    @RoKhanna @mcuban Just brainstorming - but if the core concern is that the average Joe is being left behind and only the capital class is winning in today’s K shaped economy - then focus on how we can solve that problem not with more tax burdens or government ownership of private sector entities - which is really just veiled communism on some level if we are honest - but rather ensuring all employees share in the wealth creation. Make employee stock ownership mandatory by law - and perhaps consider a ratio minimum between founders and the employees - 3:1 for example - so if the founder(s) own 51% - then the employees collectively own 17% of the stock base - minimum. Not thought through in detail but the core idea here is to focus on long term wealth creation for the working class. This type of approach guarantees that the average Joe has access to the same stock advantages as the capitalists in essence. Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. and most of the other tech companies already use a model similar to this but the founders currently enjoy the vast majority of the wealth creation. Change the ratio.

    @jamesdalby @WallStreetApes I think its because amazon is a bigger company and their trucks need to be insured. To me this is more of a money issue than a cdl issue, but i do believe because of their insurance they require all employees who drive a semi to be licensed compared to a smaller company that doesn't have strict policy regarding their trucks in yards.

    @krystalball If we tax them enough it should be possible to close down businesses like Amazon, Google, Wal Mart, Target Microsoft, Intel and nearly every other large corporation. If we push hard enough millions of people can be laid off and forced onto government subsidies!!!

    @TVGrimReaper Why would they want to lose Fox and CBS? They’ve been strong loyal partners to the NFL. The other two networks are distracted by their much larger businesses. NBC Universal is being spun off Comcast and already lost its cable channels. ABC Disney needs to figure out how ESPN makes money without cable channel subscriptions. And all the streaming networks except Amazon are interested in keeping costs down.

    This information might be important especially if you live in NYC. For failed Amazon deliveries on a designated date here's who to contact and how: 1. Amazon Customer Service (Primary) Since Amazon is the one providing the delivery estimate, they're your best first contact. They can investigate the repeated discrepancy between the promised Sunday delivery and actual Monday arrival. 2. USPS (Secondary) Since USPS is the carrier also confirming Sunday delivery and not following through, you can also contact your local post office directly to flag the issue. For the most effective resolution with Amazon: • Report each affected order individually through Customer Service • Mention the pattern (multiple Sunday deliveries arriving Monday) • Reference specific order numbers if possible Amazon's Customer Service team can log the issue, follow up with USPS, and in some cases provide compensation for missed delivery promises.

Ph No. + OTP for a platform with all the credit card info, addresses saved inside is not at all good IMO. Include 1. email ID +PW, 2. 2FA - passkeys, TOTPs like the Amazon. @flipkartsupport

    @AmazonHelp you’re still missing the main point.If the order was not delivered within the promised time because of Amazon’s own delivery failure, why should I be made to bear any marketplace fee? Was I supposed to keep waiting indefinitely for an order that was already delayed for days?And my main concern is the ₹2,160 I actually paid from my card. I want my refundable amount returned to my original payment method, not converted into Amazon cashback/credit.I’m not interested in how Amazon categorises the marketplace fee internally. The issue is that the customer did not cause the delay or cancellation—Amazon did.Please provide the exact calculation showing where my money went and why the full refundable amount was not returned to my card.If Amazon refuses to resolve this, I will escalate it to the National Consumer Helpline/Consumer Commission with the payment, refund and customer-service records.I want my money back through the original payment method, not Amazon credit

    @ddebow @jbsteinberg I am fine with more wealth creation provided that wealth (later on) is then progressively taxed. The Buffet Curve is a problem that is getting worse over time. Solving it and creating the conditions for growth doesn’t have to be a zero sum choice but we can’t ignore the long run societal implications of Bezos or Amazon paying little to no tax compared to everyone else

    @revenant_MMXX You'll have the pod, the bugs, Netflix, Pornhub, Amazon Essentials, and maybe some kind of bus pass or robotaxi credits. Enough to maintain life and keep you docile. Any money you actually earn will be a pittance, useful only for drugs and Funko Pops equivalents, not ownership of anything substantial like property/wealth. The simple fact is that the owners of AI, robots, and all the other productive factors will always, always, ALWAYS have something better to spend their resources on other than keeping hordes of useless proles alive. Given the choice between keeping 10,000 strangers at a subsistence existence, or building another automated factory, they're obviously going to want the factory. The factory is useful, the randos are not. So they'll always do their damnedest to spend the bare minimum necessary to mitigate the potential for violent revolt so as to maximize their own utility. It's just rational, no hard feelings. Eventually they'll realize that violent revolt wouldn't be an issue if there were no useless proles at all, so they'll just start culling the herd. First indirectly through maximizing deaths of despair and anti-natalist measures, then just mass-produced AI piloted slaughterbots. They'll keep some people around for entertainment perhaps. Musicians, actors, artists, prostitutes, that sort of thing. But not infinite randos. What would be the point?

