Gamestop shall destroy Amazon.
Teddy shall destroy Amazon.
Yep, that's what I meant. So many different consumer areas under "Teddy".
Teddy?
Theoretically, the umbrella company being built behind the scenes by the good guys.
Sears, GameStop, BuyBuyBaby, Blockbuster, RiteAid, PartyCity, and a bunch more speculated to be involved. Companies that were driven out of business by the corrupt hedge funds, some of which are now called "zombie stocks."

I hope Toys R Us finds a way into that.
The bastards.
That is some kind of post.
Wild!
There are some things I like about amazon and don’t. I wish they would allow us to filter by country of origin. I would like to keep my dollars stateside for things I can’t find locally.
People tell me there’s a way to do this but I haven’t found any capability on the site. I would use a “Made In USA” button every time I shopped there if I could.
eBay and the dollar stores started it all. eBay with cheap knock offs and ease of purchasing imported goods without going through a freight forwarder, minimal customs etc.
The dollar stores did a HUGE amount of damage to local businesses and people who make things for a living. On it's face, you'd think, well hey... Woolworths and other 5 and dime stores closed up... they're just filling the void in the good old American 5&10, right? Wrong.
Dollar stores selling stupid cheap imported goods gave rise to hoarding. Instead of little Johnny just having a regular birthday party with regular paper plates and white napkins, now he's getting the whole ensemble... matching plates, cups, balloons, a banner etc etc and whatever Chinese trinket he wants in a color coordinated gift bag...Why? Because it's stupid cheap and Hallmark is way too expensive. Well what's wrong with that? I want to go all out for my kid too!
On it's face, nothing...but the problem is, PERCEPTION. Everything is so cheap that people just hoard things AND their reference/index of what things should cost are now in relation to all these cheap imported goods... same with eBay... same with Amazon... and same with practically everywhere now, because margins are razor thin and the cost if raw materials so high, the only way to turn a profit is to peddle imported bullshit. Since VERY few do ANYTHING productive or with their hands, their value of a dollar is now extremely warped.
Now take someone who lives in the USA and fabricates, build's and makes various products you might find in a typical store. They have to pay top dollar for materials, consumables in the mfg process, taxes, insurance, licensing etc that ding dongs cranking out similar, lower quality, but good enough warez in bare feet and not even safety glasses don't have to adhere to. Take a simple cutting board as an example...Dime a dozen in Costco, an absolute fortune by an artisan that doesn't really net that much for his efforts.
So the problem started with dollar stores... and our govt has done little or nothing to protect hard working Americans who work their asses off, running their own gig. Yanno... the kind of gig where you gotta pay into disability and workers comp, but can NEVER collect it yourself? It costs more to ship anything one town over than it does to get the same weight in an "e-packet" from China. BTW fuck Obongo and you didn't build that... Anyway... Few people have ANY clue what it's like to run your own gig right now. The deck is stacked hard against everything you do... and some if us can't work for the machine and don't have any other choice.
I heard a while back that Trump was going to put a 60% tarriff on Chinese goods to help Americans. As much as I enjoy some of the cheap imports myself, since there's honestly no way to be 100% on supporting domestic goods, I think that would really help manufacturing here. But something needs to give because the imports are too cheap, domestics are too expensive and our dollar ain't worth shit. I still refuse to buy an imported vehicle...
Son of a family of hoarders here.
You're wrong.
Hoarding is a compulsive "Don't throw that away, I NEED that!" mentality, regardless of what it is or how much it costs.
Until they were destroyed by flooding, my grandmother had SIX coffee makers STILL in their original packaging. Because "What if I NEED them?!"
My father has a weight set still in its original packaging. From 1986. Stamped. Because "What if I NEED it?!"
My dad’s parents were killed by a drunk driver when he was 12. He hoards and it took me so long to realize the connection. He also lost everything they owned because his parents didn’t have a will.
I know I can’t imagine! I have 2 sons. My dad had a brother and my two boys remind me of him and his brother in that they’re little shits. But it breaks my heart to think of what my dad went through as a pretty young boy. I see my two boys and I pray nothing happens to me while they’re young. He didn’t have his father to teach him crucial things. He has his faults but by and large he’s a wonderful man who did the best he could raising us. He’s actually the first one of us to discover Q. He found YouTube videos back in Dec of 2017, so super early on in the movement. So he also started hoarding food now!
Interesting. I do not hoard and I have a lot neglect, abandonment, and so on. I am not an expert but I am one who been thru it. I left everything behind. I had just enough money to buy a one way plane ticket to the other side of the country.
That might be a key I suppose. In the Bible Jesus tells those to in a way do that and follow Him.
For ever the kids only saw bare walls in the house. My wife is the same way. She too left everything behind. At the moment we found going to an estate sale and buy what someone else designed worked out for getting some stuff on the wall. The key is finding an estate sale that had someone with the same taste as you.
