What does a TRUMP presidency look like?

The Ebay model was more auction style than aggregating resellers.  Jeff Bezos handle on how to play the bankers against themselves for his benefits is astonishing.

By late 2000s they started to de-emphasize auctions in favor of set prices in order to challenge Amazon, but they never caught up. They are still chugging along though.

I wonder if Amazon had not existed, wether the Ebay model could have triumphed instead. That is, an online retailer that aggregates small individual sellers and puts them in contact with customers, instead of somebody like Amazon that has its own inventory and replaces those retailers (I'm aware that Amazon now runs 3rd party sellers too, but I don't know how big that part of their business is).

EDIT: Doing some research, I see that 50% of Amazon sales in the US com from 3rd party sellers. That's interesting.

I was going say third party is a big part of items sold on Amazon.

So... is Hillary trying to take credit for the me too movement?

Daily mail, so take it for what it is

While that is true I think that doesn't give enough credit to Jeff Bezos & the monster he created.

And I think that your demonization of Bezos is simplistic and overwrought.

A classic Daily Fail headline and link that is immediately exposed as a lie in the story itself.  I simply don't know how anyone with self-respect would write for the Fail, when they know that the editors there will work hard to trash any legitimacy the writer's story may have had, just to squeeze out a few more clicks from the gullible.

I don't want to demonize him, I want to praise him.

Overwrought by who?

[grumbler]

I don't want to demonize him, I want to praise him.

Overwrought by who?

Ah.  Maybe you should learn what the phrase "the monster he created" means before you use it, thinking it is praise.  It isn't a compliment. 

Real estate developers are salivating at the thought of what the collapse of retail is going to the cost of prime real estate.

[Eddie Teach]

Monster doesn't have to be a negative term. Maybe they are just misunderstood.

No, I don't. You are just old.

[grumbler]

No, I don't. You are just old.

Ah, the ad hom concession.  My work here is done.

Context is everything.

[Grey Fox]

No, I don't. You are just old.

Ah, the ad hom concession.  My work here is done.

No, you have done nothing. You cite context & then ignore the context of who was writing when nitpicking if monster is negative or positive.

[grumbler]

Nope.  Once you concede by resorting to the ad hom, you are done.  No take backs.

[crazy canuck]

For the record, I was making fun of Grumbler.

For the record, I was making fun of GF.

And I was making fun of Grumbler.

No, I don't. You are just old.

My work here is done.

We can only hope

Nope. 

Damn

Yeah it is pretty wild. Almost as wild as people who will then post links to the Flail not in a jokey manner.
