I think you are wrong to attack Amazon. As a consumer and customer Amazon gives me value that I get from no other company. Just lately for example I am looking for a new mattress. I bought one from IKEA, and after me and my girlfriend testing it in the store 3 times, when we got it it was too hard and I had to return it. IKEA refuses to give me my money back - the insist on giving me a store credit that expires in a year.
The law in CA says I should get my money back, but IKEA does not respect that. If I buy something on Amazon with Amazon Prime, I get a guarantee that Amazon has never cheated me on. They give me my money back, not a credit, and they have always treated me fairly.
There are things that Amazon doesn't do perfectly, but in general they are always improving. Compare Amazon tablets with the iPad for example, or their media store to Apple iTunes ... Amazon is much much better.
Also ... wake up you idiots ... when they say Bezos is the richest man in the world, that is by capitalization of stock. If he sold all his stock he would never get that amount of money. So many of these claims by my fellow Lefties may be well-intentioned, but they are full of BS. The real fights are not over Bezos or Gate, but over tax policy. Since Bezos is worth so much by virtue of having stock that he has not sold .... of course he does not have to pay taxes on that. This is more control of his company than money in the bank.
1/2 of the complaints of Liberals are misdirected like this. It is not that they are wrong, or have their hearts in the wrong place, they just do not understand the big picture, and so nothing will change because they are complaining about the wrong problem.

The problem is that Jimmy Dore is a very unsophisticated black and white thinker.
He is putting out that the vaccine is either 100% or 0% in terms of infection and transmission.
This is just not true.
Think of the vaccine as a barrier to infection and transmission - but it was designed to prevent infections as much as possible.
So ... you have to think of this as two variables - that are not just off or no, 0 or 1, black or white.
You attack the individual problem with vaccination, that will do what can be done to prevent infection.
Getting vaccinated makes Covid less series, less infection, less serious, less hospitalization, less intubation, less death, less long Covid.
Getting vaccinated means that people around you will in general have less Covid, but will be less transmissible to you. Not 100% but less.
I see this reality being misinterpreted and used to attack the vaccine ... and not to mention masks or lockdowns as well.
Without the masks doing what they can do, and the lockdowns the US health care system would have very likely been either shut down or destroyed.
The complexity of this model, is very easy to misinterpret, or to distort or lie about for some kind of negative attack purpose.
I don't know why people would want to do this or they would be trying to pass misinformation around, but they do, and they do a lot.
And it makes people worry and get frightened they might know understand the model, the scientific model of human disease.
So, censorship about vaccine BS whatever you think about it, agree or disagree- there is at least a positive motive and logic behind it.
The lockdown and the vaccine passport idea is also effective.
What tends to work against all of this is American ignorance and paranoia - and lack of trust in institutions - and for good reason.
I've heard people telling me because I got vaccinate and boosted that I would die within two years. Can you imagine that. BS!
I've heard people saying the damage from the vaccine killed more people than Covid. More BS.
We are a country so ignorant and untrusting that these kinds of blatant huge lies can thrive and expand.
There are a lot of political and economic root causes of this dysfunction in our society I will try to expand on later.

The arguments here are so confused and incoherent.
First, Crimea is Russian, I grant that right off the bat.
But, a video news report is not going to statistically show that.
Even if you do show it with a massive poll, the West will discount it because they will say the people cannot speak freely.
Then there is the whole what is Ukraine thing, and why was it formed with 2 radically different populations after the USSR?
I support breaking Ukraine up along Ukrainian and Russian divisions - but these areas of Russia are a lot different from Chechnya and some others - Ukraine is the heart of Russia, where the empire began more or less.
So this is even more than comparing apples to oranges, it is comparing apple to doorknobs.
The best point here was the way Ukraine is putting people on kill lists, and lying,
but the even greater point is how on class of Ukrainians is bringing death and destruction down on the whole country and thousands and thousands of people, and the US is supporting that and causing a mess all over the world - for something that should have easily been solved by Ukraine just letting these people have their land and country,
