Admit it: you are monarchists, and Bezos is your king.


No - he is our queen, promoting the not-so-secret gay agenda we want.  The clue is in the logo.





It’s no coincidence the arrow is phallic and pointing to the letters that sound out ‘azz.’

I ordered a set of CDs from Amazon in this Christmas season, and it didn't arrive on the day it was supposed to.  Got an email that same day from Amazon, apologizing it was damaged in transit and they were refunding my money.  I ordered another one and it got here this time.  That is the first time something I ordered from them was damaged.  They are fast if something screws up.

Oh, that's really creepy!  (I'm learning a bit too much today......)


If I were to be a monarchist as accused, I would choose Queen Elizabeth over this Jeff feller.   :dx1:

Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Interesting.

The same people who worship at the feet of Amazon were the same ones who were most adamant about the supposed veracity of the Roy Moore smears.

Common thread? Jeff Bezos, who owns both Amazon and the Post.

Admit it: you are monarchists, and Bezos is your king.

More of a queen if know what I mean  :tongue2:

I read about the meaning of that logo. It's a smile that goes from "A" to "Z," a reference to the fact that you can get almost anything from there.  About the "smile," if you use "smile.amazon.com" they will donate a share of the sales price to the charity of your choice (free to you).  I chose "MikeRoweWorks."

I'm typically a big fan of @jmyrlefuller, he's a top-notch thinker, but I have to say this analogy doesn't work for me.  Sorry, Myrle. :shrug:

Customer feedback is built int their business model, and I'd be willing to bet complaints like yours are driving the move away from USPS.  I've filed them too.

She is a consummate complainer that girl. Grade A, Top notch.  Bezo's probably switched just to shut her up.

@ALL WHO DEPEND ON AMAZON FOR A BETTER LIFE

Anyone who messes with my Amazon is dirt.  Hence, Trump is dirt.
Without Amazon and their fast delivery, my life would be much worse, hence, my life is better with Amazon.  Hence, when someone messes with Amazon, they mess with me.  It is not good to mess with me.  Hence, dirt Trump better leave my Amazon alone.  In the Constitution, messing with Amazon is an impeachable offence - you can trust me, it's in there.  Screw with Amazon and this is what you get -  9999hair out0000

Why should people who have to put a first-class stamp on an envelope to mail a bill be subsidizing your Amazon service?  It's great that you can get it, but you should be paying your fair share of the cost of getting your stuff delivered.

I agree.  Wiseasses like that usually think they're wise enough to have a plan that would work.  I was asking what it was.  There's actually something that would work, at least temporarily.  @The Ghost knows what it was because I told him a couple of times.  I assumed @WineNot would know also.

Take is up with USPS if you think it's unfair.  Amazon is not the only business that gets a bulk rate discount.

I love Amazon and use it all the time but entirely agree with the proposition that they should not be getting any government subsidy.  I will go further than that and say nobody should be getting any government subsidies.
