We used to have actual decent competition for Amazon. So naturally, they, and their fellow idiots (see: the guy who ran The CoOp into the ground) had to either buy it, or destroy it, leaving us with fuck-all choice…
If ever there was an evil company, it’s Amazon. And everything Bezos touches.

Absolute cock heads, how that monopoly failed I have no idea, big captive audience, easy money, like that old bookstore here Wooldridge's. If you can't make money selling to every damn school student their entire catalogue, there is a problem.

White collar crime/insider trading, if you will.
But because of the structure of that "company", I don't think he was ever charged with anything...
Remember Dick Smith Electronics..? Like that, but somehow worse, because I believe this was one person...

You’re Aussie too, innit?
We are so fucked, lol…
