Duh! Of course the ACLU will immediately take this egregious offense to court.
Amazon will hear from the ACLU -- post-haste -- and the ACLU will defend Amazon's right to ban whatever non-progressive/non-commie books they choose, because that's what the ACLU do.
Holy shit save this. Literal evidence of big tech sponsoring terrorism. They need to be accountable for everything that gets posted on their platform, they cannot be allowed to only "regulate" partially.
Yep, I do. I can disagree with people and it doesn’t ruin my life or upset me or anything like that. I can also agree to a point with his take on weed. Though I do think he gets caught up equating correlation with causation.
Tesla doesn't get special subsidies or even directly subsidized any more than any other company. The gov giving me up to $7500 back of money that they stole from me because I bought ANY electric car is not a tesla subsidy ffs. Stop paraphrasing the LATimes.
SpaceX shouldn't get government contracts. Neither should any MIC companies. Quasi-public companies are grossly unjust. I say this as a HUGE SpaceX fan.
Yes and unless we want the government to have its own construction companies they have to contract that work out. Granted the government is horribly corrupt and inept when dealing with these contracts.
Businesses are better at being profitable businesses than governments. If the gov doesn’t like what spaceX is cookin then they can move on? I don’t get what’s not to like?
Are you advocating the government stop doing things like NASA altogether? Or are you advocating for complete government control of their own production line?
Neither of those are good options.
No bid contracts are bs, and subsidizing companies that can't keep themselves afloat so the government can get a non-competitive deal are wrong, but I fail to see the benefit of outlawing all government contracting.
I'm saying complete public control of the production line for defense related goods and services. The military is a public institution. We should not tax people to pay private, for-profit MIC companies. It should be publicly made. NASA should only exist to help develop technology to further protect our rights.
One of the main benefits to outlawing government contracting is that it would move us closer to people only being forced to pay for goods and services that they individually directly consumed. Freedom.
"In 2018, Amazon's share of the US ecommerce market hit 49%. That's 5% of all retail spent across the entire country. To put things in perspective, this is more than Amazon's top three competitors combined, with eBay coming in at 6.6%, Apple at 3.9% and Walmart at 3.7%."
I think Amazon basically skews the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index.
He could still be bad considering what he named his son, but red pills tend to work as long as they keep taking them. Still, would have been gangster as fuck had he pulled out a pistol and shot the side of the cybertruck in front of the press.
It is reaching a point where breaking up tech companies is going to really be the only solution.
They're going to at least have to be broken in two and they're going to have to be broken up politically, left wing and right wing.
A second layer of separation requires them to be broken up internally, including their services, to operate internationally. At what level they would be sub-divided depends on the country they're operating in.
Traditionally it would be poppycock. Normally companies have better sense than to be political. If you're in the business of selling beans then you stick to the business of selling beans.
When it becomes a problem then it makes absolute perfect sense. It's the right solution for the problem. It didn't make sense before because it wasn't normal for companies to be political let alone ultra political.
If companies are going to start being political then you need legislation for that. We'll also need to add political party affiliation to the quality act or title 14.
It is reaching a point where breaking up tech companies is going to really be the only solution.
I'd say it's reaching a point where breaking up tech companies in going to be impossible. They control too much, they will be untouchable in a short period of time.
I just placed my last order with Amazon yesterday. I don't live in the continental 48 states, so the Amazon Prime free shipping has been a boon we have been very thankful for, but i've been planning to unplug for a while now. Today is that day. I cancelled netflix for the whole extended family, deleted facebook (and convinced most of my family to do the same), never using a Gillette blade again (after only using Gillette for my whole life), and continue to ween myself off of other P&G Products. Love seeing Elon fight the good fight (fighting the REAL fascists)! Elon's tweet of "The trampoline is working!" TOP KEK!
Maybe a company that dominates online retail, is the defacto bookstore of America, has sizable stakes in tv, music, fucking groceries, fucking pharmaceuticals, and oh yeah, provides the backend for a majority of the world's websites... might get a little spooked if ppl start saying "anti trust"
Trumps biggest mistake was to appoint Jeff Sessions as AG. That good for nothing #@$#$ has inflicted more damage on Trump than all the democrats and MSM combined.
