Mister J. 💀📼👽 (@TheJoker) reported@jacktronprime @therealKripke @TheBoysTV You got'em! You should send this to Amazon. Hit Bezos up directly if you can and explain this glaring error! Maybe we can get you set up on some speaking tours at film programs around the country. Can you please send over some of your scripts for representation?

kooQlarue (@Overreport369) reported@CHASMIL75801620 @Amys_a_Vibe Yeah, she’s a moron. She thinks because you sold merchandise to other patriots that that’s a sin. If it were up to me, every person that sat in my chair would be a Patriot. I guess you think it’s OK to get on there and sell Tupperware and to ask people to donate on Amazon because somebody’s moving into somebody else’s RV. People are so crazy Miller. I took down all those videos because we don’t need to keep it going. I just wanted you to know that we wish you were back on TikTok but then you’ll have all these women who are going through menopause reporting your account just like they do mine.

Edward Tadros (@edtadros) reported@eurofounder He still needs them to buy stuff from Amazon. Taxes should be stripped to the bare minimum for everyone and government should learn to budget. They are terrible thieving non-stewards of our money.

Rebecca Fishbein (@bfishbfish) reported@nathan4823 Like, if someone in not particularly fancy Crown Heights, Brooklyn needs to order their groceries on Amazon because the regular Foodtown is now crazy overpriced, that's a problem.

Ness_and_Sonic (@Ness_and_Sonic) reported@VoidNulled @UltraTerm I just looked at DRR5 prices on Amazon and 64 gigs is still higher than what I paid for them them years ago. Lowest price I could find so quickly was about $700. Not going down and it doesn't help Micron left the market.

Mac Davis (@mac1davis) reported@MoundLore Sadly, Sears shut down its catalogue 2 years before Amazon went online. With a little boardroom vision and CEO drive, they could have beaten Amazon to the punch. I bet they could have figured out the "last mile" delivery problem decades before Amazon.

Tom S (@TomSwartz296286) reported@kasthomas Just stop shopping on Amazon. Problem solved.

Armiustav (@Armiustav) reported@therealshadyun1 It’s crazy how much they control as it is. Like far too many sites use Amazon too which is why when AWS goes down a lot of the internet goes with it, terrifying stuff
-
EdFatherOfCats (@EdFatherOfCats) reported@troyscats @JSzimanous55923 Go into apps. Go into to the Amazon app and clear the cache. That might fix it.
-
Geoff Pomerantz (@gpmrntz) reported@KatiePavlich The problem is less the rates, and more that people like @JeffBezos cheat or otherwise enjoy a rigged system. He enjoys 100s of millions, if not billions - TAX FREE because he borrows against his Amazon shares. Also, the FICA tax is a regressive tax that benefits the wealthy
-
David M (@McclurgDave) reported@ClayTravis @JeffBezos @CNBC $2T federal deficit this year. GAO: $186B+ improper payments + hundreds of billions in annual fraud/waste. WaPo wins Pulitzer attacking DOGE for trying to cut it? That's not journalism — it's protecting the bloat. Bezos preaches Amazon efficiency but cheers this? Come on. Fix the waste first.
-
saiyar (@saiyar) reportedAmazon has brought prices down massively, including no need to put wear and tear or use gas driving to stores to find what you want. What exactly are you complaining about? He’s massively successful. Unaffordability is an inflation problem. Go blame your govt. Bezos has nothing to with that. If you just want to redistribute wealth from him and others like him, just say you want a wealth tax.

Mia Hernandez (@MiaHernannyDez) reported@YaboiiTese @ClownWorld 1 isn't a man, its a biological female (hence the titties and girl face) 2. white people aren't mad, they are laughing or they are confused because it sucks and is disgusting to see what you are bringing the nation down to. 3 the money is amazon fake money with a few real.

Cole (@colepulse) reportedif you work at meta, google, amazon, or any large tech company, internalize this now you can be cut at any moment, regardless of performance, regardless of profit, regardless of loyalty meta posted record profits and cut 8,000 people anyway the cut is a budget decision made three levels above you, it has almost nothing to do with your value here's how to be ready before it happens instead of after build a runway keep 6-12 months of expenses in accessible cash rather than locked in investments the people who panic-accept bad offers are the ones with no buffer a runway turns a layoff from a crisis into an inconvenience keep a brag doc every project, every metric, every win, documented the week it happens you will not remember the details when you're updating your resume under stress it's the highest-leverage 10 minutes a month you can spend keep your network warm the job you land after a layoff comes from people who already know you reaching out cold the week you're cut is too late grab coffee with 2 people a month while you're employed and don't need anything from them don't let the tools make you soft if ai writes all your code and you've lost the ability to debug without it, you've made yourself easier to replace stay sharp on the fundamentals that make you hard to cut build one income stream outside your job freelance, a small product, consulting, anything you don't have to quit, you just need to make sure one company never controls your entire income drop the loyalty math the company will not be loyal to you, they've already shown you that treat the relationship as a transaction with an exit clause, the same way they do the people who survive layoffs emotionally are the ones who never confused a job with a family the layoffs aren't slowing down the only real protection is being the person who's already ready before the email arrives at 4am

