There’s gonna be so much to unfuck after this presidency ends in 100 years.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

let's start by nationalizing Amazon.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No, start by nationalizing SpaceX. Then we can deliver packages REALLY FAST.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I actually want my package in one piece tho.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

eh.... best I can do is dejoy delivery sometime in the next decade

Just burn it to the ground. It's just consumerism.

But how will people get their daily dose of treats then????

it would allow for a more efficient and streamlined delivery service alongside better regulated sale of goods and proper quality checking and consumer protections that most people moan about the lack of, which would not be fixed just by monopoly busting

[–] untakenusername 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

nationalizing it would keep it a monopoly, while cutting it up would cause the bits of the company to have to compete to keep each of their delivery services efficient and streamlined

consumer protections can be implemented with regulations

edit: if you wanna silently downvote me, say why

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I didn't downvote you. Others did, government corporations by themselves don't act like monopolies because they do not prioritise money but instead influence and power, you wouldn't need predatory tactics to keep people using your state owned solutions and a government wouldn't employ predatory tactics to beat down on competitors, if it truly was meant only for the government then it would have private investment into the field made illegal.

It's absolutely gonna feel like a 100 years. FML....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

We'd be better off rebuilding it all from scratch with an economic system that actually works for the people this time.
