Amazon, good or bad?

It's not a comment on a person's character because they buy things from a certain company. I know who and what most Hollywood celebrities are about and I still watch some movies and TV. I use Google. If I only did business with companies that have a similar world view as mine, I most likely wouldn't own anything, go anywhere or eat/drink most products.

As I pointed out earlier...much of the stuff I order from Amazon is from other sellers that sell thru Amazon. It's not ALL about Amazon.

I guess that is where you and I differ. I do not patronize Amazon based on principal, you patronize out of convenience.

Amazon is the Ward's and Sear's of today.
People use internet versus catalogs now.
Inevitable path of change.
Death is the only way to avoid.

Isn't that a cheerful conclusion?

And if I had a list of all the companies you do business with I'm sure I could say the same about you. The difference is I'm willing to admit it.

I'm NOT a fan of unions at all, but IMHO Amazon is one of the companies out there that the employees actually should have one.

Profit sharing is quite possible the WORST incentive a company can offer when they don't even make a profit lmfao.

On one hand I admire your conviction, on the other hand I call BS that you support ZERO companies with opposing views to yours.

There is truth to that as it is very hard if not impossible to not support those who hate us. However, I try to not support when possible.

I never typed anything about supporting zero companies with opposing views. That is your delusion.

Well go big or go home right, and let's not get carried away, it's more of an opinion, no delusions here.

I know who Sam Walton is and who Doug McMillon is. I know what they did with modern sporting rifles and I shop at Walmart, Walmart online, and Walmart pickup.

It sure beats porch pirates by picking up the item at pickup station slash gas station while I put my gas.

Fair enough. Now...and answer honestly...have you ever bought anything from Amazon?
