Déjà à genoux nos dirigeants #EU devant le King des #USA, ah ils ont été rapide à trouver un Prie-Dieu comme nous l'expliquent nos économistes des médias live qui décrivent les "sacrifices" que nous pourrions consentir au Moloch pour apaiser sa colère, comme la détaxation des #Gafam que s'est empressé d'annoncer le courageux #Starmer #UK pour obtenir 10% de rabais sur les #Tariffs
Un petit geste pour #Bezos et #Zuckerberg qui ont financé #Trump
Pour commencer

>> BRIAN: Well, there's a lot of evidence for that. I mean, look at the joy and abandon with which #Musk and #Bezos and #Zuckerberg have jumped into #fascism! They're completely happy to be there. In fact, they're quite proud, it seems to me.

> Q: What do you think of the argument that we don't need to tax rich people more, because they can use their money to give away to charitable causes, or be beneficiaries?

@nixCraft I don't think he's "wishing" those things to happen.
AI companies are investing to push AI's capabilities so this will most likely become true at some point in the future.
Because of cost reduction, everything is being made with AI, despite the 💩 quality now.
AI has already replaced people, made job scopes overlap and merge, and reduced salaries.
I don't love Gates but out of all these #billionaires, his foundation gives money to many causes. Seen #Musk, #Trump, #Bezos etc doing that?

People Are Stealing From Whole Foods, Amazon to Get Back at Jeff Bezos byteseu.com/870633/ #amazon #Bezos #billionaire #business #carson #case #company #friend #item #JeffBezos #Lee #people #story #WholeFoods #worker #World

Bytes Europe · People Are Stealing From Whole Foods, Amazon to Get Back at Jeff BezosLee insists he's 'famously' a very good Catholic. He's a moral person — his mother raised him right. And by his internal calculation, it's OK to shoplift from Whole Foods. Why? Because of Jeff Bezos.From about 2020 to 2022, Lee, a 20-something communications professional living in the Washington, DC, area, engaged in what he describes as 'grand theft auto-ing' from his local Whole Foods store. He would cheat the scale at the hot bar, pocket spices, or take home four lemons in the self-checkout aisle while only declaring two. Lee has never shoplifted from anywhere else — not Safeway, not

"According to six people who have worked closely with him across Amazon, Blue Origin and The Washington Post, the decisions are part of a marked shift in Bezos’s strategy towards Trump. These people painted a picture of a shrewd capitalist, making practical calculations to protect his businesses.

But they also believe Bezos is operating with a dose of fear about Trump, as well as resentment towards what he considers to be the Democrats’ “vilification” of Big Tech during the Biden administration.

Several of these people pointed to Amazon’s loss of that $10bn contract for the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure project (Jedi) — the knockout punch of Bezos’s ugly battle with Trump during his first term — as a watershed moment.

“There was a joke at the time that it didn’t cost Jeff Bezos $250mn to buy the Post, it cost him $10bn,” the newspaper’s former editor Marty Baron tells the Financial Times.

A person who met Bezos days after the Pentagon blow says he was “deeply hurt” by the ordeal. “He sat there going: ‘This is not right.’”

For Bezos there are enormous financial risks to Trump 2.0. His business interests are vulnerable to the tax and tariff debates in Washington, and hold tens of billions of dollars in government contracts spanning national security and space. They are also subject to significant oversight and pressure from regulators.
Perhaps most important to Bezos is the future of Blue Origin, his passion project that aims to make space travel accessible, as the company vies to win US government contracts — often in competition with Elon Musk’s SpaceX."

Is KDP Select/KU just a backdoor path to Amazon monopoly?

Have any authors done comparisons between publishing wide (maybe Draft2Digital) VS KDP for initial releases?

I know some authors just poick one thing and stick with it. And some genre's are almost exclusively KDSP Select these days.

Interested to know if it is such a vastly different market share for your genre that it isn't worth it. And if is worrying that your exclusivity benefits Bezos.

@nixCraft Practically all #billionaires (#Shittenberg aka #Zuckerberg, #Bezos, #Trump, #Musk, #Altman, ##Pichai, #Cook, #Narayen and others) are only billionaires because of some kind of dogdy stuff (legal, loophole, bluntly illegal etc).
If they could go back in time and have actual slaves working for them do they would not have to pay them - and could beat them up if not fast enough - be sure they would.
#Billionarism must die. #Trickle economy is 🐂💩 to forever keep them rich and us poor.
