Nationalize Amazon. Yes all of it.
The number of government functions that use AWS alone makes it a matter of national security.
Roll all of the Amazon marketplace into the fucking postal service. Clogging up the damn systems anyways. Might as well fucking turn the warehouses into sorting centers for mail too and pay their workers well, have benefits, a pension, ac, and bathroom breaks.
Shit, came here to say the same thing.
There are other countries that also rely on Amazon services. Mationalizing the company would be a major diplomatic and economic blow to the USA.
They should nationalize it in every country.
major diplomatic and economic blow to the USA.
See? Even more reason to!
But really though, the US can extract any data or other concession they want from Amazon already, it would only change the perceptions of foreign countries who aren’t paying attention.
Hell I’d be more surprised if a government-run amazon gave my information to the DoD/NSA than the current one. There’s regulations and more ability to conceal it if they buy the data from third parties than collect it themselves.
Morally this is the right thing. But I worry about governments taking private assets and property. Seems like the US gov could just start their own competing version on of Amazon. And this would mean competition, which is good for the consumer.
Nah, taking property from billionaires is good, it leaves them with less capability to buy politicians.
Arizona is goddamn right.
