Does Amazon suck or what?

The other day I ordered shelf-stable vegan "cheeze" from Amazon (I can't buy stuff like this at the local store). One jar was broken, so naturally I tried getting my money back. I frankly wasn't surprised when the computer (not an actual human being) told me there was a no return policy for this item. We're conditioned to put up with this kind of thing these days, but where else do you get this treatment? Paying for shit you didn't break, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it ... except I suppose give a nasty review. But who's screwing who here? This business owner tells his side of the story: Uncensored: Working for Jeff Bezos. I've known for years that Amazon employs the same shady tactics as a casino when it comes to confusing their "mark." They try every psychological trick in the book to confuse and distract the consumer so they'll mindlessly click that button.

I see that George Floyd is back in the news. I always like to point out that Floyd clearly knew his "killer," Derek Chauvin. They both worked security at the same nightclub. But no one ever mentions that, do they?

Finally, here's a clip I saw on Peekay Truth 5:

Do you Think US and Ukrainian Leaders Give a Flying F#@K About This Kid?
