"Trickle-Down Economics/Oligarchy STRIKES BACK" Walmart To Buy Bonobos For $310M

[AlainLocke]

My response was based off the several acquisitions that Walmart and Amazon has been purchasing in order to occupy the internet sales space. Im pretty sure the laws surrounding web sales and acquisitions are pretty gray, and this will only result in companies being consolidated, brick and mortar stores continual decline, and prices going up. I digress

Yeah it's getting pretty bad...

After a while...there will be no point in starting an ecommerce website

Walmart is already the biggest employer in the USA and they have their employees file for food stamps...

Amazon doesn't even issue dividends and doesn't even run a profit and Bezos is getting wealthier every year...


At a certain point...the government gonna have to do something about those two because they are ruining the economy for the average person...

Anti-trust laws tend to break up only resource providing industries...like telephone lines, airlines and oil...

When it comes to consumer industries...the USA is more relaxed in breaking them up

The whole airline de regulation shake up of the early 80's is mad interesting, but as far as the break up of telephone services that shyt aint ever gonna happen.

gov't is def in bed with the telephone mawfs on a information and metadata sharing level, so its like not even in their interest to break em up. cause then they would just have to get in bed with whatever companies popup in the aftershock.


edit:
side note, slick feel like airline de regulation just paved the way for corruption and enabled a whole new wave of pushing for the iran/contra shaysh

They only broke up AT&T...1980s since they were the biggest corporation to ever exist...that shyt was mad interesting....


They need to get these telephone/cable companies for having a virtual monopoly in a single area. They will be an entire area with nothing but Comcast or AT&T

But they won't...


And yeah they in bed with phone companies...especially cellphone companies...

I was talking about this the other day and how soon the average American worker will be on contract. Not sure if people are aware but a lot of companies are finding it hard to pay for employer benefits and protections, sustain high profit gains, and please their shareholders, so they have resorted to contracting employees. While recruiting companies are feasting off this method, it leaves the employee vulnerable and contracts can be ended on the spot. A lot of big companies have resorted to this method to reduce the financial and legal burden of having an employee. Uber provided the most notable blueprint of this .

Are you employed yet or still living off your parents?

They do that purposefully to grow the business
They bring in enough to profit if they want
Can't say I blame them though, makes good business sense

I'm waiting for a wealthy niqqa to source Chinese merchandise and open Blackmart...

Do not buy from this huff ass company. Someone recommended them to me for chinos. So I bought like 5-6 pair of pants from them almost a month ago. But I look 2 weeks later and the order was still “being prepared” at the warehouse. So I call like here the fukk my pants at man? They gonna tell me oh yeah, we having issues with that location but it will be shipping soon. Like 2 days later I check my order again, and that hoe still ain’t left. I hit them like cancel the whole order and give me my fukking money back you dweebs.

So I said fukk it, I’ll just pull up in person cause they got a store in Atlanta. But when I went on the site, you can’t buy shyt at the store. You just go try clothes on there, then order on the internet from the store bytch you ain’t no bespoke shyt, y’all bytch ass making chinos smh. So I said fukk they bytch ass.

So just randomly, I said let me call them and see if they shipping issues fixed. But they don’t offer the option to talk to anyone anymore. They direct you to the chat and email. So not only do they refuse to make sales, they eliminated the option to speak with someone. It’s almost like this company wants to fail. I was trying to fukk with them, but on principle I’d never in my life wear the shyt now. They couldn’t give these shyts away to me at this point. They dumb as hell g
