Amazon Prime Day - Jeff Bozo Bezos' Weasel Fine Print

"Oh wow, Duuuuuuude, Amazon is celebrating its anniversary, and will give us BIG DISCOUNTS!"

Not so fast, Millennial mucus-face.

There's some fine print to this hyped-up event.

Yes, Amazon promises Groupon-type low prices on CERTAIN items nobody wants and shit that isn't selling.

BUT...the fine print?

You can't just be a member of Amazon with your credit card on file.

You have to be part of "AMAZON PRIME," which costs $100 a year.

Who in their right mind is such a fucking glutton that paying $100 annually makes sense?

You get what, exactly, free shipping, maybe, without the $35 minimum?

And how confident are you that you can cancel your 30 day free trial in time to NOT be billed $100?

"AMAZON PRIME" is for big families who never shop in malls, and for companies who can have someone buy all the office supplies. That's about it.

I don't have "AMAZON PRIME," and I don't buy much from Amazon if I can avoid it.

Celebrate their Anniversary? Celebrate Jeff Bezos creating a company that pushed Kindle to destroy the book world, and put thousands of Mom and Pop stores of all types out of business?

That's like celebrating the day Hitler became Fuhrer.
