    Shaking down Amazon for more protection money. Assholes all around on this.

    Edit: Since a couple people have their heads way up there, this comment is calling out everyone involved as shitty. Hopefully having someone explain plain English is helpful, you know who you are.

      Wow your braindead. That or Jeff himself. Either way that’s a stupid fucking take.

        One of us is braindead anyway. The first person who replied had reading comprehension, you do not.

            Me too, the difference is you’re actually a blithering idiot. 🤷

      If this were Trump’s AG, I’d agree. But my read isn’t so negative about the CA AG.

        I’d like to be wrong but the fine amount is going to be cost of doing business level like all the others.

            No, it should hurt them enough. Obviously.

            These protection payment level fines should also be getting punished for what they are.

      What?

      The government is doing its job, protecting consumers from predatory and monopolistic practices, and you’re crying “oh no, the poor billionaires”??

        The only way you’d get that moronic take is if you read less than half the words in front of you. Try again.

          Good strategy, use few words to keep people guessing if you’re that dimwitted, or just being paid per post by your masters.

          God forbid you try to explain yourself and confirm which one it is.

            I had you tagged as “Idiot” but you just leveled up to “Blithering Idiot”. Congrats!

      There isn’t even anyone to cheer for!

      Like…can they all lose somehow? Maybe you shake down amazon for 3 billion dollars, but then somehow it gets lost, and pays off cancer victims medical debt? I’d like that outcome.
