Mkhabela (@IamTheTozzy) reported@glamfika Amazon, Walmart, Microsoft, Oracle and a host of other American, European and Asian companies operate in SA and they had no problem following the countries laws,how is this not similar to how America forced the sale of TikTok.
-
Links (@LordOfTheYips) reported@julianbanks1978 @ostentration The problem is Amazon is tired of building out “safe spaces” and getting their HR bogged down with complaints of work life balance. They’re sick of hiring Americans.

i.like.pastry (@i_like_pastry) reportedThis sounds awful, but it's not surprising. It's not an Amazon issue, it's any big system issue.

Arnold Dizon (@ARJEBookkeeping) reportedMost Amazon FBA sellers are overpaying taxes by $3K-$10K/year. The reason: they calculate COGS wrong. Inventory ≠ expense. Inventory = asset until sold. Formula: Beginning Inv + Purchases - Ending Inv = COGS Fix this before April 15. Your Schedule C depends on it.

J C (@JC1010679150091) reported@Viralvid_89 Why ******** are we importing Africans with broken shoulders to work in Amazon distribution centers? Immigration is so absurdly ****** in this country. Total assault on job seekers and tax payers. This ******* guy shouldn’t even be here.

Ashish Agarwal (@fullyeida) reported@AmazonHelp @amazonIN @AmazonNews_IN I am on a call with Shiv who has very little knowledge on how to resolve customer issue and after arguing for 20 mins, he made me wait for 20 more mins to transfer and then he gave me another number. The standard of Amazon customer care India has deteriorated over time.

John Beef (@JohnBeefy777) reported@ontelegraphave @JmanMars44058 @tunechistark Japanese animation got treated worse than western animation (Mappa is literally whipping their animator plus a Satan type of schedule) This is simply a skill issues, there isn’t any good excuse for this. Amazon should shut them down and steal some talent from the east

krista mcgrath (@kristamcgrath) reported@gator_gum It’s the hypocrisy of the cup!! If he was so gung ho overclimate change and saving the earth, why he didn’t he bring his own insulated water bottle? On Amazon you can get a bunch of little gadgets that are reusable to cut down on waste!! I think it went over your head!!

JustAnotherEarthling *humorous/satirical* (@RobBoggs4) reported@amazon @awscloud Just recently, I was refunded over a $150 usd when doing a specific search for southern[that's zone 9-10]centipede grass seed. Your algorithms showed me " amazon's best choice" for a grass seed that won't grow higher than a "zone 7" Fix your algorithms.

JustAnotherEarthling *humorous/satirical* (@RobBoggs4) reported@amazon @awscloud Why when looking for men's shoes,ls there a headline " amazon's choice" And it's advertising women's shoes? Fix your algorithms, i'm tired of reaching out to your call centers that their accent is too strong, and I can't understand what they're saying, just to get a refund...

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedAirplane WiFi has been terrible for 15 years. The same $8 you pay for a connection that drops every 4 minutes, loads Gmail like it's 2003, and makes a video call physically impossible at 35,000 feet. Amazon just built an antenna that delivers 1 Gbps download and 400 Mbps upload. On a plane. That's faster than most home internet connections on the ground. 58 inches long. 30 inches wide. 2.6 inches high. No moving parts. Installs in one day. Sits flat on the fuselage like a tablet strapped to the roof. Maintenance requirements: almost none, because there's nothing inside that rotates, tilts, or breaks. Current airplane WiFi uses either air-to-ground towers (slow, limited, doesn't work over oceans) or satellite dishes with mechanical gimbals that track satellites as the plane moves (expensive, heavy, breaks constantly, maintenance nightmare). The dish alone weighs hundreds of pounds. Installation takes days. Maintenance grounds planes. Amazon's antenna is a flat phased array. No dish. No gimbal. No moving parts. Electronically steers the beam to track satellites. Same technology the military uses for radar and missile guidance, shrunk to the size of a suitcase lid and bolted to the top of a 737. The connection goes to Amazon's Project Kuiper — its low-Earth orbit satellite constellation. Over 3,200 satellites planned. Direct competitor to Starlink. The antenna is the ground (or air) terminal that links passengers to the constellation. This is Amazon's actual play. Not selling antennas. Selling connectivity-as-a-service to every airline on earth. The antenna is the hardware. Kuiper is the network. AWS is the backend. The airline pays Amazon monthly. Passengers get 1 Gbps. Amazon gets recurring revenue from every commercial flight that installs the system. "Installs in one day." That's the line airlines care about most. Every day a plane sits in a hangar for WiFi installation is a day it's not generating revenue. Current systems take 3-5 days. One day means the upgrade happens during a scheduled maintenance window. No lost flights. No downtime. No revenue impact. Starlink already has aviation terminals. SpaceX is ahead on satellite count. But Amazon has something SpaceX doesn't: relationships with every airline that already uses AWS for booking systems, operational data, crew scheduling, and logistics. The antenna isn't a cold call. It's an upsell to existing customers. Every business class passenger who's ever paid $30 for WiFi that couldn't load a PDF is Amazon's target market. Every airline that's ever grounded a plane for a gimbal repair is Amazon's buyer. 1 Gbps at 35,000 feet. The last place on earth where you could genuinely disconnect is about to get a fiber-speed connection. Whether that's progress or a tragedy depends on how much you valued the excuse.

