Amazon: The Silent Accomplice in Cyber Attacks on Small Businesses
As a small business owner, I’ve had just about enough of Amazon and their unscrupulous ways. It’s high time someone called out this corporate behemoth for what they truly are: a silent accomplice in the relentless cyber attacks that plague small businesses like mine every single day.

Every morning I wake up and check my security logs, and what do I find? Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers hammering away at my site, trying every dirty trick in the book. These servers are attempting to find vulnerabilities, brute-forcing login systems, and sometimes even launching denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. It’s as if these hackers have a vendetta against small businesses like mine.

Now, let’s get one thing straight—I don’t believe Amazon themselves are behind these attacks. But they sure as hell are enabling it by allowing hackers to rent their servers and use them for nefarious purposes. What does Amazon do about it? Absolutely fucking nothing. They don’t lift a damn finger to stop these attacks because they are raking in money from the very scumbags who are trying to put me out of business... and if I do go out of business then that one less competitor for Amazon.

Why does Amazon get away with this? Simple. They’ve got so much cash, they could probably buy the government if they wanted to. With their deep pockets, they pay the authorities to simply turn a blind eye to the havoc their services are causing. It’s a dirty game, and it’s high time we called them out for it.

So, what’s the solution? It’s not enough to complain; we need action. And that action, my friends, is to stop buying from Amazon. They thrive on our dollars and use them to fuel a monopoly that’s crushing small businesses. By opting to shop elsewhere, we can hit them where it hurts—their bottom line.

Amazon may think they’re invincible, but they’re not. It’s up to us to take a stand. The next time you think about making a purchase from Amazon, think about the small businesses trying to compete with an entity that supports cybercriminals. Think about the livelihoods being threatened.

Let’s put an end to Amazon’s reign of terror. Stop buying from Amazon and support businesses that play fair.

You think you're getting a deal when you buy from Amazon, right? WRONG. The truth is, those low prices come with a high cost. Amazon's been forced by authorities in the U.S. to recall 400,000 different electronic products because they don't meet ANY safety standards. We're talkin' electrocution risks, potential fires, and even DEATH. Yeah, you heard me right.

These fuckers are selling you junk that could literally kill you. It's like playing Russian Roulette with your life every time you plug in one of their cheap-ass gadgets. Jeff Bezos might be laughing his way to the bank, but he's got blood on his hands. All he cares about is stacking more cash in his Scrooge vault.

So, what's should you do? It's simple: BOYCOTT AMAZON. Stop giving your hard-earned money to a company that doesn't give a damn about your safety. I don't care if the prices seem low. They're not worth risking your life over. There are plenty of other places to shop that actually prioritize quality and safety.

Don't be fooled by those enticing low prices. Once you factor in the cost of replacing those cheap-ass products multiple times—or, God forbid, the cost of your life or your home—it's just not worth it.

Amazon Isn't Worth It. Seriously, y'all. We can't keep letting this slide. Amazon is tightening its monopoly, squeezing out small businesses, and jacking up prices for crap that doesn't last. It's like they're daring us to call them out. Well, challenge accepted, Bezos.

By boycotting Amazon, you're not just protecting yourself; you're also supporting ethical businesses that actually have high quality products and care about their customers. It's a win-win. So, let's hit 'em where it hurts—right in the wallet.

Stay safe, everyone. And remember, your life is worth more than saving a few bucks on a shady Amazon deal.

That's my rant for today.

It's that time of year again - Amazon Prime Day. Everyone's going batshit crazy for these so-called "deals." But let's be real for a second... you're pretty much paying Amazon for the privilege of buying their crap. Wtf, right?

First off, have you seen those bloody delivery vans? They're speeding around like they own the road, not giving a toss if they hit a speed bump or, god forbid, a kid! As long as they get their shitty Chinese tat to the maggot consumers on time, they couldn't care less.

And don't even get me started on these "deals." People think they're getting a bargain, but Amazon's been playing you for fools. Weeks before Prime Day, they slowly jack up the prices, then drop 'em back to the normal price and call it a deal. Taking you for a ride, thinking you're too stupid to notice.