Amazon's so damn overrated.. I hate it. They charge you 13 bucks a month for Prime just to get you're packages sent to you on time; without it you have to pay at least 6 bucks to ship crap. No excuse for that.. I'd rather stick with Ebay and get stuff in 3-5 days. If they offered 6 a month for the shipping it would be so much better.
Also how they treat their employees is crap too; South Park nailed that.
All Amazon is, is a middleman. Stop giving them your money, but if you have to go there, only use them as a search engine. Find your product, then search for the item through the brand directly, or - literally anywhere else.
Trust me as a random guy on the internet, that you shouldn't be so worried. When we have AI that can actually distinguish between a cat and a dog without google-sized databases to work off of, then ill be scared of plugging AI into my brain. But if i could think the word im typing here into my phone instead of messing up every 3rd letter with my sausage fingers, sign me up
Just make it so these companies can be sued for censoring. The biggest platforms should have the least freedom for this kind of thing.
What would happen? The media will run stories about how amazon can't censor books they don't like? It's not even a story when the company can't even do a thing about it. They can't have their stockholders value hurt by negative press when it would just be hot air like that
I'd keep myself guarded against him. Sounds like just inside theirpl4ybook to pullso far left, they'd make any cr0ny type look moderate. Don't distrust, either, but certainly don't be too complacent.
Ppl should not forget Amazon IS BIG TECH. AWS hosts so much of the web you and I use every day, it would blow your mind. This site is probably on AWS - no disrespect to the mods if thats not true, but only a few services can handle the Trump Train.
For the 100th time, that was a mass simulator to test a prototype rocket. There is inherent risk launching a new rocket for the first time so the payload is typically nothing more than a concrete block. Elon decided it would be more inspiring to launch his personal car so he did.
If you want to know what ANTIFA supports just pick up a copy of the communist manifesto by Marx.
Or..,Just go to their website and look at their literal e-how on how to escape prosecution, Riot, etc..
https://www.sproutdistro.com/about/
It’s a treasure trove of lunacy.
Doesn't Al Qaeda do the same thing?
Glad they've been labelled what they are.
Just spent an hour on that site and most of it saying WTF, no way they could that, you have got to be kidding, is this real. Wow, what an eye opener.
Same tactics are fair game at this point.
Honestly everyone should read it. Knowledge is power in all things.
And the "husbands" are all little Salacious Crumb types. Scrawny as hell.
Nah, too much work. Drive a crane into a BestBuy, you’ll already be half way there, and doing more than most for ‘the cause’.
That waa a big let down to be honest. Was expecting a lot more.
The antifa handbook is just a book with dildo pics.
Mostly butt-plugs, so l heard.
Where at?
Hide it in a copy of Cat Fancy magazine or something so the clerk doesn't think you're a total loser.
Duh! Of course the ACLU will immediately take this egregious offense to court.
Amazon will hear from the ACLU -- post-haste -- and the ACLU will defend Amazon's right to ban whatever non-progressive/non-commie books they choose, because that's what the ACLU do.
Fuck the ACLU!
Holy shit save this. Literal evidence of big tech sponsoring terrorism. They need to be accountable for everything that gets posted on their platform, they cannot be allowed to only "regulate" partially.
Farrakhan's evil crap?
Always read what those you disagree with have to say on the matter. The better to know how to counter their arguments.
My nigga 🤜🤛
I can say that because he's African-American
But also because I'm American and will say whatever the fuck I want, thank you

LMFAO I wish Ancestry DNA did that to me.
Yeah but when you never bettered yourself past being a burger flipper, if you even did that, words might be all you have!
I am a proud burger flipper!
In my backyard.
Of the house I own.
On my kamado grill.
For my family and wife and kids.
BURGER FLIPS MATTER!!
BURGER FLIPS MATTER!!
BURGER FLIPS MATTER!!
HANDS UP LET THE GRILL SMOKE!
Elon seems too intelligent to be backing Jack. Holy shit.
Guess we can't have everything, lol.
Well he still thinks Jack is trying his best to decentralize social media via project Bluesky, which Jack claims he is but its a bunch of bullshit
Maybe he's just ignorant about the censorship on Twitter.
