You’re train of thought is the reason 420 children are getting blown up indiscriminately everyday. I don’t know how your conscious let’s you justify murdering hundreds of children everyday just to “fight Hamas” but you are the problem my friend.

I don’t think it’s about having Israel under their thumb, but more likely it’s their donors. I know it’s not politically correct to talk about rich Jews, but there really are so many rich Jews who make it their lifes mission to influence a pro Israel US policy, and at the end of the day it’s money that moves the capitalist US political system on both sides of the party.

I’m just dumbfounded on why half of America is completely fine or encouraging a whole complete genocide of Palestinians

What monopolistic and dirty practices are you referring to exactly?

I really don’t like Joe but he seems to be the lesser of two evils in the upcoming election.

Shopify accounts for 1/3 of all e-commerce sales in the US in 2023, and with the rise of way cheaper Chinese alternatives to amazon like shien, Temu, & Alibaba express no one really has a monopolistic control in the e-commerce space.

So we should just make almost 2 million Americans unemployed because some execs shredded some papers. I don’t know if you know anything about retail work, but they pay less than Amazon does, very few actually pay over $15 an hour, Walmart starts you out at $12 an hour.

It wasn’t necessarily Amazon that killed of the competition, it’s the tech behind Amazon (e-commerce) that killed retail stores. Just like UBER demolished the taxi industry, just like cars replaced horse carriages, and just like AI’s about to make knowledge workers completely obsolete. Amazon still has a great deal of competition from Walmart, Target, and lots of retailers.

No one’s forced to work at Amazon. For unskilled uneducated Americans $16 an hour is higher than what you can make in retail or fast food, which are some of the only options left especially for Americans in the rust belt. It’s not monopolies that killed jobs that used to provide livable wages like manufacturing it’s globalization. I’m not mad at your ignorance because I didn’t realize how bad parts of America were until I moved to the rust belt. If you want to blame anyone for the lack of quality employment for undeducated Americans blame the politicians and greedy companies that let high paying jobs go overseas to China and Mexico.
