Fox Business ^ | 10/11/19 | Amazon

Posted on 10/12/2019 2:59:09 PM PDT by Boomer

Amazon took the extraordinary step of laying out its positions on nearly every hot-button topic in the world in a web page that unveiled Thursday, bringing new clarity to the tech company’s public policy agenda.

The page, which is simply titled “Our Positions,” states where the Seattle tech giant stands on eleven issues -- several of which have a direct impact on business in America.

Amazon should have only one position: To be the best at its business of selling and delivering consumer products. That’s it.

Amazon claims human-induced climate change. Amazon is made up of liars, since they can’t really be that stupid.

They are insane.

“Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors. “

Short version:

Amazon loves your money, hates you.

As they build up a massive fleet of delivery vehicles and aircraft.

Someone posted this at the end of the article. It is not my original thought, but it is well worth re-posting here:

“Bezos and Amazon pull this nonsense about minimum wage not because they care but because they know it will help them dominate. They benefit from automation and repetitious tasks such that brick and mortar stores can’t due to high labor costs. So if they have a minimum wage of $15/hour and pressure everyone else to do the same, they know their competitions margins get so small such that they simply cannot compete. Their objective is to be the only game in town, this includes squeezing out small businesses first and foremost.”

I witnessed yesterday one of Amazon’s van driver nearly cause a wreck on an interstate.

“The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected. “
“We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform”

They left out the Christians.

We don’t have the “home delivery” vans yet where I live, but every day I see at least a dozen flatbed trucks each with three of these vans loaded on them.

And still more of the Amazon Prime big rigs.

Amazon needs to stop using heating and air conditioning in all of its buildings are warehouses—now!

No corporate planes or cars—now!

Plus—Bezos needs to demolish all his houses and live on the street from a grocery cart—now!

Otherwise—they are insane hypocrites.

Amazon is a monster and only getting bigger. In another decade or so they will have completely remade the retail sector.

A business like Amazon has no business trying to dictate science.

I t should be against the law for companies to endorse political and moral issues. If Jeff Bezos wants to fine but companies endorsing political issues should be counted as political contributions.
