imo, this is the biggest problem with amazon (outside of worker issues)

Is that any different than Kirkland brand or Great Value brand or any other store brand in which they sell both the supplier's products and their own knockoff?

Why did Pete and Amy drop out when they did? More than anything, didn’t they just run out of campaign money? How much of that comes from direct voter support? How much comes from shady who-really-knows super pacs or whatever?

Bernie’s about as anti-corporatist as an American politician gets at the federal level, but bear in mind how many folks think Bernie is just too damn radical.

Will read the rest later, but the second paragraph is the answer to the first. They weren't out of money. They didn't want Trump to get another term. I'd guess Pete was also given the promise of a cabinet position.

Yes, the store brands do keep the prices of name brand stuff lower. And they have the ability to limit the shelf space of the competing brands. They don't because many people want the name brand thing.

New York workers just voted to organize the first Amazon worker’s union

Amazon spent over $4 million last year with consulting groups trying to fight unionization efforts

[TDub]

is that Biggie Wallace's alter ego

[ousdahl]

Lol

He’s the dood who organized Amazon workers.

“We want to thank Jeff Bezos for going to space because while he was up there we were organizing a union”

[ousdahl]

[Mjl]

Not surprising. Republicans realized they needed the rust belt so they stopped vilifying unions. Democratic stance has remained pro-union. So nobody is spreading anti-union crap any more (with a couple exceptions - teachers and police unions still get attacked).

[MICHHAWK]

the teachers unions deserve every bit of criticism thrown their way.

That's great, good for them, seems overdue.

[DrPepper]
