BS. Bezos or anyone else probably doesn't report the true amounts they contribute. Overall, Bezos has helped to employ tens of thousands of Amercians.

Overall, Bezos has helped to employ tens of thousands of Amercians.

And unemploy hundreds of thousands of others.

His online sales company has put thousands of brick and mortar local stores out of business. Those stores employed real people.

His offer of “Free Shipping” is a scam that cost real delivery people real money. Nothing is free.

But what choice do these people have they can’t compete with the behemoth that is Amazon. I won’t buy from them. If it cost me more so be it. I’ll pay it.

I’d rather hold a real book anyway and buy it from a local book store.

I know I will most like likely lose in the end because you can’t fight progress and people are in the end lazy and will take the path of least resistance but I will not surrender my principles easily.
