How Amazon Crushes Small Business

Original Article

Posted By: GustoGrabber, 12/15/2021 7:15:18 AM

Much has been written over the past year about how Amazon treats its warehouse workers and other employees and its attempts to prevent their unionization. But the mistreatment of Amazon’s labor force is far from the only negative effect of having once-thriving mom-and-pop shops gobbled up by or placed at the mercy of a faceless e-commerce leviathan. Amazon’s ascent means that more and more Americans are losing their commercial autonomy, the right to dictate and introduce innovations into the terms of their own transactions and business relations, and, ultimately, their ability to control their financial—and, therefore, personal—destinies.

How is this not the very definition of a monopoly? I thought the Leftist/Fascists were against monopolies. Bezos must be the correct political stripe.

We have been seeing commercials that Amazon is now paying their employees $15+ an hour. My response: big whoop. Given Jeff Bezos's wealth, why wasn't he doing that all along? I have an answer but it draws in a larger circle of people and they are liberals. From my Life Application Bible is this footnote from Psalm 22:30,31 "Unborn generations are depending on our faithfulness today. As we teach our children about the Lord, so they will teach their children and their children’s children. If we fail to tell our children about the Lord, we may well be breaking the chain of God’s influence in generations to come. We must view our children and all the young people we meet as God’s future leaders. If we are faithful in opportunities today, we may well be affecting the future." Here is my answer: given that liberals are trying to take God out of society and believe in abortion to the degree that they do, a natural result of that is less people being influenced by God. When there is less influence by God, there is more influence by ungodly people. Jeff Bezos, along with his liberal friends, now think they have to educate people on everything. There are signs in people yards now that say "Love is a universal thing" or something like that. That sign replaced the Vote for Joe Biden sign. I would like to say them, "no kidding, Sherlock" but as Christians we've known that all along. To wrap up this lengthy post, liberals now believe they have to educate EVERYONE after creating the damage by taking God out of society and believing abortion is an answer.

The government is crushing small business, not Amazon. And small business is crushing themselves. When they say they won't let people in their stores without masks and shots, they have a lot of people that won't come back to their stores. The shopping experience has been destroyed by the left. Frankly, I would rather order online than deal with it. I would also rather eat at home than eat through a filthy mask. Then, there is the thing about being confronted, instead of the former thanks for coming. If you want customers, I would suggest not confronting them.

Oops, I forgot my last thought. Jeff Bezos doesn't care about wiping out small business. When a business goal is money only, that becomes the main focus. It shows with how he has treated his employees.

Twice now I have ordered something -- small items -- and a 'free gift' (made in China) has come from Amazon. They were similar to, but not actually what I ordered. It is bothersome and I have about decided to stop online ordering. Are they trying to curry favor? It is not working.

I used to sell products on Amazon. Amazon made more profit off of my sales than I did. A couple of negative reviews and they shut down your account.

Before I retired last December and shut down my business, I used to order at least half of my supplies from Amazon. Then came the election and Amazon’s role in trying to shut down Parler among other atrocities. I canceled my Prime account and have not ordered anything since last December. And I haven’t missed it at all. Having to search the internet for other sources takes time, but I’m retired so it’s no big deal. And having to go out and purchase something locally may be less convenient but it gets me out of the house and interacting, maskless, with people, which is a freedom I now have because I live in a very red state.