Most of the stuff on offer? It's just old stock junk nobody really wants. But slap an "offer" label on it, and people are like flies to shit. It's cheap, it's crap, and it's ruining our planet. All the while, Bezos is sitting back, laughing, and getting even richer. The world's richest man, and he’s the greediest bastard too.

We need to wake up and stop buying junk we don't need from Amazon. This shit is filling our homes and landfills, making Jeff Bezos richer while we're left with clutter and a guilty conscience. Let's be smarter, folks. Buy local, buy what you need, and tell Amazon to shove their "deals" where the sun don't shine!

Ladies and gentlemen, we find ourselves living in the shadow of a monster. A monster created by a man, a man named Jeff Bezos. This man, is the embodiment of greed, corruption, and the unchecked powers of capitalism. His creation, Amazon, has become a leviathan, a monstrous entity swallowing everything in its path, leaving no room for the little guy, the small businesses, the medium enterprises, or even its fellow giants. It's a beast of a corporation that needs to be stopped.

Jeff Bezos, is like a revolting disease, spreading his gnarled tendrils across our society, infecting our economy and infiltrating our democracy. He's a puppet master, controlling our politicians with his deep pockets, making them dance to his tune while we, the people, bear the brunt of his insatiable greed.

Soon we might find ourselves living in a world shaped by his wretched vision, a world where we only buy from Amazon, watch just content curated by Amazon, listen to music approved by Amazon, read news from agencies owned by Amazon. It's a horrifyingly real possibility, a dystopian future where one man controls what we see, hear, and consume. It's a chilling echo of the Big Brother society, except it's not a government controlling our lives, it's Jeff Bezos.

But it doesn't have to be this way. We can resist. We can fight back. We can stand up to this grotesque little man and stop this monstrosity from spreading its malignant influence. We can be the David to this Goliath, the rebellion to this empire.

There's a vile beast amongst us, ladies and gentlemen, and it's time to strike it down. We need to stand together to face this monster. It will be a tough challenge, but just think of the freedom we would gain when we break free from the shackles of this mega corporation. Think of how heroic we would be to have fought this battle and won, to have chopped the head of the beast, to have slain the dragon.

We need to tear down this disgusting empire, scrap it piece by piece until nothing is left, like a cancerous tumor that’s been surgically removed. Only then can we make the world free from the bland, dull, restrictive reign of Jeff Bezos.

It's time to rise, time to fight, time to take down this monster once and for all. Let's take back our world from the clutches of this greedy man and his monstrous corporation.

Beware, shoppers! You might be thinking you're getting a steal on those designer clothes, but you could be in for a nasty surprise if you shop at Amazon!

I've been tricked one too many times, and let me tell you, it's not a pleasant feeling to find out the stylish shirt you bought is nothing more than a cheap knock-off with a sticker posing as a designer label. That's right, a sticker!

It feels like a slap in the face, especially when the quality of the clothing is appalling. You'd think counterfeiters could do better, wouldn't you? But no! And what's worse, when you take your complaints to Amazon, do they listen? No! They give you excuses and, guess what, the listing is still there, ready to trick another unsuspecting buyer.

Can you believe this? They've become a playground for fraudsters, with counterfeit goods galore. The sad part is, they don't even try to stop it. Why? Well, they're making a pretty penny out of it, aren't they?

But the real kicker is how they've managed to keep this dirty secret under wraps. It's mind-blowing how they have the gall to donate millions to politicians to maintain their disgusting monopoly. And what do we get in return? Counterfeit crap!

For the love of shopping, do not let yourself fall for their too-good-to-be-true prices for your favourite fashion brands. It's a scam! It's a rip-off! It's daylight robbery! Share this with your friends and family, let them know not to fall into this trap. And if you've had a similar experience, comment below and let's get the word out.

Because we, as consumers, deserve better!

