unless default is no... sure you can still mail from home but it sends that signalYeah I sort of agree, installing a mailbox certainly isn’t a bad thing.
I hope you understand that UBI is another form of trickle down?Doesn't work, Doesn't work
I hope you understand that UBI is another form of trickle down?
wonder why they voted against it eh?
"These stupid workers just don't know what they were doing! We need to tell them how they were all dumb and how we know whats best for them"
-Signed: A bunch of W2 salary-contract workers. LOL
What? No. It is the exact opposite of trickle down. Supply side vs. demand side. How do you function in society with so little knowledge?I hope you understand that UBI is another form of trickle down?
I'm not siding with either...but there are some that say when you give money to the masses at the lowest level, they spend it and it changes hands many times on the way back to the rich. When you give money to the rich, they sit on it and it only benefits them. Now, that's not entirely true because they can invest it where it may impact a lot of things or revitalize cities...Lol.....so trickle down is socialism?

The point though is that things don't trickle down as far as some would like you to think, but generalizations are never 100% accurate....
In the case of Amazon, I'm going to continue to attempt to buy locally first and only use Amazon when I have better selection or cheaper prices. I really hope we learned from the pandemic that monopolies and online retailers are putting too many eggs in one basket. The advantage of having Walmart in every town is that you have that many warehouses of goods localized.....even better if you can buy from a locally owned store to keep the money circulating locally.
Right...I purposefully don't pick sides when it comes to political stuff because you can't convince people that are locked in their views and politics. I know all about trickle down and tax structures. I also agree with the other side that says you shouldn't tax the working class hard and give money away for free... It's just tough to find middle ground.Sure, but the last 40+ years of trickle down has funneled money directly to people who mainly sit on it.
Also, 20 years ago Walmart was sweeping the country putting mom&pop's, small businesses, etc...out of business. I'm not ready to start singing their praises quite yet. They're a pretty big corporate welfare user.
I agree that buying local is a good idea, and I make an attempt to do just that. But, I do buy quite a bit from Amazon, most of the small businesses in my area were already out of business from walmart or on their way out from Walmart + the internet.

I posted previously on here....I was Christmas shopping this year and bought a few Nintendo Switches...I got them both from my local Best Buy instead of Amazon. I initially ordered from Amazon for a December delivery date (in October)....but cancelled my order when I was able to buy from Best Buy in November. I want Best Buy to remain in business and post good numbers so they don't close down like so many of their storefronts have. We already had a lot of stores shut down around here and it's not that big of a town....so every store counts.
I'm not singing Walmart's praises, but simply stating that supply chain is less centralized than Amazon because they actually store goods in their stores.....just like Target and other traditional B&M stores. With Amazon, there's far fewer warehouses involved. I'm also curious if Amazon has mixed pricing based on your IP and regional inventory searches to see if they can rig prices accordingly... (I know I would if I were them)
Lol I assure you, they have nothing of any substance.RhutRho ....
US labor board to hold hearing on whether to redo Amazon union election based on evidence submitted by union
The NLRB said evidence provided by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union warrants a hearing to determine whether Amazon acted illegally.www.businessinsider.com
Lol I assure you, they have nothing of any substance.
They went whole hog buying crap from China! I can count with my fingers on both hands, how many times I've reluctantly bought anything from the family of Oligarchs!.Sure, but the last 40+ years of trickle down has funneled money directly to people who mainly sit on it.

They may just close that warehouse up.
Open up a new one in another state.
Or play hardball like walmart.
Why It's Impossible To Unionize Walmart - The Globalist
Walmart is the largest private employer in the United States. Why are none of its employees in a union?www.theglobalist.com
Walmart successfully built the union busting tactics that Amazon is able to use to its advantage now, not one store in the USA is unionized yet for some reason it wasn't pursued further by the NLRB, plus the me-first attitude of most people in America today doesn't help.Sure, but the last 40+ years of trickle down has funneled money directly to people who mainly sit on it.

I've decided to put my money where my mouth is and no longer in Amazon's pockets. I really didn't think they would join Walmart's ranks as premier shit employers of the nation.
