Bezo's private wealth has gone up from ~$110bn to ~$185bn in 2020, and the amount of commerce that has gone through Amazon and other companies that have invested in online marketplaces has skyrocketed. As the supply chains continue to improve here, and people simply become more comfortable with ordering online - what reason do they have to go to brick and mortar stores? This was always going to happen, and anyone who believed otherwise was sticking their head in the sand, but it has been exacerbated. Trump tax cuts definitely also helped Bezos do it, but moreso those tax cuts allowed megacorps like Amazon or Apple or Google to avoid paying even more taxes than they do already, with the increased profit there being used to just shore up their market shares.

That said, the upswing is that this may bring about antitrust sooner. The downswing of the upswing is that investors don't seem to believe that antitrust will really achieve anything, and that the nature of tech itself makes antitrust efforts kindof pointless (IE, you can't really make a "facebook west" and "facebook east" as you could with telecoms). Nevertheless, the amount of shit hosted on Amazon Web Services is clearly way, way too much if that company is not going to act "neutral" about it (and let's be real: there are no neutral companies and never have been). Forcing AWS to sell off some of its webhosting infrastructure might be one of the only ways to actively force competition and diversity in that space, and maybe if there's money left over from donating it all to a career conman, conservatives can buy up some of what gets forcibly auctioned off and have a more reliable webhosting space.

But who am I kidding; they'll no sooner buy up the webhosting infrastructure than they'll pick up on the fact that programming is kindof important and necessary if you want to have "conservative-friendly" alternatives to shit like facebook, twitter, twitch, etc.

Barring that he said the cake-baker shouldn't have to bake the cake in his second sentence, which makes the summary a bit off the mark.

Yeah, but conservatives don't program for the most part because both job choice and politics are determined by temperament. Modern computer coding originates from a bunch of hippies outmaneuvering IBM because they were more willing to share, it's an inherently left-wing profession.

Their own studies show that at most 1/10 of America is progressive, yet that's the media narrative, so you better believe they reinforce it with bots. Incidentally, a similar percent of Americans are the "hardcore conservative" type.

It's more or less not possible. A handful of corporations controls pretty much everything, and all those corporations are woke as hell and full-on globohomo. What you can do is one, cut your cable, satellite, and streaming and pirate every piece of media you consume, and two, buy local. Even in major cities there are farmers' markets with great deals on fresh produce and other stuff. In the countryside your local town will likely be able to hook you up with similar deals. If you're going to eat out, don't eat at a chain restaurant, learn local restaurants. Even in rural areas you'll find places that BTFO shit like McDonalds or Applebees/local equivalent. Learn how to cook. Learn to fish and learn to hunt too, even in places that hate guns they have exemptions for hunters.

You'll still have to deal with a lot of bullshit, like you'll need aspirin and other OTC drugs and consumer goods corporations are quite evil. There are natural alternatives but full-on herbalism is very time consuming, often not AS effective as the drug, and buying herbal products from others is expensive. If you like alcohol you can brew your own beer/cider/whatever but distilling your own hard liquor is illegal and usually not as good as the best stuff so you'll have to go to a city and buy their liquor which means paying their sales tax and global liquor corporations and importers are pretty fucked up in their structure and influence.

How old is that study? Would be interesting to know how much it's gone up since George Floyd. If people really are sheep it would have gone from 10% to 50% by now.

Why the yellow flags?

I'm surprised they didn't go with a rainbow configuration. Next time, for sure. We noahide now.


How many of those same people are still in office? Probably quite a lot. The face may have changed, but the game hasn't.

A Trumptard I used to go to HS with has a profile pic like this. In HS, he acted like a bad ass mofo, but then one day he mouthed off to a kid who was a lot bigger and stronger than him. Needless to say, it didn't end well for him.

They're gonna have to get with the times or get forgotten about, just like all the horse breeders and buggy-builders put off by the advent of the automotive engine.

There's plenty of libertarian laissez-faire types who would probably lend a hand for branching out into creating an anything-goes internet, which is maybe the best shot conservatives will have at a conservative-friendly one. Though it's also true that conservatives could just as well bin being online and broadly disengage with it, going back to just socializing with small, local communities. They could fix up the backyard jobs problem by getting folks some technical training in shit like welding rather than coding, and be a lot better off than the current sitch.

I don't think it's ideal but realistically someone has to protect the tires of this nation.

By S.A. Miller - The Washington Times - Monday, January 18, 2021
The Republican Party Central Committee in Carbon County, Wyoming, has censured Rep. Liz Cheney for voting to impeach President Trump, as support for the one-time rising GOP star crumbles in her home state.
The censure resolution passed in a unanimous vote by the 45-member central committee. It included a demand that Ms. Cheney appear before the committee to explain her actions.
“Our representative did not represent our voice,” said Carbon County GOP Chairman Joey Correnti IV, who presented the resolution to the central committee at a Saturday meeting where the vote took place.
SEE ALSO: Resolution to censure Liz Cheney
The resolution condemns Ms. Cheney for conduct described as defying the will of most Wyoming Republican voters and joining in a rushed impeachment that did not examine all the facts and denied Mr. Trump due process.
The resolution also declared that a “vocal majority of Wyoming Republicans recognize there were significant irregularities” in the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Allegations of ballot fraud and election irregularities were the basis for the Jan. 6 pro-Trump rally that preceded the siege of the Capitol building that temporarily halted the Electoral College vote count that affirmed President-elect Joseph R. Biden’s victory.
The censure is the latest blow to Ms. Cheney, a member of the House Republican leadership team and the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney.
The Wyoming Republican Party issued a statement last week acknowledging its GOP voters overwhelming condemn Ms. Cheney‘s actions on impeachment.
Fellow members of the House Republican Conference are calling for her to step down from her post as conference chair, which she so far refuses to do.
Ms. Cheney had not responded to the county central committee as of Monday morning, Mr. Correnti said.
She has practically gone into hiding, he said.
“People in the county party have attempted to get ahold of Representative Cheney through email, phone calls — and I think only one person got a response from a staffer and it was pretty short,” he said. “We haven’t heard anything.”
Ms. Cheney also did not immediately respond to The Washington Times’s request for comment on the censure.
The blowback against Ms. Cheney demonstrated Mr. Trump’s undented popularity with the base. Roughly 87% of Republican voters approved of Mr. Trump’s job performance in an NBC News survey conducted after the Jan. 6 riot and his impeachment.
Ms. Cheney was heralded as a new GOP star when she was elected to Wyoming’s single House seat in 2018. She was viewed in Washington as perhaps a future House speaker.
Her political future is now in doubt after she became the face of House Republican support for impeaching Mr. Trump for inciting the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.
There’s widespread talk in Wyoming of a primary challenge for Ms. Cheney in 2022. In Washington, fellow Republican Reps. Andy Biggs of Arizona and Matt Rosendale of Montana are circulating a petition to knock her off the leadership team.
Ms. Cheney was among 10 House Republicans who joined Democrats to impeach Mr. Trump last week. But it was Ms. Cheney that House Democrats pointed to during the impeachment debate as evidence of widespread and bipartisan support for ousting Mr. Trump.
“The president of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack,” Ms. Cheney said in explaining her vote. “Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the president.”

Lol Trump not only wrecked his brand and destroyed the Alt Right now he's even killing the GOP.

Remember when Conservatives said the Democrat party would fracture and fall into infighting in 2020?

Projection must be hell of a drug. :story:
