yeah gently caress amazon especially for trying to tell publishers they cant overcharge me

you see the publishers are isis and amazon is the kurds. independent book sellers are those villages in the middle where everyone gets beheaded.

i'm crazy Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and I just cant stop slashing prices!!!

Small business owners are actually subhuman garbage and America's vanguard on the quest to sell out everyone and everything for a dollar. I support Amazon in utterly destroying them. nothing of value was lost.

i think obama should declare that anyone who is a coal worker in any of those coal places will be paid a living wage until they find a new means to support themselves and then he should just ban coal mining

Coal miners make top-of-pay-scale money in the areas they work in. A coal miner in West Virginia makes more than a professor at WVU.

pay them whatever they make now then

the usps is publicly controlled, entirely self-funded (none of your taxes pay for it) and works better than any of the private carriers. you have literally nothing to complain about here.

grow up

I would happily pay taxes for it if that means no more trash delivery

in canada they are slowly phasing out home delivery in favour of putting in those big community mailboxes

bitch all you want about usps but if they ever start losing money have fun fighting them when they put one of those communal mailboxes on your front lawn and you come home to piles of junk mail all around it

(luckily for me i'm next to an apartment building so they'll probably put the mailbox beside that but other people in older, densely packed neighbourhoods are pretty hosed)

Lol i can't remember living anywhere that didn't have communal mailboxes.
