Tomorrow, huh? Looks like it’s already too late then. Why would you want anyone to believe that though

Which part of the economy do you think needs to be destroyed? I don’t think our utilities, which are mostly tax funded, need consumerism to survive.

Really? Amazon’s tax rate was far lower than those working essential jobs such as teachers and nurses. Almost all corporate tax rates are far lower after incentives and write offs. What are you talking about lol

True Amazon does weird things to pay less taxes but they create a huge amount of value and their workers and shareholders of which there are quite a few are taxed.
