    • Amazon is projecting a $789 million windfall from Republicans’ tax bill...must be nice.utopian
    • I can't wait for trickle down economics to hit me hard and work its magic.utopian
    • @utopian don't be so jealous and bitter. What/who's stopping you to do what Bezos did/does?chukkaphob
    • ^ they probably would! With their level of power/influence they would shut out any competition. It's a rigged system, designed to limitmugwart
    • in america you can not sell anything online without fringing on amazons software patents... you get big enough, and you're fighting amazon to exist.kingsteven
    • bezos is a con man. amazon are valued/traded as a technology company but it's net income from retail is ZERO....kingsteven
    • i'd say if you do anything newsworthy with technology these days and it doesn't explicitly inhibit amazon or facebook you are adding to their value.kingsteven
    • 92% of amazons valuation is due to profits expected after 2020 when it's expected to be 3 times it's current size. One major AWS hack and we're all fucked.kingsteven
    • I just boycott Amazon entirely. I occasionally have to shop at Whole Foods, but only in dire emergenciesmugwart
    • Fuck Amazon. They're shipping times are purposely inflated now, and they do not have the deals the once had...section_014
    • (shit, *their).section_014
    • lol @ trying to boycott amazon. Good luck surfing without AWS thenmekk
    • Amazon's 1click patent expires in September I believe. So hopefully leads to more innovation.Centigrade
    • Last september, I think.detritus
    • Thanks @section
      @mekk We can all do what we can. I'm not actively paying Amazon for that service.

    • The one-click patent expired already, September 2017.ETM
    • Yet another dumb fucking assertion from chucky. Stick to post nudes in the chick and asses threads.utopian
    • @utopian you know waaaay too much about those (favorite of your) threads. LOL!chukkaphob
    • ...and no, no assertion. It's a fact you're always bitter, negative, jealous and grumpy on here. Lighten up, dude!chukkaphob
    • Doesn't apple have one click buy? Maybe slightly different.pango
    • Utopian's not bitter or jealous and no more negative or grumpy than any other old jaded cunt on here. And if he is, he's earned his right.detritus
    • @det... well said.fadein11
