A discount for Prime members gives new attention to the health care service, though it's far from the only service out there.

      I’ve known this was coming for a few years after the CEO of my previous mental health employer told us he wanted to grow the company large enough to compete with Amazon who were going to be entering the primary care and mental healthcare field. He also warned of Walmart following suit.

      It was a hard pill to swallow and I hoped he was wrong, but here we are… It’s going to be a scary time if monopolies like Amazon and Walmart strangle out real providers and fuck up our healthcare industry even worse. We need these fuckers to have this fail spectacularly to preserve the industry.

      America is falling apart, I don’t think our countries consider them a “vision of the future”.

      Maybe 15-20 years ago, now we are just wondering when the collapse will happen

          Okay yeah, you make a scary valid point then. I can see it happening in Canada and a few European nations for sure.

          Hell, all I have been seeing for the last 40+ years is a slow erosion of rights. The amount of laws and regulations alone has drastically increased since I was a kid.

    I can’t wait until every company out there knows that if I don’t have a certain product I die and jacks up the price for only me! I also can’t wait for my family to come over and see ads related to my very private diagnosis they know nothing about! I also can’t wait for potential cures to be blocked on my browsing profile because it’ll hinder Amazon’s profits!
