Why did Amazon offer vaccine distribution help to Biden but


Jan 21, 2021, 4:11 PM

not Trump? Or was it offered to Trump and refused?

Biden is a Prime member.***

My money is on either


Jan 21, 2021, 4:15 PM

1) Trump is such an honorable man that he wouldn't knowingly accept assistance from a company owned by a liberal

2) Trump was too busy trying to convince America that he won the election

3) Amazon, as a company operating in a free market (non-communist, of course) society, and not being responsible for being stewards of public health, are doing this as a courtesy to Joe. See point #1. The Democrats own big tech monopolies who want to suppress our free speech...and vice versa.

That's what I love about NON-SOCIALISM. Amazon doesn't HAVE to do anything.

So, they could have helped save lives - but decided not to


Jan 21, 2021, 4:17 PM

until they could do it as a favor to Joe?

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I was being somewhat facetious.


Jan 21, 2021, 4:23 PM

I think there are probably other factors at play that I'm not privy to.

If they DID withhold this sort of aid for political reasons, it would help make my point that "the free market" is not always necessarily a good thing when it comes to the best interests of the public.

I am finally with you, but dont think that

Amazon is doing this out of the good of their heart. They will use leverage to get free vaccinations for their employees, ahead of the elderly more than likely by calling them essential. Then they will also be able to save on their health care, as well as be able to use it as a PR moment.

Amazon doesnt care about anything but Amazon and this is the best way to keep workers working and profits rolling and be able to decree themselves as the savior of the US

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


This is probably true...


Jan 21, 2021, 4:23 PM

since the only letter Amazon has come up with that they sent the CDC under Trump is one asking to have their employees deemed essential for purposes of vaccine distribution.

I am going to wait a day or two to get the whole story before I make up my mind about it.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Only plausible explanation is that...


Jan 21, 2021, 4:17 PM

Trump's plan called for distribution to states who would then distribute to people. Biden's plan is more top down so maybe federal coordination with Amazon is more feasible.

However, I'm confident there is a healthy dose of billionaire ego involved since Trump and Bezos didn't like each other at all.

It'll be interesting to hear if anyone asks Bezos that

Because Biden knows who's boss

2024 orange level member flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Are you familiar with the history of Trump


Jan 21, 2021, 5:21 PM

And Bezos?

This is what happens when centralized power—public and private—is in the hands of two colossal a-holes.

Actually - not familiar. Thanks for the link. Bezos would

have to be a colossal a-hole to withhold help just because he doesn't like the guy in charge.

Because trump treats people like garbage. Most of us learned these things in 1st grade.

Trump can dish it out, but cries when he is treated poorly.

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Ask the nearest 1st grader, they’ll explain it to you.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I get what you're saying and agree with your assessment


Jan 22, 2021, 6:54 AM

of how Trump treats people, BUT...


Withholding help with vaccine distribution doesn't hurt Trump, it hurts the entire population of this country.


Bezos can take a long walk on a short pier if what you said is true.
