Amazon Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Normal Guy Politics (@NormalGPolitics) reported@patrickbetdavid We need to check the Gov credit card bill for all of those Amazon purchases last month and have a sit down discussion In all seriousness the Gov is too big and too bloated and no one can afford anything until the Gov cuts spending, balances the budget and stops inflation
-
Tushant Suneja (@tushant_suneja) reported@wassie @inversebrah the framing is off here - these keychains solve a collector problem disguised as a mass market product, which is why they'll likely tank on amazon.
-
Onetoothwilly (@Onetoothwilly) reported@AzPetrich Tax him into oblivion to where he is poor. Then we can finally shut Amazon down and leave hundreds of thousands of people unemployed
-
Babbly (@nikstock32165) reportedI request Amazon 1)Conduct a proper investigation into this missing item issue! 2)Provide either the missing fan or a full refund for the undelivered item. 3)Review the handling of this case by the customer care representatives who ignored the issue instead of resolving it.

Ben (@drwoodle) reported@JeffBezos Don't get me wrong — I'm a capitalist. I want Amazon to succeed. I want the economy to be robust, resilient, and growing. But we have two huge problems: (1) inflation that needs either tax cuts or wage growth to offset, and (2) decades of fiscal policy failures that have driven us to $39 trillion in federal debt and $1 trillion in annual interest payments — now the third-largest line item in the federal budget, behind only Social Security and Medicare. The budget is nowhere near balanced. The deficit is running at roughly 5.8% of GDP while the economy is growing at ~2%. That's the textbook definition of an unsustainable path — debt-to-GDP rises every year by construction. So any reduction in tax revenue has to be made up somewhere. We can't keep widening the deficit as a share of GDP — that's not a real option, it's just deferred pain. My question: if this gains traction and becomes policy, who picks up the tab? The $200K–$1M W-2 earner segment is already where the wage-tax burden is most concentrated. The top 10% pays roughly 70% of all federal income tax, and that's heavily skewed toward salaried professionals — doctors, engineers, lawyers, mid-career tech and finance — because their income shows up on a W-2 with nowhere to hide. Loading more onto that group isn't fair, and it isn't even good policy: it's the most mobile, most productive slice of the labor force. Unless the proposal is closing loopholes and making the code more even-handed across all filer types — wage earners, pass-through owners, capital gains realizers — I can't support it. What I'd actually support: a simpler code. Flat tax. No loopholes. No income tax on the bottom half. One rate on the top half, applied equally to wage income, business income, and investment income. That's my starting point. Open to other solutions — we have a lot of smart people in this country. This is a solvable problem. We can have a better tax system.

Kasimir (@KasimirFreeman) reported@CNBC He is absolutely correct. Amazon services generate value for their clients and workers far exceeding any alleged surplus the owner gets to keep and mostly re-invests. Jeff Bezos' charity is the actual problem: just look at WAPO.
-
MN Roy Jr (@NatTurnerBuddha) reported@JeffBezos This will simply create more inflation. Landlords, grocery stores, Amazon Prime etc will just mark up their prices since they know people have more money. Similar issue to UBI. This is bad policy

Make ballot harvesting a felony. (@PhillipsNanl) reported@charlesdhmmr @CollinRugg GSoros money corrupts our judicial system. Read book License To Lie. It was written in 2014 i think. You won't put it down & will finish it in two days. Nonfiction at libraries & Amazon.
-
Jessica Barberi (@jessica_barberi) reported@DWARussell22 I am with you. I don't have a problem with making noise about it, but yeah Amazon is already flooded with it so best to just not support those books
-
Kolider (@ImKolider) reported@GreenBirbGirl I think the big issue (and near only) people see with him is just work ethic. Bad breaks, which is agree with, and low wages. Where i live you get paid between 18.50-22 dollars starting off at an Amazon warehouse and thats more than enough to live alone so I dont get that

dmitriy (@DmitriyLeybel) reported@mark_collins09 @rylzdigital Amazon does many things well, and a few inconsequential things poorly. The government seems to have the inverse problem.
-
Trevor Green (@trevogre) reported@TFTC21 Well, yeah, but you also do it by controlling costs which in the case of amazon means outsourcing, H1-Bs and all kinds of other methods that have resulted in destroying retail and the middle class. With begrudging a business its success you can still take issue with the methods that it used to get there. And Bezo's methods have been a disaster. He made money by winning the market against retail which paid real estate taxes and more broadly distributed work and create spaces that enhanced our quality of life. And he did it with vertical integration, hitting scale, and not making money for years to drive others out of business. And they continue to make billions for the top by treating American labor as a disposable cost. Not a fan.

hArIs (@kingharis) reported@JTCharles01 @Guy2Plain @eisingerj How much should we pay him when his wealth drops? If that's his true income, he should get massive refunds every year Amazon stock is down
-
The Holy Anointed (@Readpotato) reported@HeidiBriones Well, that is where they should cut spending. Stop buying expensive clothing from brands whose owners look down on the working class. Stop buying things from Amazon you don't vitally need. Enjoy the coffee.