Oh, how we've all been duped! You see, there's this retail behemoth that's wormed its way into our lives, promising convenience and affordability, but at what cost? I'm talking about a certain monstrous corporation that's been gobbling up smaller businesses and leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. I'm talking about AMAZON!

Let's talk tax, shall we? This corporate colossus, despite raking in revenues that would make Scrooge blush, has mastered the art of tax avoidance. That's right, folks! Their hard-earned moolah goes straight into their pockets, leaving the taxpayers to shoulder the burden of public services. And the audacity doesn't stop here.

Let's move on to their anti-competitive practices. This company, the retail equivalent of a playground bully, uses its platform to undercut competition. How, you ask? By shamelessly promoting its own products and services over its struggling competitors. It's a rigged game, folks, where the rich get richer and the small businesses get the short end of the stick. And if this wasn't enough, they're also pocketing some sweet, sweet taxpayer money in grants to build their fancy headquarters and warehouses. Feels fair, doesn't it?

And don't even get me started on their environmental impact. Their promise to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 feels like a half-hearted attempt at appeasement. It's all smoke and mirrors, people. Just because they say they're going green, doesn't mean they're actually doing it. It's a marketing ploy, pure and simple.

And then there's the question of data privacy. Ever get the feeling you're being watched? Well, with this corporation, you pretty much are. They've been accused of collecting and using customer data in ways that are about as transparent as a mud puddle.

And how about the products they sell? They've been called out time and time again for selling controversial items - dodgy health products, books promoting harmful practices, you name it. If it's unethical and it sells, they've probably got it.

So, why are we still supporting this corporate tyrant? It's time we take a good, hard look at where our money's going and what we're really supporting. Next time you're about to click that "buy now" button, maybe think twice.

Amazon sells numerous health and personal care products, the majority of which are sourced from unknown brands, predominantly from China. These products are neither tested nor meet regulatory standards, yet they're sold to us on Amazon with the promise of health benefits.

Can we trust these claims? Rhetorical question! Obviously not.

So why are they on the market? Profit!

The prices of these products are inflated, despite the fact that they're shoddily manufactured cheaply in China. And the worst part? Amazon promotes them as the top rated sellers as well because they make them the most profit not because the products are any good.

Why is this happening? Because Amazon enjoys a virtual monopoly, they have the liberty to mark up prices and exploit our vulnerabilities because for some people its the only place they shop.

It infuriates me to see such disregard for our health and well-being. We should be able to trust that the products we buy, especially those pertaining to our health, are safe and beneficial. Why isn't more being done?

You'd think that our government, the entity responsible for the welfare of its citizens, would take steps to curb this unethical practice. But, no! In the face of this rampant exploitation, there seems to be a lack of action. Is it because Amazon have such deep pockets that they are allowed to continue selling these dodgy health products without any repercussions?

We need to take a stand! We must not let Amazon continue to exploit us under the guise of health and wellness. We should demand regulation and oversight to ensure the safety and efficacy of products sold on Amazon and if they refuse they should be shut down.

But do I think change is on the horizon? Well, let's just say I'm not holding my breath.

I must say, I wasn't the least bit surprised upon hearing the recent investigative report about Amazon on BBC Watchdog where prime delivery drivers are pilfering high value items from customers and Amazon is refusing to provide refunds.

Imagine this: you order an item of significant value from Amazon. Amazon then provides you with a one-time passcode, which you're instructed to give to the delivery driver upon receiving your package. However, some delivery drivers, recognizing these packages as high-value, reportedly open the packages and take the items inside. They then proceed to the recipient's residence, and upon receiving the passcode from the unsuspecting customer, they hand over an empty package and make their quick exit.

The unsuspecting customer, upon realizing the package is empty, complains to Amazon, but to no avail. Amazon will then use the excuse that because the customer provided the delivery driver with the passcode, they're assuming the customer was satisfied with the goods upon delivery. Thus, no refunds are given.

This scenario not only speaks volumes about the character of those who work at Amazon but also points to a lack of respect the company has for its customers. It's as if they're implying that their customers are deceptive when they claim they didn't receive their items. The whole concept of one-time passcodes seems less about protecting the customer and more about safeguarding the company.

