The fight is going to be difficult because they have so much money. Trump wants two things revenge and money.
He can get revenge as President and the billionaires will just give him money. No reason necessary.
I'm going to cancel my Amazon membership on innaguration day. My little membership fee won't hurt him, and I will miss the convenience, but we all need to contribute to the resistance any way we can.
I just can’t wait for the moment when Donald Trump says to all of these huge companies: “My kids all have seats on your board now. Or else. And make sure one of them is next in line to be chairman.”
This country is just totally crumbling to Trump. Now, it appears that EVERYONE will eventually have to PAY Trump in order to take part in ANY aspect of America's "prosperity".
Just imagine how many meals that could buy for those experiencing food insecurity. Imagine the rent it could pay, the electricity it could buy. Buy things to help people - not buy people who will line your pockets.
shop local - shop small business - shop thrift shop or save your money for the crash that will be coming - the billionaires will NOT save us or care - we must save ourselves by supporting each other

He's not alone: "Marc Benioff, chief executive of Salesforce and owner of Time Magazine, posted on X that it was “a time of great promise for our nation,” after naming Trump “Person of the Year”. "We look forward to working together to advance American success and prosperity for everyone."
ABC won't be the last party to settle a vexatious suit brought by Trump as a means to curry favor and Bezos's wealth might be up or down $14 million every hour with the vagaries of the stock market.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if he followed Taylor Swift’s lead and gave his employees bonuses? Perhaps instead of spending all that $$$ airing commercials nonstop about the average Amazon worker’s pay, etc.🙄
Follow the money. Corporate execs are beholden to the neoliberal capitalism core principle: earn rates of return and rates of growth in excess of your cost of capital or suffer the consequences. Paying tribute helps ensure safe passage through the turbulent waters of the Trumpian Sea.
Two billionaires who haven't kissed the ring, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates. Gates is doing some amazing work through his foundation and Buffett is a big contributor. All the good work from Gates will be washed away by fascism. We desperately need news outlets loyal to democracy and not profits!
Same. Cancelled prime. Yes, have to think more about where to get things. Noticing that when I google items, the top recommendations are all Amazon. Even for standalone store who also sell on A, it comes before them.
As a small online business (for over 20 years) everything changed in the digital marketing world when AI was picked up by Google and Bing. This benefited the big companies and sent us smaller companies scrambling for ways to be found (mainly social media). It's been a monumental change...
AI has flipped the digital marketing game upside down. Big companies definitely have the edge now, especially with search, which makes it so much harder for smaller businesses to get seen.
The left needs our own billionaires to fight back against the rightwing propaganda machine and billionaire oligarchs. We just can't compete with their propaganda machine. It's so frustrating!
Bezos is going through the picture book data base to fill the library. His people are scrambling to develop cartoons to run on loops to keep the visitors engaged.
The, unwritten, but widely known mission statement of the Trump admin and republicans is the following: take something from someone who needs it and give it to someone who doesn’t.

Trillionaires are around the bend.
