Bezos creates a boiler room. Bezos, to me, is the most Machiavellian man alive and the arms race he started is being emulated by the likes of Jack Ma. This will not lead to happier people. Spying, advertising, fake and low quality products and constant consumption and consumerism is the goal of scamazon. I do like whole foods, a bit expensive, I use co-ops when possible to source food, but Amazon will make sure to gut headcount and compromise on quality anywhere possible to make an extra penny. Bezos farms all this money simply to be the richest and to play with rockets in space while we all suffer from shrinking middle class, lower education standards for most, cancer and an energy crunch. Bezos is dangerously smart, possibly the smartest business man alive or ever, but he is just not a good man. Every one of his successes requires the original to be sacrificed at their hands. using their infrastructure - aws - guarantees that if you are successful there Bezos will steal your model and compete with you.

I knew whole foods was falling at the hands of Costco, organic for cheaper, but whole foods had great variety and did try harder than all the other big-chain food stores.

Every scamazon victory feels like a loss of the world.

Time to bust this trust. Time for regulators to start breaking scamazon up.
