Most of the males working in bookstores appear to be homosexual.

They are getting undercut by Wal-Mart though, Thriftbooks too (though nobody seems to have heard of them).

“Former Presidential Fart-catcher Jay Carney handed cushy no-work job solely for tax purposes...”

His double degrees in “Lies and Whoppers You Can Believe In” and “Obama Butt Licking For Fun and Profit” qualify him for a position as senior vice president for Worldwide Corporate Affairs.

It’s what they are all aiming for.

When I was a kid those people were the creepy pervs in vans that drove around playgrounds. Now they are writing books for kids. Tomorrow they will be fighting for their “right” to marry them.

the whole family’s screwed up...the wife’s wearing guy pajamas... my money says Carney is just off camera in a mumu.

This photo is not posed.

They always put that much food out for a four person brunch.

It actually was some sort of a fashion marketing thing using this progressive family as normal Americans....ha! Fat chance of that. Commies, socialists, liars and what I’d call a gay son...(I say that because it would piss his father off.)

Amazon would be an extremely profitable company today but it is putting most of its revenues into expansion.

The company’s primary assets are its technology platform (and related intellectual property ownership) and its distribution system.

The financial numbers being reported do not accurately reflect what’s going on with the company.

Many businesses are paying Amazon to license its software, to use its ecommerce platform, and for Amazon to handle fulfillment. Books are just a small piece of the puzzle these days except in public perception of the company based on its origins.

Books (including eBooks) are about as relevant to Amazon’s long term plans as the telegraph currently is for AT&T. Books are merely an instrument to get people shopping at Amazon for much more expensive items.

Note that Amazon’s tech is also licensed on the back-end for major ecommerce sites. If Internet sales taxes are required to be collected and remitted to state and local governments, Amazon has already put into a place a system for website owners (for a fee of course) to use Amazon to handle that.

Ebay/Paypal were ubiquitous at one point.

I’M WITH YOU!! I’ve had a $2500 item in my shopping cart with Amazon for over a week and was seriously thinking about finalizing the deal today when I heard this. I’m SO glad I waited! Already deleted it from my cart and plan on deleting all my info later today when I get home.
Searching now for an Amazon replacement for shopping online.

Who would ever hire a known bullshi**er for a senion VP role in a corporation? He’ll lie openly to your face.

He's being hired to lie to other people's faces.

(OK, he's actually be hired to keep his FedGov buddies from riding Jeff Bezos's a**. Welcome to crony capitalism.)

It also means he'll be fired in a heartbeat if he doesn't deliver.

Dream on. He's not being hired to do any real work, and if he does, even successfully, it's an added bonus.

If he does leave, I'm sure he'll be paid what's ever remaining on his agreed upon bri...er, "contract".

If you boycott every business that is gay friendly/contributes to Democrats/employs regime affiliates you best plan on becoming Amish.

Boycott is a nasty official word. I like being choosy who I let profit from my purchases.

I’m not advocating for Amazon.
But finding a national business that meets FR standards of purity is effectively impossible.
