But who will fund it? Amazon spent 43 billion developing their site, and they didn’t make a profit for the first 6 or seven years.

Buy there all you want, but unless the founders are willing to plow billions in, and spend years funding losses it won’t survive.

Amazon’s money maker is huge Fed Gov and Fed agencies data contracts. That made the company possible.

RE: Buy there all you want, but unless the founders are willing to plow billions in, and spend years funding losses it won’t survive.

So what? If I get my product and the price is right, what’s the loss for me? The gain is I support a company that supports my values.

Let’s say worse comes to worst, it eventually fails, so be it, not monetary lose for me but a sense of regret ( which I can cope ). Better to have tried than not at all.

We keep complaining about our production and manufacturing going to other countries and woke companies that hate America making too much money to spend more money insulting our beliefs.... well, here’s one group of businessmen willing to try. Why not support them? What’s the lose to you personally ?

I bet millions of others who think like me will do the same.

Now unlike your first post that is a reasonable observation. The at-home market is so absurdly yuge now, if they pick their shots, and really cater to conservative tastes, and avoid a 2024 recession, they could string along a while.

Meanwhile where is their poison pill from simply being snatched up by Bezos?