Elon is competing with Blue Origins which is a pet project of Jeff Bezos so could be personal animosity towards him and his other companies.
Im glad someone said it
Easy and lame shot.
if Blue origin were actually doing shit, they might be competition, so far they have exsisted longer than SpaceX and done squat.
Covid research
Alex Berenson Twitter
Read through more of the guys tweets. He’s had a good take on the china flu since the beginning.
Marijuana can cause Psychosis and violence. People with mental illness or a history of mental illness should not be taking Marijuana.
Marijuana also affects your brain growing up. People younger than 21 should not take marijuana.
Yep, I do. I can disagree with people and it doesn’t ruin my life or upset me or anything like that. I can also agree to a point with his take on weed. Though I do think he gets caught up equating correlation with causation.
Did you just assume that everyone here is a pothead?
Elon Musk is right, Amazon should be broken up, they certainly have monopolistic market share.
It's also time to stop subsidizing Elon Musk's companies.
Tesla doesn't get special subsidies or even directly subsidized any more than any other company. The gov giving me up to $7500 back of money that they stole from me because I bought ANY electric car is not a tesla subsidy ffs. Stop paraphrasing the LATimes.
Tesla don't get any real subsidies
CBA to write a book to explain it, but the info is out there.
they are the only EV manufactuer NOT to get the fedral subsidy at the moment.
SpaceX shouldn't get government contracts. Neither should any MIC companies. Quasi-public companies are grossly unjust. I say this as a HUGE SpaceX fan.
I guess we'll just pay russia to send up our astronauts like the last 10 years...
Yes. No one.
I guess we don't need fucking roads anymore.
lmao there were roads and turnpikes privately built before Eisenhower since merchants saw the justified costs in reaching larger markets
Yes and unless we want the government to have its own construction companies they have to contract that work out. Granted the government is horribly corrupt and inept when dealing with these contracts.
Put a post office on the moon and then we're done.
EDIT Come to think of it, he is delivering mail and product to US citizens in the space station.
Privatize and regulate them just like we already do with other natural monopolies. Newsflash: Roads existed before they were publically funded.
Oh so you suggest to just go back to dirt roads... good to know you're just a troll. I'll block you know.
Businesses are better at being profitable businesses than governments. If the gov doesn’t like what spaceX is cookin then they can move on? I don’t get what’s not to like?
I didn't say abolish government. I said stop using public taxes to subsidize private companies. Quite a leap in logic to jump to your conclusion.
And then what?
Are you advocating the government stop doing things like NASA altogether? Or are you advocating for complete government control of their own production line?
Neither of those are good options.
No bid contracts are bs, and subsidizing companies that can't keep themselves afloat so the government can get a non-competitive deal are wrong, but I fail to see the benefit of outlawing all government contracting.

One of the main benefits to outlawing government contracting is that it would move us closer to people only being forced to pay for goods and services that they individually directly consumed. Freedom.
This is like saying FedEX and UPS shouldn't get government business. What's the fucking point?
FREEDOM is the point. Smdh
Why break up amazon?
If they won’t sell a book I can just buy it from another online retailer or find a place to buy it locally.
It’s not like they are the only online retailer.
Seems kind of anti capitalistic to break up a company because they are successful, especially when they mostly exist online.
"In 2018, Amazon's share of the US ecommerce market hit 49%. That's 5% of all retail spent across the entire country. To put things in perspective, this is more than Amazon's top three competitors combined, with eBay coming in at 6.6%, Apple at 3.9% and Walmart at 3.7%."

Why did you hate him, or you don’t mind sharing? Just curious
Update: Amazon backed down and published it. Claimed it was a glitch or mistake. Elon tweeted support for @Jack too. fwiw.
But their rating info is wacky. The star ratings are for 1 review, there are at least 5 reviews.
This is the review count if you display all reviews:
HUH? Yes I refreshed and got the same numbers.
it's always been that way. It's just the way they coded their pagination. Read: poorly
I love it when Billionaires call out one another
no, he didn't.
he passed the first mark in his compensation scheem that gives him a block of shares that he can't sell for 5 yeasrs.
Crazed socialist is becoming a crazed moderate?
Elon is evolving into a Hank Rerdean.
