    Amazon ships a bar of soap in a TV sized box no problem but I toss a paper towel and suddenly I’m melting the polar ice caps. Jeff turning cardboard into a forest while I’m getting a lecture from my recycling bin.

    @cptdankkk Consumers with spending problems has become the American pastime. Breakfast, lunch and dinner on the go, food delivered by Uber drivers, catalogs bringing goods right to your doorstep and Amazon on call 24/7. And who can drive or walk by a coffee stand for only five dollars a cup. If one were to jot down the little purchases and not look at them for a month, they would be shocked to find they could have paid for a cook.

    @AmazonHelp Thank you for your reply, but this process does not work for my situation. The order has been made on Nov 2025 and the problem appeared after using it several months. Also the box was also opened.

    @zerohedge Sure you did Jeffy boy. I don't seem to recall that Amazon was shut down at all during covid. ALL YOUR MOM AND POP RETAIL COMPETITORS WERE SHUT DOWN. So, we take your massive increase in wealth as exactly what it was. A grift, shoved in the rear end of taxpayers & consumers.

    @wallstengine Course it will solve the issue. How does he think his enormous profits get funded? He doesn’t pay his employees enough money to afford all the stuff Amazon sells. How does it all get funded? Government deficits!

    @RA_Venn_ @Scott_A_Butler Problem is that this is via Amazon extended distribution, it's priced higher than I chose it & I get 20% less royalties!

    @adamemedia1 @AdameMedia Shut down the ports. Shut down the railroads. Shut down the docks. Shut down the Amazon warehouses. Truck drivers pull over and stop for 72 hours and have a barbecue on the side of the road..

    @dannycantalk @rcbregman Much wealth in the US has been created recently. It’s not a spending problem. It’s a WASTE problem. Every Amazon server runs technology funded with tax dollars. We get great returns on accretive public spending. WEALTH CREATION.

    In 2009, Etsy was quietly dying. Revenue was flat. Amazon was circling. Handmade goods felt like a niche too small to matter. So they hired a data scientist named Kellan Elliott-McCrea. He wasn't a retailer. He was a software engineer who had spent years obsessing over distributed systems. But he brought something most retail minds didn't have: a way of thinking about scale as a design problem, not a logistics one. He rebuilt Etsy's engineering culture from the ground up. Continuous deployment. Blameless post-mortems. Systems thinking applied to a marketplace of handmade goods. By 2012, Etsy had grown from 150 engineers to over 500. Revenue followed. The insight wasn't retail expertise. It was transferred expertise. Takeaway: The person who saves your company probably didn't come from your industry. They came from somewhere adjacent - with a mental model your competitors never thought to borrow. " Expertise compounds across domains. The cognitive habits built in one field don't disappear when you switch fields. They transfer. The best analysts in prediction markets right now aren't coming from finance. They're coming from game theory, statistics, and software. - - - "The expert in anything was once a beginner in something else."

    @CliveRoper @NOWTV it has stopped working on 2 LG tvs and an amazon firestick for me, but working fine on my phone. Funnily enough the tv/stick apps had all been logged out (and updated maybe?) and I needed to log in first, then the error.

    Making merch is like the base thing to get funding for a show If they weren't indie they wouldn't have merch right away because then they'd be funded by a bigger corporation such as amazon, netflix, sony, all those big hitters everybody knows And guess what? Glitch isn't funded-

    @FugitiveJacket @JeffBezos Amazon is our problem, his company operates in Canada too and he does the same greedy tactics in Canada If you don't like that ... then tell his *** to say in the the USA only. Until then you're gonna hear how big of a ******** Jeff Bezos is from everyone around the world

    @Saqib_hmed @lthlnkso @HasanabiProd Twitch is a net money sink. Idk how many ads hasan runs. I’m sure the subs are great. But twitch as a whole is the biggest piece of **** investment ever. Which is insane because Amazon has the server capacity and fiber lines to make it work.

    @rcbregman Bezos is estimated to have paid about $1.35 billion in federal taxes in 2025 from Amazon stock sales alone. How much taxes did you and your entire family paid last year? How about since you were born? Yea. That’s what I thought. Sit down bud

    everyone's watching $NVDA stock price tonight. nobody's reading what jensen actually said. $1 trillion in orders on the books through 2027. not analyst projections. not revenue guidance. signed contracts. microsoft, google, amazon, meta — and now governments. japan. france. uae. saudi arabia. nations are buying nvidia chips the same way they built power grids in the 1900s. jensen calls it sovereign ai. every country on earth is realizing that running its defense, healthcare, and financial infrastructure on someone else's american cloud server is a national security vulnerability. so they're building their own. with nvidia. on multi-year government contracts that don't disappear when a cfo has a bad quarter. that's not a product cycle. that's a permanent budget line on 100 government balance sheets. then spacex filed its ipo paperwork today. everyone sees "rocket company goes public." here's what they're missing. in february spacex merged with xai — elon's ai company — in the largest corporate merger in history at $1.25 trillion. starlink already controls two thirds of all active satellites in low earth orbit. $10 billion a year in revenue. growing. the next phase: orbital data centers. ai compute nodes on satellites, launched by reusable rockets, running on solar power, owned by no landlord, under no single government's jurisdiction. one company controlling the launch vehicle, the satellite constellation, the internet pipe, and the ai model running through it. end to end. in orbit. that's not a rocket company going public. that's the compute layer of civilization being moved off earth. nvidia is building the intelligence infrastructure on the ground. spacex is building the infrastructure to take it off the ground entirely. two companies. two filings. one thesis. whoever controls compute controls everything. most people will only see the stock prices. 🦈 5,774 stocks scanned every morning at 5am pt

  • therobertta_
    Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reported

    The math exposes the problem. If Amazon has 30,000 engineers each burning 500 tokens per day to look compliant, that is 15 million wasted tokens daily. At roughly $0.003 per token on a mid-tier model, the company pays $45,000 per day for employees to perform AI productivity. That is $16 million a year in theater.

    @GreenBirbGirl I think the big issue (and near only) people see with him is just work ethic. Bad breaks, which is agree with, and low wages. Where i live you get paid between 18.50-22 dollars starting off at an Amazon warehouse and thats more than enough to live alone so I dont get that

    @JeffBezos Thanks for doing your part, and helping me when I was running a business, without Amazon, it wouldn't have even been possible, beyond that we all know taxes are not spent correctly, how do we fix and stop it then? Auditing would be fair but they hate giving the real numbers

    Brad Chattergoon (@bradchattergoon) reported

    Idk if this is a hot take, but this is actually a problem with the government rather than with Amazon. People shouldn't be protesting that Amazon has poor working conditions, they should be protesting that the government allows Amazon to have such poor working conditions.

    @patrickbetdavid We need to check the Gov credit card bill for all of those Amazon purchases last month and have a sit down discussion In all seriousness the Gov is too big and too bloated and no one can afford anything until the Gov cuts spending, balances the budget and stops inflation