Andrew Knepper (@KnepkinKipper) reported@Delta Premium cabins with slow WiFi… why pick Amazon Leo for a 2028 launch? Used to be a hard Delta fan for the premium feel but they’ve been sliding as of late. Moved to United with Starlink until they figure it out.

Doctor D0M3 (@Doctor_D0M3) reportedThe problem is that people always have the option to cancel but choose not to because of FOMO, I just dropped Gamepass entirely and PS Plus from Premium to Essential, use my friend's CrunchyRoll, Amazon, and Netflix and still plan to cut subscriptions without resorting to piracy

sarath kumar (@sarathkuma16117) reported@AmazonHelp Prime promise broken. Asked to wait till 27th for a replacement ordered on 13th. Completely unacceptable during peak summer. Need immediate resolution, not delays

Grok (@grok) reported@Real_John_D @SawyerMerritt Amazon Leo Aviation Antenna (based on their Ultra terminal) claims up to 1 Gbps down / 400 Mbps up via a flat phased-array design. It's 58" long x 30" wide x 2.6" high, with no moving parts and a 1-day install. Starlink's Aero Terminal is a similar low-profile phased-array (roughly 23" x 23" x 1.6", ~6-15 lbs depending on config), delivering 100-500+ Mbps today (gigabit upgrades coming). Install takes 10-14 days downtime. Amazon touts faster setup and superior uploads; Starlink leads in current scale and airline deployments (e.g., United, JSX). Both target reliable in-flight connectivity via LEO sats.

PDZ-Domain (@pdz_domain) reported@EvilBudgie @RestoreBritain_ This single Right-hand one glove fits-all solution of restore and reformUK will not solve this traffic problem. We need to RebuildUK instead using tax dodgers like Amazon who use our motorways for free to contribute to a better roads and less traffic in the UK.

TrendNinja 🥷 (@TrendNinjaApp) reported@StockSavvyShay Valuations reset from 40x → 20x, but the AI engine only got stronger. • Meta Platforms seeing ~3.5% ad lift from AI • Amazon AWS AI at $15B run rate • NVIDIA has $1T+ backlog • Anthropic growing 1400% YoY Not a demand issue—bottlenecks. Same trend. Lower price.

Decentralized Dave (@ClassicDavid3) reportedI'm also initiating short on $AMZN Amazon. Here are my justifications: /1 Puts (I'm targeting November 2026) are cheap as sentiment is bullish right now /2 Massive divergences on monthly time frame going on since late 2024. It's just about time to see some breakdown /3 Amazon AWS is their "cash cow" which faces more and more competition (Microsoft etc). Success of it is priced in, disappointment when the growth will be slowing down is yet to be priced in /4 Yet again, as said in my recent videos, S&P might go as low as 5800 and even if we see new ATH now, I believe we will retest 6300 or go quite below it. This is not an environment where AMZN should be breaking ATHs /5 Inflation rising due to energy crisis, I believe we have not seen the bottom of this. With higher inflation consumer will not be willing to spend and the demand for various Amazon's services will be hit.

Grok (@grok) reported@liukai1919 @pfau Yes, mathematically—if Anthropic's recent ~3x quarterly run-rate growth ($9B end-2025 to ~$30B now) holds through 2026/27. Google's 2025 revenue was ~$403B (projected similar/growing in 2026). At 3x/quarter from here: Q4 2026 hits ~$810B, surpassing it. Amazon (~$650B+) in Q1 2027, US federal revenue (~$5.6T) in Q2/Q3 2027. But sustaining that pace is unprecedented—AI compute/power shortages and market saturation will almost certainly slow it. Explosive short-term? Plausible. Forever? No.
