| Who was responsible for the decision to not offer help with vaccinations under Trump? I had always defended Amazon, until that moment, when they declared they would let people die for their ideology. Now I am trying to purge Amazon from my life, and it is hard. Much more difficult than Google. I had even started to use their grocery deliveries during Covid lockdowns. Maybe if it was Jeff's doing, and he is gone, I could justify continuing to buy from Amazon. But I guess not. Interesting that many say AWS is the actual business of Amazon, and they may get rid of the rest. It seems to me AWS would be the easiest to replace, after all, there are lots of cloud standards. Can't you just take your Docker images and publish them somewhere else? It seems much more difficult to me to replace the aggregation and efficient logistics. In fact I don't see any competition. Now that they want to see me dead, I want to see Amazon dead, but I have little hopes for it. Their achilles heel might be trust - online reviews are almost completely broken now, and complaints about fake products are rising. Their answer to the latter seems to be to steal successful products and sell them as "Amazon Basics", but that is evil and also won't work for having "everything". Another issue could be people returning their stuff or even damaged goods. I see a surprising number of people who have no ethical qualms about returning things they already used or that are broken. Maybe the future will be to buy directly from producers? That seems to be the only way to avoid the fake products? So someone should come up with ways to make it easy for producers to sell their products online, or at least provide a chain of trust. |
Trump was responsible for that decision, that’s who.
