What is truly disheartening is that the Tech field has been brainwashed into thinking that they should oppose unionizing. Despite all the mass layoffs and increased pressure on IT workers, they perceive their higher salaries/wages as protection Many people in Tech lack intellect

Hedges is an example of Leninism. He is an upper class academic who thinks he knows better than blue collar people what they want and need and that he and his class should direct us. We are not pawns for his ideology.

Amazon is the best place for non skilled workers to work. The labor movement in America needs to stop the immigration/demographic replacement.

What would a Walmart/amazon strike do that the tariffs haven't already done? Would the strike just demand an end to tariffs?

The only way to build an effectual counterpower to the oligarchy is with a robust and militant labor movement. Any political solution must emerge from within that labor movement.

The two companies in Washington State with the most employees on Medicaid are Walmart and Amazon. So not only are these companies and their billionaire CEOs not paying their fair share in taxes — they’re also not even paying their employees enough for them to afford health care.

Amazon just got caught running a secret price manipulation operation with Levi's, Home Depot, Walmart, and many more. Every time you "comparison shopped" online, you were looking at prices that were already rigged. Here's what happened: Amazon would monitor prices on Walmart, Target, Best Buy, Home Depot, and Chewy in real time. The second a competitor listed a product cheaper than Amazon, they'd contact the brand directly and tell them to "fix it." And the exact emails are now PUBLIC. Amazon sent Levi's links to two Walmart listings with the subject line "styles of concern." They basically said the prices on Walmart are too low and we have a problem. The next day, Levi's responded: "I talked to Walmart and they have partnered with us to take Easy Khaki Classic fit back up to ladder SPP price, $29.99 immediately." Levi's literally called Walmart and told them to raise the price. Because Amazon told Levi's to make the call. Walmart complied. Then Amazon matched the HIGHER price. Both retailers ended up charging more. The customer paid extra. Nobody competed. Same playbook with Hanes: Amazon sent them links showing Target and Walmart prices were lower. Hanes confirmed they "reached out to Target and Walmart to have the prices increased." Target increased the prices. Walmart increased the prices. Amazon kept their margins. But it gets even worse... Amazon told Allergan (the company that makes eye drops) that their product was "suppressed" on Amazon because it was cheaper on another site. Allergan responded: "Walmart got their price back up to $16.99." Amazon then unsuppressed the listing. They did this with pet treats on Chewy. Furniture on Home Depot. Products across dozens of categories spanning YEARS. The mechanism is simple but terrifying: If you're a brand and you sell cheaper on Walmart than on Amazon, Amazon suppresses your product, removes you from the Buy Box, buries you in search results, and effectively makes you invisible to 300 million customers. Brands can't afford that. So they call Walmart and Target and say "raise your prices or we'll lose our Amazon listings." Walmart and Target comply because they need the brand's products. Amazon captures 40 cents of every dollar spent online in America. That gives them the leverage to set prices across THE ENTIRE internet. Not just their own platform. So turns out, you were never comparison shopping. You were looking at a coordinated price floor set by Amazon through backroom phone calls between brands and their competitors. "Amazon is working to make your life more unaffordable." 3 separate antitrust trials are now scheduled for 2027. The FTC has its own case. 18 states plus the DOJ are piling on. This is literally happening during the WORST affordability crisis in a generation. Groceries up 25% since 2020. Housing unaffordable. Wages flat. And the largest ecommerce company on Earth has been secretly coordinating with brands to make sure you can't find a cheaper price ANYWHERE. "Competition" in retail is just a fantasy.

NEW: Your taxes subsidize Amazon and Walmart poverty wages. These are trillion dollar companies, but 33% of Amazon workers need public assistance and 25% of Walmart workers need SNAP to survive. We investigated how corporations are taking advantage of workers—and all of us.

Amazon caught colluding with other companies to fix prices of popular products sold online “Amazon is working with retailers including Target, Walmart, Chewy, Levi Strauss, Best Buy and Home Depot to raise prices” Private messages sent by Amazon threatening companies to change prices on different sites “In one example, he claims Amazon sent Levi Strauss links to khaki pants being sold for lower prices on Walmart. com. In the message, Amazon allegedly said it hoped these can get resolved over the next few days. The next day. According to the Attorney General, Levi Strauss reported back to Amazon saying it had spoken to Walmart and Walmart had partnered with us to raise the khaki's price up to $29.99 immediately In another example, Amazon allegedly emailed pet treat manufacturer Chewy a list of products with price increases to convince the vendor Chewy should be aware of this update and follow suit accordingly. Two days later, the Attorney General's office claims the prices that went up on Amazon immediately went up on Chewy These were not suggestions. They were directives, often backed by threats of penalties if vendors failed to comply.” We won’t have real capitalism in America. We have giant monopolies that own and control everything Crimes like this should bring $100+ million dollar fines per corporation and prison time under the Sherman Act I doubt anything will happen. Nobody ever goes to jail One Big Club

Amazon has been coordinating with vendors and major retailers — including Target, Walmart, Chewy, and Home Depot — to raise prices across the market. This is a widespread scheme spanning years across markets — and it’s illegal. We’re fighting to stop it.
