We’ve made up for you and then some. We’ve been customers for 25 years or so.

I buy from eBay. They may be libs but I like goods that could be hot. And stop with the Amazon shaming. It is hurtful.

And one of his yachts was tied to a dock at Bucksport, Maine this past Tuesday. I saw it and it was nothing special-he must have a bigger one somewhere else.

Bezos - destroyer of jobs, enabler of China, proponent of the sweatshop culture.

Conceited little prick.

OTOH, that’s about (for 4 jets and the yacht) $950,000,000 in salaries, etc.. for thousands of working stiffs...

Good for him...
One or two volcano eruptions trump this communist, stupid, carbon footprint crap...

"The billionaire Amazon founder last month purchased a Gulfstream G700, luxury business jet manufactured by Gulfstream Aerospace that’s considered one of the largest and most advanced private jets in the world,"

The G700 is one of the Gulfstream's biofuel jets. May be flex fuel.

What cave have you been living in? It is the right (and the duty) of the members of the Supreme Soviet to lecture the proletariat not to do he things they themselves freely engage in.

DW and I have bought plenty. What about Amazon is not to like?

We retired into a lower cost of living rural area . A world-wide selection of goods at fair prices makes rural life easy. And I do not have to be worried about paying inflated prices due to shoplifting.

Good for you.

However, when you live far from an area where products are plentiful, or even exist, Amazon is a wonderful service. We joined back when they pretty much only sold books.

264 tonnes is pretty easy to pay someone to pull that much CO2 from the air or ocean. A number of companies are doing so commercially and selling carbon emissions credits in the EU market for it. $600 per tonne is the most expensive number thrown around. Even at $600 that’s only $158,400 to be totally carbon neutral that’s pocket change too a billionaire. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bezo already pays for carbon credits.

This company has the cost down to $20 a tonne and they make fuel with it so it’s a circular process.

https://www.sorafuel.com/

This group is using ocean capture for 15 to 35 euro per tonne and there is unlimited amounts in the oceans 150 times more than air per cubic meter.

Industrial co2 is $60 per tonne wholesale so either one of the above just cornered the market on industrial co2 as well.

Rich people will always be able to afford any carbon price that’s just how it is. Kings used to buy indulgences from the pope why would modern elites be any different.

LOL. You are acting like CO2 is a pollutant and man-made climate change is real when IT IS ALL A HOAX. These companies pulling CO2 from the air are high tech medieval witches.

Powwe and co2 rather elegant. The cold water coming off the output is also loaded with nutrients perfect for growing ocean crops in like kelp or sea grass. Ferment either to ethanol or methane, use the lipids(oils) for biodiesel and feed the protein to cattle ,chickens or pigs. Otec also creates huge amounts of fresh water as a byproduct kinda useful when on a desert island in the middle of the ocean like some of the Hawaiian Islands.

I never said it was a pollutant but the world powers have and decided it is something to be regulated, they have the very real power to enforce that so your and my opinion are just that opinions.

Amazon is a Chinese store front. Or dont you know that?

"The SNAP numbers are the latest in a series of revelations surrounding working conditions inside Amazon’s warehouse facilities. On Thursday, The Intercept noted that, in addition to being a top SNAP recipient, Amazon’s median employee pay was only $28,446 — 9 percent less than the industry average and well below the U.S. living wage."

A large number of Amazon workers rely on food stamps for assistance
