Audit incoming............finally?
btw: Are there others who knew that the choice of the company name Amazon was promoting the plan for the world's domination by women? limp dick logo
Audit as much as they want. Bezos already left the company and divorced, when you have that much money, a divorce is not about relationship issues anymore. It's to compartmentalise your finances and protect them.
If there is something here, it's something quite deeper I believe.
Flaccid.
Guess the charities won’t be smiling.
Snort...
I saw that yesterday via email. (I had mine set to mikeroweworks - I never like being pushed in the Amazon direction, but there are certain items that just don't get stocked in brick and mortar anymore. So I figured if I am going to have to use it, someone should benefit. Anyway...) The email said over 10 years, it was $377M given. I was surprised because given their financial picture, I thought it would have been greater than roughly $40M per year. And once it was set up, what was the cost to run it? Not much. Something is up...
I think so too: something is up. With all the bigger companies announcing layoffs and then amz stopping the "smile." Too much coincidence.
Mine said $440 million worldwide. It's true they only give a pittance but it still pisses me off, that I don't have even that little choice in their corporate giving. Look at what they will be doing instead. Affordable housing. They've helped with 14,000 units. What kind? Were they making money with the providers, or will they be? Scholarships--for whom, at what schools, any strings attached? Food bank--ok, Amazon deals in lots of food and probably ends up with lots that has to be donated. I think this is all about simplifying their deductions and getting a return on wastage.
After ten years of complaints, they have no intention of changing their erection logo, either.
Note to Bezos and the bozos at amazon: a smile would have a little crease on BOTH ends. Your thing would actually instead be a smirk,....if it didn't look exactly like an erect phallus.
First box I saw I looked at and said "Why does this box have a penis on it? I ordered a sweater." I do not think that most people see it.
It's an arrow.
You harbor most wholesome thoughts.
It's only an arrow to you. When you find out all the big corporations and charities deal in child porn, it becomes more sinister in nature. Most of us here shed that naivete years ago.
