… wait, were not jobs (for human beings) at least one of the big reasons that Amazon was allowed to build those massive warehouses with incredible tax and land deals in the first place? If they go ahead and replace workers with robots then all of those sweet tax and land deals should be rescinded with retroactive taxation back to the first shovel turn of dirt and taxed forward at the same rates as all other businesses with no depreciation allowed to be claimed on buildings or the new machinery.
SILVER WAR$…
AND the start of the reboot;
to…
Build back better!
With no taxes; for the rich…
Of course!
Well how was it that Amazon became the monster that is now is in the first place? Because it was allowed to circumvent the laws/regulations. Fostered even. Burdened with next to none of the taxes that most every other business would have been forced to pay.
These “people” aren’t even THAT intelligent, but they ARE in a big club. The player-with-theirselves club, and I’m personally glad that I’m not in it.
Why do we act surprised when they take ANOTHER liberty…because exactly that’s what they’re up to… Taking your liberties… and no-one is going to lift a finger to stop them until they’re at your front door.
Knock, knock…
Uber didn’t hide it. [as Amazon did]
Uber boldly stated their business model.
Break the laws!
MIGHT MAKE RIGHT…
Good Money!
[also: unlimited funding model]
(both never making money - for years, on end)
CIA ?
Not surprised at all, this tech move to replace humans has featured in WEF conferences for ages. Just forwarding to alert that the act has been implemented according to plans.
Maybe they are like in many business plans, a loss leader for a bigger financial/market penetration goal. Think the price of mobile phones versus what their real price should- another loss leader for a bigger financial/market/socio political goals.
As a former boss of mine (may he rest in peace) used to say, “there you go thinking logically again!”
While I’m familiar with and can appreciate the psychological power of loss leaders…I’d submit that we’re letting them play around with too much power. When it goes from giving a carton of eggs away just to get 'em in the door, then to the clandestine fostering of society-crushing monopolies…
It’s time for the people to step up…
That’s one of the tenets of government already, even though they no longer follow it. Remember the Sherman Antitrust Act? They broke up Standard Oil, Ma Bell, etc. Competition is a good thing. Of course, the powers-that-wanna-be these days seem to like it when all the eggs are in one handbasket though don’t they? Easier to carry us all to Hell.
But yeah, I mean no offense to anyone. I’m a literal idiot. Listen to my advice at your peril. It’s just that we’re way beyond the power of lawfare now, and Congress has learned its Judo well.
Blood…
… and we should not forget that Amazon lost huge amounts of money for 9 YEARS. Hmmmmm.
I wonder how?
I truly feel the business front boss structure may be the easiest thing for the masses to get understand, and oppose. Zuckerberg, bezos, ellison, musk. Thief, altman,gates and crew, I imagine 98 percent of the population can’t help but look at these lizards and have their skin crawl
Oh come now, at least give Bill Gates a break… He’s just trying to take care of the sick, the poor, and help us gather in to huddled masses…
When they wrote “in pursuit of liberty” they meant it. Hot pursuit.
As in the Soprano way of taking care of business?
Agreed. Damage is done, mobile/cell smartphone penetration of populations is near complete globally. The control keys are in hand with most dependent on them.
Absolutely Loved It!
… I have heard there to be more than 1 kind of redemption found in that substance.

… unless they have secreted away and isolated very large sources of power the grid is certainly one of their weaknesses. Make note of where these places might be. There might be need to take them out one day soon. No power, no go. GFCS on ships are now computerized. One good EMP and all of those sophisticated weapons are useless. The same I would imagine would be true for drones as well. Again no power, no go. I wonder if anyone on this board has any training or has seen plans or discussions as to what types of Analog backups for command and control TPTB might employ. Asking for a friend …
… Gee, I guess I need my hearing checked. I thought he said that he was trying to huddle us together in mass graves.
“I have just seen an article posted on Fox Business with the following headline Amazon plans to avoid hiring 600,000 workers through AI automation strategy to double sales by 2033. Anyone who has researched the Lurianic Kabbalah will know that 600,000 is the number of shards that Adam Kadmon was shattered into when Adam (the bible one) ate from the forbidden tree.”
This is a short blog explaining the numerology and the alchemy they believe in. The more I study the ancient history and religious beliefs… It always goes back to the occult. I find it hard to take that very prominent men gather once a year in the forest in front of a giant fire and giant owl wearing robes practicing “cremation of the dead” rituals. It’s just so weird and wrong.
If they know of them. I am related to a Trump fan (his govt, not always his personality) who tells me she has no idea who Peter Thiel (I like the above reference to “Peter Thief”) is, but she does think JD Vance is wonderful “because he is a Catholic!”
And the Amazon crowd in this area just love they can have anything they want delivered to their doorstep - they pay no attention to his grandpa or Elon Musk’s grandpa Haldeman, nor to robotics replacing workers. BTW here, robotics is the hot subject to study in schools, from 1st grade on.
