let's start by nationalizing Amazon.
No, start by nationalizing SpaceX. Then we can deliver packages REALLY FAST.
I actually want my package in one piece tho.
eh.... best I can do is dejoy delivery sometime in the next decade
I'd rather have it be cut up into a bunch of little companies.
God, no, nationalize it.
why would that be better
it would allow for a more efficient and streamlined delivery service alongside better regulated sale of goods and proper quality checking and consumer protections that most people moan about the lack of, which would not be fixed just by monopoly busting
nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined
consumer protections can be implemented with regulations
edit: if you wanna silently downvote me, say why
Oh, I didn't downvote you. Others did, government corporations by themselves don't act like monopolies because they do not prioritise money but instead influence and power, you wouldn't need predatory tactics to keep people using your state owned solutions and a government wouldn't employ predatory tactics to beat down on competitors, if it truly was meant only for the government then it would have private investment into the field made illegal.
Just burn it to the ground. It's just consumerism.
But how will people get their daily dose of treats then????
It's absolutely gonna feel like a 100 years. FML....
We'd be better off rebuilding it all from scratch with an economic system that actually works for the people this time.
Monopoly laws should prevent retarded shit like this.
how? for more than half of the US fedex, ups, and for ~ two places dhl exist. vertical integration isn't prevented by anti-trust or monopoly laws.
The USPS is important because of rural and remote places that would otherwise completely lack mail services for even just sending tax to the government.
Those poor drivers are already overworked and underpaid. I can only imagine what hell they’d go through having to also deliver normal mail.
this is just more indication of destroying the society. Where I want to live starts with a seat of government, followed by post, followed by libraries, followed by education.
Damn, sucks to be FedEx and UPS. Spending millions in lobbying for decades only to get the snub by Mango Mussolini.
So the plan is to replace all the union jobs with contractors that don't get benefits, are filmed on the job at all times, and to have the hiring organization control all power of negotiation.
Fucking great. Let's do it. Make america poor again. Time to go back to the 1800s guys.
Fuck Jeff Bezos.
What a treasure trove of data they’ll collect on us all. I hate this timeline
Stupid people news.
