David M (@McclurgDave) reported@WOLF_Financial $2T federal deficit this year. GAO: $186B+ improper payments + hundreds of billions in annual fraud/waste. WaPo wins Pulitzer attacking DOGE for trying to cut it? That's not journalism — it's protecting the bloat. Bezos preaches Amazon efficiency but cheers this? Come on. Fix the waste first.

Kaitie (@kaitiekat85) reported@MsSavageAF @bbjess I don’t understand the whole gambling issue…. Guess how many gambling ads I get served by Amazon in a single day…..

saiyar (@saiyar) reportedAmazon has brought prices down massively, including no need to put wear and tear or use gas driving to stores to find what you want. What exactly are you complaining about? He’s massively successful. Unaffordability is an inflation problem. Go blame your govt. Bezos has nothing to with that. If you just want to redistribute wealth from him and others like him, just say you want a wealth tax.

KY Maverick (@KYMaverick1) reportedBerkeley Law has intensified its scrutiny of artificial intelligence. Ironically, this week’s issue of my professional association journal examined the future applications and current risks of AI in healthcare. Newsrooms are using AI to write stories and Amazon just announced it is using AI to facilitate healthcare for Prime members. Upon logging on, I learned that Michael Morgan had been denied a pro hac vice application in Massachusetts due to his prior misuse of AI in a legal proceeding in another state. In a related development, the Miami-Dade and Broward County Courts jointly announced new disclosure requirements for the use of generative AI in court filings. Even amid these cautionary developments, I was unable to persuade Grok—an AI system—that it was hallucinating during our exchange last night. The law is behind and necessary safe guards are not in place. AI ethical standards need to be tighten.

Armiustav (@Armiustav) reported@therealshadyun1 It’s crazy how much they control as it is. Like far too many sites use Amazon too which is why when AWS goes down a lot of the internet goes with it, terrifying stuff

Andrew Dunlap (@andrewdunlap) reported"Buy local" might be the worst-branded good idea in America. It sounds like a bumper sticker, a farmers market thing, or a tote bag virtue. So people nod, feel mildly guilty, and click Amazon anyway. Here's what buying local actually is, as the most self-interested thing you can do: When you buy from a Virginia company, the owner pays Virginia taxes that fund your roads and your kid's school. They bank with a Virginia bank that lends to your neighbor's business. They hire Virginia people who spend their paycheck at the Virginia restaurant down the street from you. They sponsor your daughter's lacrosse team. When you buy from an out-of-state alternative, the margin leaves, goes to a shareholder in California, a fund in New York, a holding company in Delaware. It does not come back. A dollar spent locally bounces around through your ecosystem four, five, six times before it leaves. A dollar spent nationally leaves on the first bounce. Multiply that across a region, across a decade. That is the difference between a town that compounds and a town that gets hollowed out. This is not charity. It is not sentiment. It is not a tote bag. It is you, quietly building the place your kids will inherit.

peter wilson (@wilsonpeter48) reportedSave this year the better. I have a Currys voucher but don't stock your SmartWatch so I can't use it to pay for it. I don't trust Amazon no more as I have had deliveries damaged or come extremely late (11pm) my health issues means I can't predict how tired I am from day to day

Mike Mabes (@MrMabes) reported@Lormif1 @thecoachchris_ You can no longer order nuts and bolts individually soon to fix some dire need at anything near what amazon could soon send it for, they are removing low cost completely. I frame is as a huge reduction in quality of life.

🔥INFERNO🔥 (@InfernoYTREAL) reported@KirPinkFury Nah this is just an Amazon issue. They're always pulling crap like this.

Tom L. (@Litwitom) reported@NikkiMcR People get paid what they are worth. if these employees feel they can make better money not working for Amazon, quit and take that job. Easy peasy.

Erica Rochelle (@erlee0217) reportedI have really decreased my Amazon purchases. Really online shopping in general for me has gone down. Anyone else experiencing this?
-
Brandon Taylor (@TripleDsBTaylor) reportedI feel like Amazon has a pacing issue with its shows. Jack Ryan was great, but shows like The Boys, Invincible, and even some of the latest Terminal List episodes had a pacing issue.
-
Joey Ray Ray (@JoeyRayJoey) reported@SubxNews Take a look at LaSalle, also tumbleweeds. Combo of work-from-home, bricks & mortar “in-store” shopping decline, rise of Amazon, fear of Chicago violence. Many cities face the same. Taxes are thus down while city expenses rise and with no good leaders, they run to “higher taxes.

SAU (@Shourabh_07) reported@AmazonHelp And the agent keeps getting technical errors and keeps asking me the reason again and again.