Keifer Street (@KeiferStreet) reported@yesdog96 @rhykker Disagree. The store shuts down to basically become an Amazon Distribution Center, most people lose their jobs. I felt it was a bit depressing.

The Conservative Read (@theconread) reportedJeff Bezos blasts New York City's wasteful spending and inefficient far-left government, saying how terrible Amazon would be if he ran the company the same way NYC runs its schools. "If we ran Amazon the way NYC runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee & when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it." New York City's total budget for the 2025-26 school year was $44.6 billion, while students continue to perform below the national average on the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Rebecca Fishbein (@bfishbfish) reported@nathan4823 Ok but like if we're at the point where I have to order spaghetti and pasta sauce on Amazon because it's cheaper than going to the supermarket, we have a problem.

Andrew Dunlap (@andrewdunlap) reported"Buy local" might be the worst-branded good idea in America. It sounds like a bumper sticker, a farmers market thing, or a tote bag virtue. So people nod, feel mildly guilty, and click Amazon anyway. Here's what buying local actually is, as the most self-interested thing you can do: When you buy from a Virginia company, the owner pays Virginia taxes that fund your roads and your kid's school. They bank with a Virginia bank that lends to your neighbor's business. They hire Virginia people who spend their paycheck at the Virginia restaurant down the street from you. They sponsor your daughter's lacrosse team. When you buy from an out-of-state alternative, the margin leaves, goes to a shareholder in California, a fund in New York, a holding company in Delaware. It does not come back. A dollar spent locally bounces around through your ecosystem four, five, six times before it leaves. A dollar spent nationally leaves on the first bounce. Multiply that across a region, across a decade. That is the difference between a town that compounds and a town that gets hollowed out. This is not charity. It is not sentiment. It is not a tote bag. It is you, quietly building the place your kids will inherit.

Tom M. (@smonter42) reported@FlintDibble You have no idea what you’re talking about, despite having some problems Amazon has been a net good for society. You whine about billionaires without realizing that they don’t hold that money in cash it’s invested in the companies that employ millions of people

NaiveAnalyst (@naiveanalyst7) reportedJeff Bezos’s comment reminds me of the multiple headlines that circulated earlier this year, all pointing to how Amazon paid 87% less in federal taxes for FY2025, dropping from $9.04B to $1.22B, despite U.S. pretax income growing 44.5%, from $61.95B to $89.54B (in green), largely thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Not saying the headline is wrong. But it’s deeply misleading for anyone not used to reading income statements and tax footnotes. Yes, Amazon paid only $1.22B in current U.S. federal taxes in 2025, down from $9.04B in 2024 (in yellow). That’s the number everyone ran with. But the number nobody talked about is the deferred U.S. federal tax line, which swung from negative ($4.1B) in 2024 to positive $11.1B in 2025 (in red). What does that mean? The 2025 Tax Act reinstated 100% accelerated depreciation on qualified property, retroactive to January 20, 2025. Amazon front-loaded massive tax deductions today, compressing current taxable income, but created an equally massive deferred tax liability that will unwind in coming years, when those deductions are exhausted and taxable income rises accordingly. The number that actually reflects Amazon’s true economic tax burden for 2025 is the total provision for income taxes: $19.09B, up from $9.26B in 2024 (in red) an increase of 106%. The effective tax rate is 9.6% on $97.3B of pretax income, barely below the 21% statutory rate. Still learning. Still sharing. $AMZN

Susan Zhang (@suchenzang) reported@abelianraisin not all distribution or illusion of distribution is created equal and not all investments into growth becomes an immediately depreciating asset if you can stuff a budget version of amazon's entire value-prop onto your laptop in a few months time, then amazon would also have a pretty big problem

Selwin Kolge (@KolgeSelwin) reported@AmazonHelp Still couldn’t solve the issue? Still didn’t keep your promise to deliver by EOD? I will no longer use your services.