مجد م. (@_majdm) reported@AmazonHelp Thank you for your reply, but this process does not work for my situation. The order made has been made on Nov 2025 and the issue shows up after using it after months. Also the box is opened.

Rock Chartrand🤑 (@RockChartrand) reported@BladeoftheS “If Bezos paid 41.7% there’d be money for everything” is fantasy math from people who treat paper wealth as annual taxable income. The 41.7% top marginal rate applies to realized income, not unrealized stock appreciation. If Amazon stock rises on paper, that is not the same thing as cash sitting in a checking account waiting to be seized. And even if you confiscated extreme wealth aggressively, the numbers still don’t work. The entire net worth of Americans over $10 million, stripped down to $500k each, would fund the current federal government for only around 7 to 8 years one time before the pool is exhausted. Meanwhile Bezos’s actual point here is something many redistributionists accidentally reveal they oppose: lowering the tax burden on ordinary people so they keep more of what they earn. The bottom half contributes a tiny share of federal income tax revenue already, yet the obsession remains “take more from Bezos” because the emotional focus is punishment at the top, not sustainable prosperity at the bottom.

Wny Poker (@wnypoker) reportedI found an issue with the Amazon pricing engine back end, anybody want to see me post other deals I found that are still sitting on the site? sooo.... this was kind of neat..... I snagged a couple of amazing one off Amazon deals on Case knife dealer displays.... I got 4 Case Knife dealer displays Each display has one of each shown knife in the front and 3 more of each inside the lockable display. Cost per display/knife dealer display was ~$80 for each complete set. Each case also has a glass front with a lock so that you can display the knives securely Let's do the math: 4 dealer displays * ~30 knives per display * $80 each display = freaking score Obviously a pricing error in the amazon back end, and no, no more remaining in stock on amazon Score......freakin' score.... heh.....

AtomicFox64 (@AtomicFox64) reportedThe only problem I have with the new #MastersOfTheUniverse movie is that of all studios, the one who had to make it was Amazon MGM Jeff Bezos can go **** himself 75 times over

Your lowkey favorite papi 🔫 (@YourPapiAntonio) reported@CNBC “I can do both, but I’m only choosing one” To be honest, I’m not really convinced billionaires continue to add any sort of value. These jobs, now that there is a demand for it, will be there whether it’s amazon doing it or some other company down the road.
-
Baron Von Garray (@BaronVonGarray) reported@JeffBezos How about we shut down Amazon for two years, reverse QE, and allow every small business that was put down to rebuild. seems like a great way to put money in more peoples pockets.
-
wizard (@Wizardgames15) reported@Saqib_hmed @lthlnkso @HasanabiProd Twitch is a net money sink. Idk how many ads hasan runs. I’m sure the subs are great. But twitch as a whole is the biggest piece of **** investment ever. Which is insane because Amazon has the server capacity and fiber lines to make it work.

maddyy (@localsweety) reportedit really is sad because the first two seasons of this were actually an anti-establishment critique of how the system is broken and somewhere down the line Amazon pulled the plug and completely lobotomized the show and gave it a life support budget.

Aric Goodman (@GoodmanAric) reported@acraftyalien @MrMidwit @StockSavvyShay Everyone in the delivery industry pisses in bottles some times. Just how it is. Not an Amazon only problem. As for working around the dead guy. Not actually accurate representation of what happened. Additionally, I work at UPS they are not shutting down the sort because someone dies up front. Do you just tell everyone to go home pay them for the day, tell the drivers not to show up, pay then also, and tell the 30k customers, sorry, doesn't matter that you paid for a service. Maybe if we are lucky we will catch up over the next 2 weeks. Don't be retarded. Yes Amazon is anti union, yes there DSP structure is a complete scam to shield them from liability. Lots of ****** things about Amazon. Make those claims not the stupid ones.

Yonan (@yonann) reportedThreadguy says he spent six months trying to understand earnings, then watched Amazon dump 10% and rip to ATH like none of it mattered "The one thing I’ve observed after following earnings over the last six months is that it’s always priced in" "Remember the $AMZN candle dips like 10%, and then it just rips back to ATH within an hour" "No one has any idea how to trade earnings news" "They beat, it goes down. They miss, it goes down. And then sometimes it will just go up for no reason"

Ken Adams (@Kenaadams99) reported@JeffBezos Easy to say when you're worth $200B. Who pays for roads, defense, and basic services then? The middle class gets squeezed AGAIN. If you really want to help the bottom half, pay your workers enough so they don't need public assistance. 48% of Amazon workforce on food stamps isn't a tax problem. It's a wage problem.
