jimmy Choo...etc. Wealthy women weren't interested, so she ended up making junk that you can find in discount stores. Stores like TJ Maxx have had to discount her unsold clothes even further.

2. I think the bigger issue

Is Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

He hates any news outlet that doesn't kiss his ass.

[Dave Starsky]

3. That's EXACTLY it.

This vengeful little emotional 12-year-old is pissed off that the Washington Post isn't nicer to him, and therefore the owner of that paper must be punished.

There's no other reason, economic or otherwise, to do all this. He is just simply mad, and I mean that in terms of anger and insanity.

4. The sad thing is

I am not crazy about a huge conglomerate owning a newspaper either. It is too important to democracy to have in the hands of someone with such a specific agenda.

However, it seems to be better than the alternatives in the economic reality that is print journalism these days.

7. Same here. I didn't know Bezos owned WaPo

And my immediate response is ugh.

Bezos and Amazon aren't susceptible to boycotts, this makes them dangerous in my book.

8. Newspapers have been sliding into megacorporate hands for decades.

The rules for corporate ownership of media, which were once quite strict, were done away with a long time ago. We have the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to blame for a lot of this. President Clinton cut his own throat by signing that piece of shit into law.

5. Jeff Bezos is richer than Spanky.

That can't have gone over well.

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Yeah, By About 2 Orders Of Magnitude

Or at least close. I'm putting my trust in the financial experts who have downgraded the LLC and property values "it" holds and increased what they believe to be overall leverage.

This means that "it" has a net worth of around a quarter of what was advertised. Bezos is nearly 12 digits.

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. I saw on CNN that Bezos is # 1 in terms of world wealth.

Spanky is down to # 776.

[ProfessorGAC]

12. Add a 1 At The Beginning Of That Number. . .

. . .and i think we're getting warmer.

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. A blowhard all the way!

Bezos has something that Spanky doesn't have and lusts after.

[ProfessorGAC]

14. And Didn't Start Out on Third Base Either

Or actually half way between 3rd and home.

Interesting note on the 776: I looked a few things up and found that over 600 people on that list started as middle class or lower. And of the inherited wealth folks, hardly any of them have a # of years adjusted growth rate as low as the idiot.

So, basically nearly everyone ahead of "it" on that list is better at wealth creation.

6. Well look at all the stars they got

Amazon shoppers all gave Ivanka's products fake 5-star reviews.
Cheeto should love that.

These are probably the same trolls who gave Hillary's book a 1-star rating before it even came out.

10. The cats have stolen the grey plush blanket for their own

And the price for the star patterned blanket isn'y that high...😲 hmmm
