I haven't heard from Doctor Zero in a long time - he used to appear on Rusty Humphries' radio show. I hope they're both all right these days.

Casual reminder that over half of all states have Loyalty Laws to Israel, meaning you are not allowed to boycott anything regarding the people who have been kicked out of 109 countries and who make up 99% of the Biden administration, just like how they made up 90% of the Soviet Union's government positions and 100% of the foreigners who helped Mao take over in China.

What’s you’re point?

Maybe the people who've been kicked out of 109 countries and follow a law code that says non-Jews are equivalent to cattle shouldn't have sway over the American government or media. Maybe Metzitzah B'peh is grounds to skin some fucker alive for molesting a child and not a 'controversial religious practice'.

If you really want to read said books, go to your local public library and ask for them to order it.

Ummm, those are just examples of a private company not wanting to associate itself with certain books. Doesn't have anything to do with the government banning said books.

Allowing private businesses to decide what products to supply is a slippery slope?

I don't think you would expect a smaller privately owned bookshop to stock a book on Queer Trans Feminist Theory if they didnt want to.

If I was in the book business I would supply my customers with any book they wanted to read no questions asked. Hell, if one were so inclined, one could build a based business model around just that. Patriot Book Company. If you want to read it, we’ll find it and send it to you, for a fee. Free shipping!

*excepting the obvious like child porn

But there is a difference between starting a book store that delivers any book you want and forcing every private bookstore to sell all books.

They key is you want to supply every book I dont imagine a evangelist bookshop would like having to sell "How to raise a child as a Homosexual couple"

Publicly traded companies are not private businesses. Especially when they hold monopoly power.

Publishers won't publish books that can't be sold on Amazon. Amazon controls the market.

It seems like this private company has more power over this specific market than the federal government does.

Gonna need a source that no company will publish a book that cant be sold on Amazon.

Also there is a thing called self publishing.

Anyway this is besides the point, the government has no part in the Actions of Amazon. So the idea that its somehow illegal to read certain books is just wrong.