    @AmazonHelp @amazonIN You keep repeating the same Marketplace Fee policy, but you are not answering my actual questions. 1. If Amazon fails to deliver an order on time and the customer cancels because of that delay, who is responsible for compensating the customer for the inconvenience and delay? 2. ₹2,160 was paid from my card. Why was the full refundable amount not returned to my original payment method, and why was cashback/credit introduced without my request or consent? You still haven't answered this. 3.I also raised a serious issue about another order disappearing from my order history, along with a quantity/amount discrepancy. You have completely ignored that point. Every time I ask these questions, you simply repeat “Marketplace Fee” and end the conversation. Is this an attempt to avoid answering the actual issues?Please address each point separately and provide a proper explanation with the transaction details. Otherwise, I will have no option but to escalate this with all screenshots and records to the National Consumer Helpline/Consumer Commission.I am asking for answers, not another copy-paste policy statement.

    States rethink AI data-center incentives as power costs, public backlash grow The rapid expansion of artificial-intelligence infrastructure is prompting state and local governments to reconsider the tax breaks that helped turn the U.S. into the world’s largest data-center market. Officials from Virginia to Nebraska, New York and Texas are demanding that technology companies shoulder more of the energy, water and infrastructure costs associated with their computing facilities. Some states have suspended tax incentives, imposed new fees or temporarily halted development as residents question whether data centers produce enough jobs and public revenue to justify their demands on local resources, the New York Times reported Sunday. For investors, the shift threatens to raise construction and operating costs for cloud providers, data-center developers and AI companies. New taxes, utility tariffs and permitting restrictions could delay projects or redirect investment toward states offering abundant power and more favorable policies. Utilities, power producers and companies developing independent energy systems could benefit as technology groups seek additional electricity supplies. Virginia, home to the region known as “Data Center Alley,” recently became the first state to tax data centers according to their electricity consumption. The limited levy could generate as much as $600 million during the coming year, according to state Sen. L. Louise Lucas. The measure followed an unsuccessful attempt to repeal Virginia’s sales-tax exemption for data-center equipment. Technology companies and the Data Center Coalition, whose members include Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT) and Alphabet (GOOG)(GOOGL), opposed the broader tax proposal. Virginia’s action reflects a national debate over how the potential wealth created by AI should be divided. Advocates contend that communities shouldn’t subsidize highly profitable technology companies while absorbing higher electricity costs, environmental pressures and infrastructure demands. About 120 communities have considered or adopted temporary restrictions on data-center construction during the past two years, according to a University of Virginia tracker. Roughly 30 states also have weighed legislation related to the facilities’ power consumption. New York imposed a one-year statewide moratorium on new data-center development and plans to review its tax incentives. Illinois, Ohio and Arizona have paused some industry subsidies, while Nebraska suspended an incentive program after officials concluded that strong demand had reduced the need for public support. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott also ordered an audit of data centers’ compliance with electricity regulations, despite previously promoting the state as a leading destination for AI investment. New Jersey approved a tariff intended to ensure large electricity users contribute more toward power-system costs. The industry argues that data centers can create construction jobs, increase property-tax collections and support local economies. Loudoun County, Virginia, has used revenue generated by the industry to lower property taxes, while a Louisiana parish awarded teacher bonuses with proceeds connected to a data-center project. However, modern AI facilities generally employ relatively few people after construction while consuming far more electricity and water than earlier data centers. That imbalance has weakened the traditional argument for offering generous incentives. Major AI companies have promised to supply more of their own power and limit the effect on household utility bills. Yet the effectiveness of those commitments varies by project and location. The policy fight is likely to intensify as AI becomes an issue in the 2026 midterm elections. For the technology industry, the era of communities competing for data centers with tax breaks may be giving way to one in which companies must demonstrate a clearer economic return for their hosts, the Times reported.

I refuse to speed like the other idiots flying past me at 80 miles an hour If I take I-80 home, 25 miles on top of that or Dorrance exit, 20 miles but it's some really slow, winding roads. Plus the gridlock leaving his workplace because of all the Amazon delivery trucks. Takes me awhile just to get onto the CanDo Expressway. No matter what way I go, I run into construction as well.

    Amazon is now restricting review access. I guess they want more returns. Seems they are whining that they need to reduce server usage. Guess they need it to sell space to corporate server users.