Ashutosh Tiwari (@beashutiwari) reportedThe AI layoff wave isn’t slowing down. Oracle: up to 30K Intel: ~24K Amazon: ~30K Dell: ~12.5K Accenture: ~11K Meta: ~8K Cisco, PayPal, Block, Coinbase, Kraken… All citing “AI restructuring.” The real question: are you ready for future?

Chris (@ChrisChrisl21) reported@herosnvrdie69 The problem is a job at Amazon has never was a thing until recently and it was never meant to be a career. Certain jobs are meant to put some money in your pocket while your working on getting the next level
-
**** This **** (@NihilAbsurdist) reported@QuestionAbyss It's the people that are supporting the nonsense and ALSO bitching about it like they're not part of the problem that get under my skin. It must be something other than their weekly stack of Amazon boxes on their porch that is the problem. Right?
-
Jeffery H. Haskell 🇺🇸 (@jeffery_haskell) reported@jessica_barberi Call Amazon customer service, ask them to be transferred to KDP, they used to be able to do this. Speak to a real person and have them fix it. In the US, your copyright is assumed unless there is evidence to the contrary... normally.

Alex Zartarian 🇨🇾🇦🇲 (@Alexzartarian) reportedThe difference between retaining a client and losing them sometimes has nothing to do with results It's just the frequency and quality of communication The first 24-48 hours after you sign a client can dictate how long they stick with you Imagine buying something from Amazon and receiving no confirmation for your payment, no details about what you ordered and no tracking information Just nothing The first thing that comes to mind is why did I make this payment That's exactly what your client will think if there isn't a series of communications after they sign So find every reason to communicate in those first 24-48 hours Send an onboarding document, give access to your project management tool, send a quick Loom walking them through what happens next Then keep that momentum going Send weekly reports, monthly summaries and keep them updated on what you're working on When a few days go by, tell them this is what we were working on two days ago, this is what we're working on today and this is the strategy for next week When the next week comes, show them what you did last week, what the results were and what you're going to do differently based on those results There should never be a point where your client feels like you don't know what you're doing or how to address a problem If you're not getting results and you disappear, you'll lose the client 100% But if things aren't going well and you're actually making an effort to understand why, and you're communicating that through messages, check-in calls and analysis of what's happening and what you're doing to fix it, they'll stick with you Because what clients really want is to see effort on your side They want to know they didn't just pay someone to do nothing They're paying you to work for them and help them make money so show them you're actually doing that Results are obviously the most important thing but frequent communication builds a relationship and massively increases your retention And even if they do churn, at least they'll respect you instead of thinking you just took their money and disappeared Sometimes you're not going to get results, that's just business But if you communicate well and show real effort, people will appreciate that you tried Communication keeps clients around way longer than you think

David (@Keneetia) reported@Susan05566057 Inflammation has a cause, my wife has told me. Especially if you have been vaccinated at any time. Inflammation in your legs can be a result of heart trouble or even diabetes. Nattokinase & Bromelain can help with swelling. They are natural products you can order on Amazon.

ChiTowne Bear Downe (@BPAutomata) reported@TheRealMikey09 @AdamHoge You're right, they are much smaller than most corporations in Illinois. You the Bears are Amazon, Boeing or Catapillar? Get real dude, you sound like a child. This is NOT a serious issue as far as the state legislature is concerned. Grow up.
-
🐙TakoBueno VT🐙 (@TakoyaOni) reported@AmazonHelp The answer I gave was after me checking the site and like I said, the product has been sold out since even before it was released. Now y'all want me to wait months longer to get a replacement?? Terrible customer service
-
AJ (@CardGameNomad) reported@LlcPickaxe A lot of gaming companies already enforce strict distribution policies. Distributors are often required to: • Sell at a % of MSRP • Prevent wholesale accounts from flipping on eBay/Amazon • Follow allocation rules Pokémon could absolutely enforce similar policies if they wanted to. At the end of the day, no smart distributor is turning down the biggest TCG franchise over tighter wholesale terms because the product would still move instantly. None of us know the exact contracts between Pokémon and distributors, but based on how dozens of other companies operate, it’s definitely possible. And honestly, Pokémon’s response seems pretty clear already… they bought Excell to likely control some distribution themselves.

Mazoona (@Mazen0745254901) reported@KingCheesus No , the Boys as a legacy is not forgotten, just the ones who made it terrible : amazon , Eric . You know .

Tj Nova (@karmic__avenger) reported@JeffBezos Good point. Government systems seem pretty broken now. Putting money in the people’s pockets that truly pay for the whole government, industries, companies and any new idea that will eventually be the next Amazon or Tesla seems a good choice now that things are unaffordable.
