Socialism never works

Public Roads

Public Police

FAT DOSE

that's not socialism

Remember that guy from south America that wanted to look like a Nazi

it's about the means of production

@Reynala amazon gets massive amounts of cash directly from federal funding, was launched with federal funds and gets exclusive deals like paying nothing on shipping (tax payers pay it for them)

Public Roads are not Worker Unionized Control of Construction. Public Roads are collectively funded initiatives.

if they own most or all of it, it's socialist

if they allow you to own the majority of your work, it's not socialism, it's just a shitty tax regime

Oh, I'm not defending Amazon in the slightest and that kind of corporatism is disgusting

But speaking more in general terms

Amazon is a revolution in the market, you can get almost any product you want from almost anywhere in the world in the most efficient way possible. How is that disgusting

What does socialism do to farmers

They bring it to you at the lowest price, amazon only has a 2% profit margin.

"Disgusting." Huh.

The government giving unfair advantages to corporations

Which is the doing of lobbyists

@>_ yeah, it's hilarious, Amazon had an even narrower profit margin than that until recently

I don't like what Amazon is doing to domestic markets

it's literally globalist

@>_ by many accounts, Amazon could qualify as a non-profit.

until recently

I support tarrifs but o/w it's fine

Basically

lol

The problem is that the government taxes everyone else

not that they don't tax amazon

Absolutely

I don't support tariffs on their own, but I have confidence that Americans can compete globally if allowed to.

Obamacare crushed small businesses

Because it was a tax

Americans already compete globally

We fucking kill in entertainment

If interim tariffs are used to allow Americans to compete on equal footing in more markets, then I don't mind them

but the key word is interim

So who wants some tea and crumpets with Jack Daniel's

for them to have negotiating weight, we have to be willing to ride them out

@shanepottermi and?
