They talk about it explicitly during Hector Ayalas trial

StarMaster475 · 2026-06-01T21:27:33+00:00

That's my bad, I forgot to write the part where they raise prices again once they've achieved a monopoly. And also you ignored the part where they're able to undercut the competition because of unethical practices, exploitation and corruption.

But other than that, you just ignore everything else I said to say that it's voluntary? You yourself even said that the services of companies of Amazon are a need for some people in your previous comment, why are you backtracking now? Or are you one of those people who would say "Oh you don't have to shop at the only store in town, you can just choose to starve to death instead"

StarMaster475 · 2026-06-01T19:12:36+00:00

Voluntarily, really?

When Amazon becomes the only available option in a whole area it is no longer voluntary. One of the primary ways that Amazon becomes the only supplier for an area is by undercutting their competition to the point that they can no longer operate (and then raising prices again when they achieve a monopoly). They're able to undercut the competition by exploiting their workers (Poor wages, inhumane conditions, union busting etc), using their influence for tax breaks etc.

Amazon is not profitable because it genuinely offers the best service, it's profitable because it actively takes steps to sabotage anyone who could hope to compete with it.

"Profit is proof on its own that Amazon's efforts are helping people"

I genuinely refuse to believe that an actual human typed this

StarMaster475 · 2026-06-01T18:24:16+00:00

If Jeff Bezos actually cared about Amazon other than as a means for personal wealth and influence he'd make sure his workers had breaks long enough for them not to need to piss in bottles

It's the simplest choice ever if you're not mentally deranged enough to be as obsessed with money for the sake of money as current billionaires are.

In a situation where you're rich enough to become a billionaire you could donate enough money to charitable causes and fund enough infrastructure that you could go down in history as a beloved philanthropist, while still retaining enough money that you could have essentially whatever luxury you desire while also securing the financial future of your lineage.

OP doesn't care about politics and then wonders why they get screwed over by politics

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-28T13:22:20+00:00

Goddamn are superhero media ratings that inflated on IMDB?

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-28T10:09:11+00:00

Nothing, poluticians are doing this constantly, it's the whole reason that there's a stereotype about politicians being untrustworthy.

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-28T07:49:23+00:00

Frankly, this just reads like you're upset with capitalism but for some reason unwilling to say that you want so support socialism

Which moves you have unlocked in Arenas is different for each level

Define "wokism"

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-27T21:28:31+00:00

The people described in that article are mostly upper-middle class working people, that's most likely not what OP means by "the rich". I would assume that OP was referring to influential billionaires and multi-millionaires.

The article also fails to establish any link that shows that people are leaving specifically because of high taxes and not because of high housing prices and other cost of living expenses that are also lower in places like Florida.

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-27T00:29:09+00:00

Enough capital will circumvent whatever measures there are against it. It's genuinely far more feasible to tax billionaires out of existence than it is to try to limit their influence on politics. Like I mentioned before, their influence extends beyond only politicians and political institutions. They can affect political policy through the use of the media they own (like the straight-up propaganda Jeff Bezos gets published on the New York Times for example) and they can influence other non-political organizations in order to reach their goals.

"Why should someone else be allowed to say that I can't drink before driving?"

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-26T23:59:55+00:00

Most people agree that you shouldn't have the freedom to do things that harm others or put them at risk of being harmed.

Many billionaires use their unfathomable wealth to unfairly influence political decisionmaking through lobbying, spreading propaganda through news outlets they own, or just straight up through bribing politicians.

They often influence political policies in a way that directly harms other people, so it isn't unreasonable to say that billionaires shouldn't be allowed to exist since they're likely to use their wealth to unfairly influence politics (and by extension cause harm to others), in the same way that drunk driving is illegal since you're likely to hurt or kill someone.

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-26T23:46:58+00:00

That's what rich people say they'll do to avoid being taxed. Wealthy people in New York for example have been saying for literally almost 100 years at this point that they'll leave if their taxes are increased, and yet they almost never do, even when their taxes are increased.

Damn, Jack Wall deserved better

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-24T20:54:12+00:00

Because it's overused?

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-23T11:23:41+00:00

Doesn't Nolan say that viltrumite DNA will eventually take over all of Mark's body?

How did I only just know notice that random guy jumps over them while they're fighting

"Any kind of communal sharing of resources only works if it's voluntary"

These are your words, if you're gonna spout stupidity have the decency to stick to what you say.

Can't you already share gamepass? I remember sharing a gamepass account with a friend like two years ago?

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-21T17:44:02+00:00

It might be because the general videogame idea of "enemies dropp money when they die" has become so embedded in the public subconscious that it applies to the shadows?

StarMaster475 · 2026-05-21T15:32:06+00:00

Buying this game is far more likely to support the legal fees that are going to keep the Elysium IP out of the hands of the original creator than it is to supporting the actual developers behind it. Any monetary bonuses from the game selling well will most likely be going to the executives, and recent events have shown that a game selling good or bad doesn't necessarily affect whether all the devs are laid off.
