Jeff Bezos and Amazon dot com

Meme dump #10

I hope you have a good Friday, but I'm not going to post calendar-based themes - not even for April Fools' Day.

Jeff Bezos in 1998: I sell books. Jeff Bezos in 2017: I sell whatever the fuck I want.

The next meme is one of my favorites. I wasn't sure where I'd saved it, and I couldn't find it online, no matter what I tried. Eventually I did find it on my computer, simply as boxes.jpg. A good reminder that we keep forgetting parts of our culture which aren't archived or republished by anyone.

Come on down to Amazon Dort Corm, we got: boxes, boxes, boxes, bexos, shippy bois, boxes

Amazon.com locker in a mixed-income building:

Amazon review of an anarcho-communist flag ($7.51 plus shipping): What have I done? I liked that it was cheap cuz I'm poor, I'm however disappointed in myself for buying it on Amazon, for obvious reasons.

Amir: Amazon talking about show them proof I didn't get the package (photo of his empty hand).

Tweet: the newest twitter rabbit hole i've fallen down is the fact that amazon makes some of its employees write tweets that are *not at all* suspicious. AmazonFCRafael: Back from more than a week of absence at work. Good thing I was able to cover it up using my time bank. (Personal, Sick, and Vacation). AmazonFCAudra: As a worker in the US, I do not want a union. Why should I pay dues to a union to get exactly what I am already getting? My working conditions are good and I receive great benefits. Would I like more... AmazonFCRafael: Took a picture of the leadership principals I see on the wall every day while walking to the break room. I love the abstract design, simple, and elegant all at once. #wallart #leadership AmazonFCDylan: Everything is fine, I don't think there is anything wrong with the money I make or the way I am treated at work

The Washington Post, Democracy Dies in Darkness: 1) Washington Post to be sold to Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon. 2) Opinion: Think twice before changing the tax rules to soak billionaires. 3) The Post's View
~ Opinion: The smartest way to make the rich pay is not a wealth tax. It's important to ask the wealthy to pay more. It's also important to do it the right way. 4) Opinion: The billionaires' space race benefits the rest of us. Really.

In one message obtained by The Enquirer, on newsstands today, Bezos wrote: I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon. Dana Schwartz: Jeff Bezos sexts like he's an alien in a human suit.

Hey, here's the Political Compass again:

Authoritarian Left: Burn down Amazon. Authoritarian Right: Burn down the Amazon. Libertarian Left: Protect the Amazon. Libertarian Right: Protect Amazon.

Their only chance for a toilet break:

Amazon workers after finding out Jeff Bezos is in space

Sad & Useless Humor: #inspiration. Remember kids: If you study hard, get good grades, go to a good college, get a job, work hard... never take a sick day, live within your means, and do what you're told... then one day your boss might go to space!
