I think it's motives are pretty fucking clear. Those critics are either being very careful or complete morons.
If they want Prime cancellations en masse they are getting them. At least in Europe.
I hope Americans join us.
Already done. Don't forget ebay, PayPal and twitch.
I already boycot ebay and paypal, but are they tied to Amazon? Venmo is also a paypal company.
ebay
Pretty sure there's some good reason to boycott them, but they're not Amazon.
Guessing they're mentioning popular American companies
As an American, I can’t boycott them any harder.
I can't wait for it to not get any Oscar Nominations, and have Trump go ape shit like he does about the Nobel Pace Prize.
But it's for Melania, so maybe he won't care. More likely he'll demand an Oscar for both of them. Or maybe he'll just steal hers. None of those would surprise me.
He knows the leaders of the United States have their thumb on the scales! They shoulda given the award to ~~me~~ melania! Now he's going to have to invade the country that hosts the Oscars....
Shame really. Gif
9/11 has critics questioning Bin Laden's motives
No one questions Jeff's motives. We all know what his motives are.
You guys have questions?
How could you question Amazon's motives!?
Right‽ Has Amazon and Jeff Bezos ever shown even a hint of ulterior motivation? Unbelievable!
^(^(I really hope I'm laying the sarcasm on thick enough for everyone to notice…))
It's not really a question, is it
Yeah. That's the job description
