    You can get a lot of classic or unknown books for free too. It's a funny one. I might have to do a Walrus and buy some shares.

    Well I am. I was going to buy a PS4 headset for the kids but will spend the little extra and buy at the local high street and enjoy the experience of getting it the old fashioned way.

    Everyone is avoiding tax. I order chicken and it is cheaper if you pay cash. From top to bottom everyone is at it. Maybe we should do away with tax like in the olden days. It would get rid of government workers who get into it wanting security and it would mean people are free to do with their money as they please. I don't mind Amazon and pay cash for my chicken. I like the pirates too who didn't bother giving to the monarchy.

    Amazon is over 1,800 a share. It has been smoking hot this year. They are getting into pharmacy, healthcare, groceries and who knows what else. It’s a good stock. I beleive a big part of amazon profits are selling cloud storage. Amazing company

    Can't get a lot of the books I want from shops, Amazon gives me access to the more obscure books that's ain't usually stocked

    Amazon seems to get a lot of stick similar to what Wal mart got when they began putting one on every block and threating small local shops. I didn't realize even Wally World was doing free shipping and all online ordering. I have a neighbor with one just a mile away but she stays online, calls ahead for p/u and just waits in the car as they pile in the bags. Now that's just sad.

    these huge stores like Amazon and Google and apple and all this nonsense are destroying the mom and pop shops. They are destroying the culture. They are taking over everything.

    Big box stores are nothing new. I remember complaining how Home depot and Lowes took out Sears. Best Buy tko Radio Shack. Nothing sadder than watching Toys R us close their doors but you can argue this keyboard we're all tapping on helped destroy mom and pop shops too. Man you can buy a car online ffs.

    A lot of those companies didn’t see the writing on the wall. Sears had a good base built with the sears catoluge which shipped out anything. Radio shack was well positioned to spruce up and update their stores. Amazon grew a lot of independent places and the cardboard industry did very well. A lot of business to trucking companies and so on. I do think they could be subject to
    Anti-trust laws and it could become an issue someday. Two out of every five dollars spent online goes to amazon. Say what you well, it is amazing what Jeff Bezos did. He started by selling books. He is also the son of a Cuban immigrant, bright guy. In addition. I’m sure he gives a shitload of money to all the senators for protection, our government is like the mafia

    They brought me 4-litres of milk which will be past the use-by-date on Wednesday with my weekly shopping this morning. Not happy. Definitely boycott until tomorrow