It is reaching a point where breaking up tech companies is going to really be the only solution.
They're going to at least have to be broken in two and they're going to have to be broken up politically, left wing and right wing.
A second layer of separation requires them to be broken up internally, including their services, to operate internationally. At what level they would be sub-divided depends on the country they're operating in.
wow, i never thought of breaking up a company along political lines. I would imagine that'd be damn near impossible.
Traditionally it would be poppycock. Normally companies have better sense than to be political. If you're in the business of selling beans then you stick to the business of selling beans.
When it becomes a problem then it makes absolute perfect sense. It's the right solution for the problem. It didn't make sense before because it wasn't normal for companies to be political let alone ultra political.

Reports now saying Amazon has reversed decision.
Maybe a company that dominates online retail, is the defacto bookstore of America, has sizable stakes in tv, music, fucking groceries, fucking pharmaceuticals, and oh yeah, provides the backend for a majority of the world's websites... might get a little spooked if ppl start saying "anti trust"
Twitter should be banned from the universe. Hope they get hit hard and lose their 230 cda protections.
Trumps biggest mistake was to appoint Jeff Sessions as AG. That good for nothing #@$#$ has inflicted more damage on Trump than all the democrats and MSM combined.
Ebay got bought up by a crypto company or smth and is planning to compete with amazon
Reminds me, wondering if there is any protester violence in Silicon Valley? Let me guess
Amazon's so damn overrated.. I hate it. They charge you 13 bucks a month for Prime just to get you're packages sent to you on time; without it you have to pay at least 6 bucks to ship crap. No excuse for that.. I'd rather stick with Ebay and get stuff in 3-5 days. If they offered 6 a month for the shipping it would be so much better.
Also how they treat their employees is crap too; South Park nailed that.
Why won't bezos ban Mein Kampf?
Tesla's are looking better and better.
Even though it should be old hat by now, it still blows my mind every time one of those spaceX rockets flies down and lands back on the pad
Once again, the Left proves they are the true fascists.
All Amazon is, is a middleman. Stop giving them your money, but if you have to go there, only use them as a search engine. Find your product, then search for the item through the brand directly, or - literally anywhere else.
Berenson has been doing some of the best reporting on the virus and the shut downs.
Elon mask save this book and they are selling it now!! Musk base
Been looking for a new book to read tbh
Monopolies are not wrong, harmful monopolies are wrong.
Roughly speaking that's why no one has been complaining much until recently.
Musk is more worried about AI than anyone I know... this comment doesn't make sense. He has faced direct backlash from other companies for it too.
Trust me as a random guy on the internet, that you shouldn't be so worried. When we have AI that can actually distinguish between a cat and a dog without google-sized databases to work off of, then ill be scared of plugging AI into my brain.

Bezos just shit a chicken
The virus is real but it ain't shit. The survival rate is 99.9999999999%
Sternly worded tweets are as far as it goes in 2020.
Guess i've picked Elon's side in his ongoing feud with Bezos, and I'm ok with that.
monopolies are wrong! unless we're talking about spaceships
I'd keep myself guarded against him. Sounds like just inside theirpl4ybook to pullso far left, they'd make any cr0ny type look moderate. Don't distrust, either, but certainly don't be too complacent.
Elon is no saint. He just want to attack Brazos so SpaceX will hav one less competitor.
what is this about
Alex has been OG on Covid. Kept me sane.
Ppl should not forget Amazon IS BIG TECH. AWS hosts so much of the web you and I use every day, it would blow your mind. This site is probably on AWS - no disrespect to the mods if thats not true, but only a few services can handle the Trump Train.
I like seeing some red-pilling, and I hate to be that guy but, Ummmmm, Elon...
Says the guy who "launched" a Tesla.
For the 100th time, that was a mass simulator to test a prototype rocket. There is inherent risk launching a new rocket for the first time so the payload is typically nothing more than a concrete block. Elon decided it would be more inspiring to launch his personal car so he did.
He's not allowed to have fun while trying to bring Americans to Mars?
People smart enough to be Elon Musk fans chime in.
as opposed to launching a block of concrete?
do you not understand the power of marketing?
launch block of concrete = no press interest launch car (they your other company makes) = massive press coverage.
ie. free advertising.
