Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products

  Your point is valid and definitely a concern.

  But how are people so basic.

  You hate Amazon, but just have to have your caramel syrup? Doesn’t really sound like hate.

  Sounds more like you do not want to have to make sacrifices to the things you like.

  Wonder why bad things continue to happen.

  I use Amazon too. Not trying to be too judgy, but come on. Accept some personal responsibility for your actions.

      Oh gosh. Great 6 paragraph essay countering made up points I wasn’t making.

      Choosing Amazon for a dr recommended medicine is definitely the same as choosing it for your coffee flavoring.

      Nevermind the part where I said I also use Amazon.

      My point is unless you are under duress, you are responsible for your actions.

    $1000 says you’re, at best, a college kid. Probably a teenager.

    Why? People with actual life experience in this shitty system don’t make the personal responsibility argument because they’ve lived enough to know that’s bullshit.

      Lol, I’ll take my $1000.

      Sorry that you lack logical thinking. Enjoy your coffee.

    I would like a thing. All retail commerce has been monopolized by a handful of big box storefronts. One of those storefronts sucks marginally less than the others, such that I can actually find what I want to buy and expect it to be delivered in a timely fashion.

    But I shouldn’t shop there because… ???

    Wonder why bad things continue to happen.

    Damn, so true. We should never have quit shopping at Target Walmart Sears Wollworths. Now we live in Capitalist Hell and its all our own fault.
