"I didn’t write the loopholes you exploit, @amazon – your armies of lawyers and lobbyists did. But you bet I’ll fight to make you pay your fair share. And fight your union-busting. And fight to break up Big Tech so you’re not powerful enough to heckle senators with snotty tweets."

How about we break up the senate, Lizzy?
NOT A SURPRISE THE COMMIE WOULD MAKE THREATS... THAT'S WHAT THEY DO...
Dis 'elites' and they'll take you down. Our cities were burning for months too and 'elites' didn't give a damn - but break ONE window and damage ONE door and they call up the National Guard - for months.
Hey Liz - you jumped the gun - commies won't do the formal take over until fall... You gotta wait a few months to throw your weight around.
Only republican presidents, right Liawatha?
Ma Sqauw drinkum big fire water and go on warpath.
I support her in this endeavour.
Always on the warpath making idle threats what else is new?
Because they are using that power to undermine the people of the United States.
They are like China, selling us cheap crap with the intent of using those profits to destroy us.
If Amazon would just stick to doing their job, that would be one thing, but they clearly will not simply stick to doing their job, and are now trying to use their power to manipulate and social engineer the American people.
You forget that Amazon is a collection of Mom and Pop stores who sell under the Amazon umbrella. Amazon is a distributor.
What is Amazon’s job?
I thought it was to provide goods and services to the market. Are they not doing that? If they sell us cheap crap, whose fault is that...the buyer’s or the seller’s? If they sell up cheap crap, why do you keep buying it?
Agree. In fact, I do my best NOT to buy from “woke” businesses simply because I think much of it is a load of crap. BLM, Antifa, and White Supremacy...isn’t it strange that all this crap appeared just as the Democrats realized Trump was eroding the their lock on the black vote.
Yeah, I've figured out it's all about you imposing your opinions on everyone else.
Bon chance.
And members of the Labor Unions are individuals with families to feed and who just want to live their lives in peace, but collectively, and with their Union steering them into supporting left wing politics, they are dangerous to the well being of the nation.
Amazon has become a political entity. If it would just stick with business and mind it's own business, it wouldn't be a problem, but it doesn't, and it won't.
I am reminded of what Reagan said:
"The problem with our liberal opponents is not that they are ignorant... It's that they know so much which isn't so."
And once again, my position is that nobody should be imposing their opinions on anyone else, least of all communications companies that require public usage to make their business operate.
Every business has become a political entity. I don’t know which union(s??) are present at Amazon, but I seriously doubt they were invited to unionize the workers my management. I don’t know if unions are left wing or not, but when it comes to economics, they often choose the wrong path.
That’s true, but Trump did win some union voters. Indeed, the UAW applauded Trump move to cut corporate taxes in an effort to bring jobs back home. Other unions did the same.
No sale.
Like it or not these "communications companies" are private entities entitled to constitutional protections, including the right to decide what messages they want to publish on their private property.
You want to destroy them because you don't agree with their politics, which is certainly your right and I'd probably support you in much of that.
The problem comes when you want to use the power of the government to defeat your political enemy by trampling their rights.
Don't care. They are a threat, and they need to be destroyed by any means possible. And you cannot call it their private property when the entire business model relies on public participation. If they want to operate without access to the public, i'm okay with that, but they won't make much money if they can't get access to the public.
So long as they keep doing their illegal censoring, they need to be denied access to the public.
The problem comes when you want to use the power of the government to defeat your political enemy by trampling their rights.
Nobody has a right to censor the public. Anyone who tries needs to be smashed with a nuclear sledgehammer.
she'd break up Big Tech so that it can't 'heckle senators with snotty tweets'
By heckling, she means, Republicans are still okay as targets, particularly after their accounts have been suspended by the fellow travs and stooges at the Big Tech companies.