In essence, it's the responsibility of Amazon to ensure goods are delivered securely and are not pilfered en route. However, Amazon seems to hold itself above consumer protection laws, behaving as though it can do whatever it wants due to its near-monopolistic control.

I encourage anyone who has had a similar disappointing experience with this company to share their stories. It's important that we protect each other from wrongdoings, especially when it seems the quality of products aren't even worth the trouble, as many are reportedly cheaply made goods from overseas.

Instead, let's focus on supporting our local small businesses. They are the backbone of our economy, and deserve our support far more than a greedy, tax-evading corporation. Remember, every pound we spend is a vote for the world we want to live in. Let's make our votes count. #Amazon #Boycott

I'm flipping mad, I tell you! Utterly livid!

Can you imagine, I run a modest little enterprise selling things online, and guess what? I needed to restock for the festive season. So, I placed an order, a simple thing, right? Well, not so fast, my friend. A couple weeks later, I get an email from FedEx saying my parcel was delivered. Delivered? Where? Because it sure as hell wasn't delivered to me!

So, I get in touch with FedEx. And, oh boy, their response is as laughable as it is infuriating. They tell me that, by some unholy mistake, they've delivered my items to an Amazon warehouse, and they'll try to retrieve them.

The next day rolls around and guess what they tell me? That Amazon refuses to hand over my parcel! My parcel! Can you believe this? This isn't borrowing a cup of sugar, this is stealing my parcel containing stock worth over a grand!

Now, I have to make a claim with FedEx to get my money back. It's an absolute farce! Their delivery drivers must be numbskulls, I tell you. You have one job, deliver the parcel to the right location. How hard can it be?

And as for Amazon? They're as dishonest as they come. If they aren't busy dodging taxes or selling shoddy items that cause fires, they have their drivers racing around like madmen, causing accidents!

I'm telling you, if I walked up to one of their delivery vans and took a parcel, I'd be in handcuffs faster than you can say "double standard". But when it's them, nothing! They just pocket the parcel like they deserve it.

Well, I've had it. That's it. I'm done. I'm never using FedEx or buying anything from Amazon again. And I suggest you do the same. Let's not feed these monsters anymore. Enough is enough!

Jeff Bezos is one of the richest men on the planet. And what does he do with all that money? Does he donate it to charity? Ha, don't make me laugh. This man probably has more money hidden away in offshore accounts than he knows what to do with. And he pays barely any tax. How is that fair? How is it fair that hardworking people like you and me have to fork over a huge chunk of our paychecks to the government while Mr. Bezos gets away with paying next to nothing?

And let's talk about his charitable donations, or lack thereof. The man could probably fund a small country with the amount of money he has, but does he do that? Noooooo. He'd rather hoard it all to himself whilst avoiding paying as much tax as he possibly can. It's sickening, really. And the fact that people still buy from Amazon despite all of this...it's mind-boggling.

Oh sure, some people might say "oh, but Amazon is just so convenient!" Convenient my ass they take just as long as any other online shopping website. Most of the crap they sell on there is just made in China cheap garbage anyway. You know, the kind of stuff that falls apart after you've used it once or twice. But because Amazon has managed to kill off most small businesses, they can get away with selling this garbage at ridiculously high prices. And people still buy it! It's like they've been brainwashed or something.

Jeff Bezos even treat his Amazon employees like dirt. It's like they're being treated worse than animals. And for what? So Jeff Bezos can buy another yacht? It's sickening, I tell you. Absolutely sickening.

So here's what I propose: let's all boycott Amazon. Let's show Jeff Bezos that we're not just mindless drones who will buy anything this little worm of a man is peddling on his dumb website. Let's show him that we care about our fellow human beings and we won't stand for this kind of greed and exploitation. And if you absolutely have to buy something online, do it from a small business. Support your local economy. Don't give your money to some greedy billionaire who couldn't care less about you or anyone else.
