Amazon and Seattle tax
dimanche 5 mai 2019 à 02:00Amazon bullied Seattle into retracting a tax increase by threatening to abandon expansion plans there. Seattle caved in, but Amazon has cancelled the plans anyway.
Amazon is not merely an snooping abusive monopolist. It is a cheating snooping abusive monopolist. You shouldn't trust Amazon to keep a deal unless you get your benefit in advance.
This joins a host of other reasons for refusing to buy from Amazon.
I urge Seattle to reinstate that tax. In the long term, we need to teach these companies that we are the boss.
