People buy things they don’t need in a healthy economy, even when they’re not doing great. In an unhealthy one they do things like boil socks for supper. (Yes the book is taking about a real thing)
Good luck, Scamazon. You’re unlikely to survive a real depression so it’s pretty braindead that you’d encourage it.
Jeff bezos needs to see the bottom of a basket.
The man built his wealth abusing public services while not paying his taxes.
He is one of the greatest thieves in history.
Typical hedge fund manager behavior though. Does Amazon sell big enough baskets I wonder?
I use Amazon like a search engine - find a few options for a product I’m looking for, go to the websites for options that look good, narrow it down to the one I want to actually buy, then order it directly from the manufacturer.
Fuck actually buying anything from Amazon.

expect profits to tank then bitch
everyone loves the CONVENIENCE of Amazon, not the company itself. do more for the people you are destroying.

higher prices lead to lower sales volume. yea, that’s normally how it works. but amazon’s cut is based on price. if prices go up, so does what they
earnsteal from each marketplace sale–they’ll make more from less business.kiwii4k@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
wouldn’t that only mean the percentage they skim is higher, not the total gross if people are spending significantly less?
