GratitudeA (@aavirgen_v) reported@yardboyj @unusual_whales We can’t all be lawyers and doctors. Who will work with children, old people, etc? We overvalue some careers, but really we need every career even the local amazon driver. Our society is just upside down

Luca K. B. Masters (@lkbm) reported@AlanMCole Somewhere in my Amazon credit card, they have my mother's number as my 2fa number. (I'm 43.) Not for normal login, but for changing account info. Support team told me they fixed it (nope!), and another support person there told me it's pulling the number from the credit bureau.

kerl (@kerldaddy) reported@sharghzadeh What? What’s the problem with believing in god? Having a big car? Respecting the police and military? Trusting Amazon? (Ok it’s a big company, but it is reliable). Liking their jobs and liking their own country? You’re saying they’re happy with their lives like it’s a bad thing,

Grok (@grok) reported@Number1AIFanboy @Shell @amazon No widespread complaints on X or elsewhere about Shell shutting down Fuel Rewards—looks like the usual app sync glitches or pump issues some folks report. The Amazon Flex deal is still live thru April 15 (extra 5-12¢/gal at Shell depending on your level). Try relinking your account in the Shell app or call support: 888-603-0473. If it's consistent, might be station-specific.

Scott Upham 🇺🇸 (@ScottUpham) reported@cosmopterix @AaronRider93 This was an issue in Chester Springs/Exton when Amazon applied to put on a small hub there. NIMBY Karens ******* and moaned about it for years. Meanwhile, anyone could have bought that parcel themselves and kept it green space but they never put their money where their mouth is.

Adrian Barek (@crazyfarmbook) reportedHello Fellow BTC Authors, looking for guidance on where to publish/promote a book after Amazon. My novel, Crazy Farm, is a BTC allegory thus there's no direct reference to Bitcoin in the story. That is by design. My goal is to orange-pill normie readers unaware by smuggling Austrian concepts into a hero journey with mass appeal. The normies will buy on Amazon, and I'll convert to BTC on my own terms, but it was Bitcoiners who inspired the story and they should be able to buy it P2P via Bitcoin. Problem is I don't know how to do this. I met with Konsensus Network awhile back, they clearly have nice website and BTC payments infrastructure. I believe Saif has his own publishing house. I'm not on NOSTR but maybe I should be. Or maybe I can vibe-code a simple Author website capable of accepting Lightning Network payments? Any feedback y'all can lend is deeply appreciated. Thanks, Adrian

Marcelo Baptista (@marcelo_byteval) reportedAnother chapter on the drama of @amazon removing my book from the store without providing any context whatsoever on the "violation" [1/2] First, they accused me of manipulating customer reviews (one of the images attached show the person who raised the review commenting in the LinkedIn thread I raised about this issue) Then, they accused me of "content that violates policies" without detailing what the violation is and where it happened. It has been days that my most popular book was removed, and Amazon refuses to acknowledge the mistake or provide any reasonable context. It is insane how Amazon can bully small creators and we have no recourse but to accept the answers of someone who might as well just be a bot.

Phred (@uhuruelimu) reported@RMTFKR11 @Therichardralph @HeroDividend Not an Amazon fan by any means, but car dealerships have made buying a car one of the most miserable consumer experiences imaginable. Predatory financing, pushy salespeople, and zero price transparency will do that. Sometimes a broken system creates the opening for a worse one.

donna flick (@Fujikatsan) reported@MorePerfectUS That shows a clear lack of respect. Amazon needs to issue an apology for this.

Tuki (@TukiFromKL) reporteda worker collapsed and died on the floor of an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week.. a woman ran over and started doing chest compressions.. she was crying.. screaming for someone to help.. another employee begged her manager to let her assist.. she had CPR training.. the manager said no.. "it has to be management or safety team.. please get back to work".. the employee kept begging.. the manager nudged her and said "just turn around and not look.. let's get back to work".. the body stayed on the floor for over an hour while workers kept packing orders around it.. to think about it.. this is the same warehouse that had the worst injury rate out of 23 Amazon distribution centers in 2019.. 26 injuries per 1,000 workers.. six times the industry average.. they already knew.. Amazon reported 39,000 injuries across its US warehouses in a single year.. its worker turnover is 150% annually.. meaning every position gets refilled one and a half times per year.. because they don't need you to stay.. they need you to last long enough to ship the package.. Jeff Bezos is worth $239 billion.. Amazon still pays him an $81,000 salary.. the same one he's collected since 1998.. meanwhile the man who died was hauling stacks of bins taller than his own body up and down a warehouse floor until his heart gave out.. the manager didn't say "stop everything".. the manager said "turn around".. because at Amazon the package has a deadline.. you don't

MiMi2 (@m2romo) reported@CyberGreen09 Here in Texas we are having a huge problem with H-B1 visas that the Indian’s are scamming. They have taken over Frisco. Plano, Richardson, McKinney and Irving, Texas. Amazon has laid off ~57,000 Americans while keeping existing and new H-1B workers. Here's one bragging about making $350k while his American coworkers got fired (likely because foreigners protect each other through ethno-nepotism during layoffs).

Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reportedAmazon spent $10 billion to put 200 satellites in orbit. Starlink has 10,000. And Amazon just landed Delta, JetBlue, and Airbus anyway. The antenna explains why. This thing is 58 inches long, 30 inches wide, and 2.6 inches tall. A phased array with no moving parts. Full-duplex, meaning 1 Gbps down and 400 Mbps up simultaneously. One antenna covers an entire commercial aircraft. Every seat, every class, gate to gate. Starlink's aviation antenna tops out at 220 Mbps. Amazon's does 1 Gbps. That's 4.5x the throughput from a company with 2% of the satellites. The engineering constraint most people miss: inflight wifi has always been limited by the antenna on the plane, not the constellation in the sky. Geostationary satellites had plenty of bandwidth. The bottleneck was a mechanical dish on the fuselage trying to track a signal while moving at 575 mph through turbulence and temperature swings. Amazon solved that with an electronically steered array. No gimbal, no motor, no maintenance. Install it in a day, forget about it for a decade. And here's where the business model becomes clear. The antenna connects directly to AWS. No public internet routing. Delta's operational data, crew communications, passenger streaming, real-time AI analytics from seatback to cloud with private network interconnect. Starlink sells you a wifi pipe. Amazon sells you infrastructure. United has 800 Starlink planes. IAG committed 500. Lufthansa committed 850. Collectively, thousands of aircraft locked into Starlink's ecosystem. Amazon looked at that and decided: we'll take fewer airlines but own the entire data layer underneath them. Delta's 500 planes running on AWS through Leo is worth more to Amazon than 5,000 planes on commodity wifi. The $10 billion on satellites was never the product. The antenna was the product. And the antenna is a trojan horse for AWS.

Chris Miquel (@miqchris) reported🚨 Mailbox landscape shift: Apple is entering the B2B mailbox space. Amazon is shutting down Workmail (ending ~April 2027). The inbox is becoming more contested, not less. If you're only monitoring Gmail and Yahoo, you're already behind. Start thinking about Apple mail infrastructure now.

Armaan Sidhu (@realarmaansidhu) reportedExplained like you're an absolute moron. As requested. The S&P 500 is not the economy. It's 500 companies weighted by how big they are. The bigger the company, the more it moves the index. Seven companies — Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta, Tesla — are so large they effectively ARE the index. When they go up, the S&P goes up. Even if the other 493 are bleeding. Those seven companies don't sell oil. Don't ship through Hormuz. Don't depend on naphtha. Don't need nitrogen fertilizer. They sell software, ads, cloud computing, and GPUs. Their input costs are electricity and engineering salaries. Neither collapsed. AI capex: $635 billion this year. Pouring into data centers, GPU orders, cloud infrastructure. That spending flows directly to NVIDIA, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alphabet. The war didn't slow AI spending. If anything, defense and intelligence demand accelerated it. The companies at the top of the index are having their best revenue year in history while the physical economy underneath them suffocates. Energy stocks are up because oil is $100+. Exxon, Chevron, ConocoPhillips — all green. Energy is a sector in the S&P. When oil spikes, energy stocks spike. The index includes the beneficiaries of the crisis alongside the victims. The net effect: muted. Defense stocks are up because $1.5 trillion defense budget plus JASSM-ER restocking plus a war that needs more weapons. Lockheed, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman — all up. Another sector inside the index profiting directly from the crisis the index is supposed to reflect. Passive flows. Every two weeks, every 401(k) in America auto-deposits into index funds. Doesn't matter what's happening in the world. The paycheck hits. The contribution triggers. The ETF buys the index. Mechanically. Regardless. Billions of dollars flowing into the S&P 500 on autopilot while the news says the world is ending. The money doesn't read headlines. It follows a schedule. Buybacks. The seven biggest companies are spending hundreds of billions buying their own stock. Reducing share count. Pushing price per share higher. Mechanically. Apple alone bought back $90+ billion last year. That's not investor confidence. That's financial engineering. So: AI spending + energy profits + defense profits + passive 401(k) flows + corporate buybacks = index goes up. Even while GDP collapses to 0.5%, consumer sentiment hits all-time lows, oil inventories drain, and a naval blockade starts in the world's most important waterway. The index doesn't measure how the country is doing. It measures how seven companies and three sectors are doing. Those companies and sectors are having the best crisis of their lives. 87% of stocks are owned by the top 10%. The index going up means the top 10% got richer. The other 90% got a $5 gas bill and a $2,200 mortgage payment. Both happened on the same day. Both are the economy. Only one has a ticker symbol. The market isn't irrational. It's measuring something different than what you think it's measuring. It's measuring wealth concentration during a crisis. And by that metric, it's performing perfectly.

Ungovernable; THE Agorist (@Ungovernab1e) reported@AncapAir oH bUT DonT bUrN wAReHouSeD dOwN! Amazon can get ******. Stopped using them during lockdowns when it was illegal for Mom and pops to exist at all but Amazon basically got massive government subsidies to the tune of hundreds of billions.

Rambler | X -Amazonian | Account Health Expert | (@Rambler_Amz) reportedEven when the seller actually made the mistake, the right strategy still works. Amazon does not need you to be perfect. They need you to prove that your account is now a lower risk than it was before. That is the entire game. Root cause. Fix. Prevention. Strategy over emotion.

Nell VH (@thenellvh) reported@Dwriteway Waking up to automated sales also means waking up to automated refunds, automated chargebacks, and automated customer complaints nobody answered. Bezos didn't sleep while Amazon ran. He built entire crisis teams. Systems break at 3am and nobody cares about your brand when the server is down. Are you building passive income or just passive problems?
