@js357 saidThe way I see it is that as long as every family has decent food and decent shelter, the rest doesn't matter that much. When either of those two are absent, you've got big trouble.

People were wondering the same thing when automobiles began to replace horse and buggies, or when catalogue shopping began become popular, or when air travel began to be an alternative to trains and cars. It's just a different way to do the same thing-
My deepest question is: What do the Kardashians do?? 🙄
@whodey saidWhy not try some naturally occuring arsenic in your tea?
I dunno but Amazon just paid out $10 billion to fight the naturally occurring gas carbon dioxide.
Not impressed?
Did that not earn enough points with the Left for them to be left alone?
Or breathe 100% naturally occurring nitrogen?
Or add naturally occuring lead to your gas?
And don't forget to fire-proof your home with natural asbestos!

Amazon is awesome and Jeff has done amazing things; but at some point it will probably be the healthiest thing for everyone to break them up. My gut is that they'll spin off AWS in the next 3 years to preempt the DOJ, especially if a Dem is elected.
Breaking up AT&T did more for the advancement of telecommunications technology than anything else in the history of the world.