Thank you. I do appreciate it. I am on the eve of my surgery tomorrow and reading posts and stuff keeps me from thinking about the inevitable tomorrow.
Bravery at times does sound good, I do not think I am brave. I have always loved people and want to help people. When I was young my dream was to search for kidnapped kids-i have experienced being kidnapped too.
That dream never manifested. With what I see in that world now it might be a world with a short life expectancy. I would not bend the knee to evil if I had authority over a child being hurt and many would call that a risk.
Thank you for the- kind words. God is the greatest. I have everything I asked for. Maybe not at the time I wanted it but that goes with it.
Yeah sorry about the hoarding illness, but that's not the type of hoarding I was referring to. Maybe there's another word that defines the cavalier grabbing of cheap shit because it's cheap and while you certainly don't NEED it, you feel rich and powerful in your little world being able to buy whatever you want in every color... JUST BECAUSE it's cheap.
I call that hoarding...there are many kinds of hoarding or whatever word more accurately describes what I just said. You get your money for nothing and your chips for free...oh no wait, that's first if the month EBT activity while working stiffs like me pay full retail...🙄🙄🙄
Compulsive shopping disorder?
That's nice and all but you're actually only half correct. Hoarding is defined more as unnecessary use or possession of finite resources which creates scarcity in a general sense, which as of what his context, and yours as well, qualifies for that definition. Don't cherry pick shit
For much of what is sold at the dollar stores (now 1.25+ in my area), you get what you pay for. It might look the same, but in many cases it ain't the same. Another thing stocked at dollar stores are liquated products that failed at retail, they were bought up on the cheap. In any case, it is a bunch of inferior stuff. Sure, much of it useable, but not necessarily durable or long lasting. You get what you pay for at those stores. The quality isn't there for much of the product. Corners are cut wherever possible. The other trick is portion size. Many products and consumables are only cheaper there because you get MUCH less of it in the package.
Why doesnt Amazon have any liability for the products it sells but a store like Target does have liability for all products on its shelves?
Amazon was/is the Globalists attempt at controlling the movements of all goods bought and sold Universally. In the future, consumers should be informed how much of their money used to purchase a service or product is leaving the economy of their Nation.
When brick and mortar charge me almost double the Amazon price I will always choose Amazon. Brick and mortar need to price more closely and then i will choose brick and mortar. Personal care products are so much more where I live.
a lot of us have done this and now all of our brick and mortar stores are gone. Sears, JCPenney, TrueValue, etc., all left the mall and the area, just gone. now most of what our mall holds are places that sell antiques and junk like that.
Yup. My area has been absolutely cleaned out of department stores and malls. Many of them have been torn down and turned into distribution centers.
yep, giving us no other alternative BUT to buy from places like Walmart and Amazon. all by design.
Totally agree. I hate Amazon for this reason and most of my friends dont get it
At the cost of physical locations. What happens when Amazon doesn't like your politics and refuses service? Being convenient isnt what makes life great. I'm not judging you or anyone I'm just pointing out hard truth
My daughter is an Amazon seller. If she starts doing too well on a product, they’ll shut her off, demanding all sorts of answers to questions that make no sense about the product. They make it so hard to figure out the system, to succeed she has to hire people to create the listing, fix keywords, and help solve problems. It’s basically designed for people to fail.
That’s like asking will “The Storm come for the CIA?”
Ya, this video is practically CLICKBAIT. Nothing in this video exposes Jeff Bezos. So there's some algorithm that Amazon has where if you sell your product for a lower price outside of Amazon, they will hide the add to cart / buy now button on your listing. (Allegedly)
Amazon is a mega-company, Bezos doesn't call all the shots, especially not now. The guy being interviewed says "Amazon is a good company, great people, with some bad policies."
Sorry but this thing is clickbait. The actual content is WAY softer than the title and the thumbnail.
I'm not saying Amazon is perfect by any stretch. Just saying this is clickbait, which I don't appreciate.
I'm gonna go shop on Amazon now. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I hope so. The bastards sell so much counterfeit shit it's unbelievable
The third party vendor selling is disastrous or has been for me. I didn't know there was such a thing. Then, once I knew of it, I watched for it to see if the desired product was worth risking buying it. I got taken and notifying Amazon as I was instructed to do, I never received the product nor any follow up from Amazon. Now I don't chance it. I believe if a company sells something 'under' it's name, then it should be responsible for tracking the item and the people it allows to sell through them. I guess places like Ebay sell this way and it's why I don't use them. It's been frustrating to from shopping malls, big box stores, plenty of local mom and pop shops to having to order on line. Whatever happened to customer service??!!
Mystore seems to be coming along OK.
New business with a better idea, or better model has always displaced old business that is no longer nimble. This is they way of markets.
I shopped more at a mom and pop as they were sinking. Spent more but I was the only one. Long time ago. They are now dead, so the same outcome in life no matter what.
The storm came for Amazon on hiway 10 in Los Angeles today