Amazon certainly has its downside but you must admit it is a hugely successful business model and is far easier than driving to a mall, fighting traffic and parking and possibly getting mugged in the process, The article is a bunch of psychobabble. He talks about unionization like it's a good thing and the type of people who work in Amazon's warehouses would love to slow down and get more and more benefits for a mindless job but unions do nobody any good except for union management. They also drive up costs for all concerned and give bundles of money to democrats. You have a choice not to buy from Amazon or sell through Amazon. I publish books on their Kindle platform with ease, they handle all of the technology and I make enough to make it worthwhile. Standard book publishers today are woke, liberal, condescending and your chances of getting a book published are nil unless your name is Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton. Small businesses rarely stock all sizes or colors and in the past you just put up with it, traveled to another store or waited for them to order it. Today you sit down at your computer and you have exactly what you want in a matter of a couple of days, sooner if you want to pay the shipping cost. I have only had one bad experience with Amazon and it still infuriates me. I bought a couple of gift cards as Christmas presents and they were shipped but stolen in a Pittsburgh Post Office, that's where the trail stopped. The status kept saying "Refund in Process" and it continues to say that two years later. No excuse for such incompetence. Lesson learned, do not buy from Amazon things that have a high theft potential.

I make a real effort to NOT buy from Amazon, always seeking another source if Amazon comes up on an online search. IMO, Amazon is destructive to the country in multiple ways, and I try not to fund them. Occasionally, I can't find another source for an item, and do purchase from them, but only once a year or so.

Small business has its challenges, and they grew with the pandemic hysteria and the near-universal expansion of delivery services. One can go to Amazon, Walmart, or other large on-line purveyor and find two alluring things mom-and-pop cannot offer: very low prices (based on volume sales) and delivery that eliminates the inconvenience of actual shopping. Add in the COVIDS scare, and who woudn't like to have their stuff delivered by "heroes" at a low price and "free shipping"?

My husband is a retired electrical engineer. He supplements his retirement income by doing custom projects for people. Sadly, Amazon is often the only place to get the parts and supplies he needs and still make a profit. We live in a super high-tech center (Austin, TX), and there is really only one store that sells the really specific parts he needs. And they cost over twice what comparable parts cost on Amazon (as their prices skyrocketed in the past year -- FJB for that one). Plus it's about a 25-mile drive to the other side of town to shop there. Other on-line sellers are more in line with Amazon prices, but charge double what they did a year ago for shipping (FJB for that one). Since he is a Prime member, shipping is free on Amazon. He would much rather shop locally. And would even be willing to pay a little more to do so (but not double or more). But between gas prices doubling here for that 50-mile round trip (FJB for that one), and the extremely higher prices for the parts (also FJB for that one), he is stuck with Amazon. This is the reality of the FJB economy. FJB for that one!!!

Sorry to break the news, but mom & pop stores began disappearing from Main Street long before Amazon appeared on the scene. You may not like Amazon, but as a publicly-held company (like Disney or Coca Cola) the corporate responsibility is to make money for the shareholders - which it has done quite well.

In November, Secretary of State Antony Blinken removed Nigeria from the State Department’s list of countries hostile to religious freedom. The move flabbergasted religious freedom advocates, including members of the U.S. government’s own Commission on International Religious Freedom. That commission had urged Blinken in April to keep Nigeria on the list, pointing to “violence by militant Islamists and other non-state armed actors, as well as discrimination, arbitrary detentions, and capital blasphemy sentences by state authorities” in the country. In 2020, the Trump administration designated Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern” (CPC) on religious freedom.

I also included a link to Kennedy’s appearance on “Tucker Carlson Today.” It was a remarkable exchange and I commend both the book and the interview to your attention. I disagree with Kennedy about various things, including the efficacy of vaccines in general, but his assessment of the highest-paid employee of the federal government, Anthony Fauci, is worth the price of admission.

And there was substance to the claim. Early in his presidency, Biden had passed a $1.9 trillion stimulus package.

That’s the message the White House is trying to convey in a year-end memo to Democratic lawmakers and other supporters, according to a new report from Axios. The memo — titled “2021: POTUS Delivered for Working Families” — illustrates in words and graphics what the Biden administration describes as a year of accomplishments, according to the outlet. The two-page document touts the COVID-19 vaccination program, the widespread reopening of schools, and a decline in the unemployment rate and jobless claims. It also hails the passage of two major spending bills this year: the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan in March
