    I didn’t say keep people in shitty jobs. I said pretty much let’s make Amazon pay back all the tax breaks theyve got and if they want to remove employees tax them for it. Why do you think all the cities in America threw themselves at Amazon and offered $100s of millions of tax breaks to open facilities near them. It was for the jobs they were bringing locally. They want to remove, fine. Other corporations that effectively pay $0 in taxes each year want to dump workers too, that’s cool. They better pay for doing it tho. For running small businesses out of towns. For using genuine antitrust practices to prevent real competition that would have kept wages and jobs safe all these years. They owe the American people. All you guys defending them, defending the failure of capitalism can suck my dick. I’m done fighting this with you.

      That’s insanity. You can’t draw the line anywhere clearly

      The government fucked up by giving them tax breaks. They operate within the confines of the law, the law needs changing so politicians can’t give them handouts.

      But taxing efficiencies and advancing the world is the worst idea ever.

        If the politicians gave it to bezos the people can take it back. You think its fair the sackler family keeps the billions they made for killing 10s of millions of people through the years. Just because what they did was legal at the time. They are going to see justice and I can only hope the billionaires in this country see the same justice for their crimes against the economy.
