Do I agree with Amazon and Walmart on this? No. But I understand it. It’s capitolism 101. If it’s bad for business, get rid of it. People need to understand that Amazon and Walmart couldn’t care less about anyone’s “feelings” on the matter, they only care about whats best for business.

They will always ban and remove items offensive to sensitive emotional crybaby lefty nuts jobs because they are trouble making children. Mature Conservatives that believe in freedom and free market choices are not going to throw a fit (in great numbers) and demand businesses do and don't do whatever. I don't like allot of items Walmart sells but I can be a big boy and deal with it. Business know the majority of conservative mainstream America will be a big boy about it. We do not force a business to BAKE THAT CAKE!

Problem is, it wasn't. I've seen reports that sales of these types of items increased 4,000% before Amazon banned them. Not sure how true it is. Amazon stays neutral, they lose some business. Amazon picks a side, they lose more, regardless of the side chosen. Michael Jordan knew better than that.

Well.... a massive *surge* in sales (as reported) isn't BAD for business, anywhere but bizarro-world. This is a *politically manufactured* problem with certain politically-acceptable responses available to these retailers and manufacturers - sales and profits be damned. Nothing could be further from the basics of capitalism.
