    What does baldness have to do with anything?

    Amazon is almost always more expensive, sometimes twice as much as buying from walmart.com or buying in store. I guess they make a ton from other services? IDK

    Bezos has been described as insecure and petty over the years. Bad combination for the richest man in the world.

    Amazon true strength actually lies in their technology infrastructure. No bull

    Interesting dynamic that the richest man (bezos) and the poorest (jjgold) are both bald

    You're doing something wrong.

    Some things are more expensive, but a lot of things are less. You just gotta know how to find the stuff and not buy indiscriminately.

    Heard a study found among Forune 500 companies there are:

    A ton of tall CEOs with full heads of hair.

    A few tall, bald CEOs

    A few short CEOs with full heads of hair

    Virtually zero short, bald CEOs

    I thought of Jack Welch when I heard this but whatever.

    all you have to do is go to the companys website and they usually sell it cheaper

    always that way for sports supplements

    looking to buy a new water filtration system, $10 cheaper on their own site

    plus almost all sites offer promos and specials

    golf tees and kirklands pills are cheaper because I do not have a Costco nearby

    I am an amazon prime member but I keep finding everything I buy cheaper elsewhere

    what do you find that is cheaper, maybe I am looking for the wrong things?

    If you are bald you will save on haircuts every other month.. Put that haircut and shampoo money saved away every month in a high interest yielding account, 30 years later with the principle and compounding interest you gathered you will be rich..

    Being bald has it's advantages ...

    Doesn't matter.

    I don't need the clitoris stimulator because I do not have a clit.

    I'm going with Amazon.

    Amazon wins again.

    Im sure your teeth, shit personality and lack of physique have just as much to do with your lack of success with the ladies as your bald head. You also forgot to mention that you prefer dick.

    This.


    I remember a few years back when people were suggesting Amazon would be sold... and/or couldn't compete with other online retailers.

    Good god... was everyone wrong.

    I think all billionaires should have a deep responsibility to help change this Country.. With that much money you can impact so many lives for the better.. You only need so much for yourself, anything else is just over kill.. A 100 million should be enough for themselves.

    I personally would build schools, offer to build the wall, or I'd start free dental offices to all American Citizens that file for taxes every year, open up offices in every major city Nationwide.. Hire qualified dentists and pay them well to work the free clinics daily.. Root canals, implants all a go and free..
