It's funny that a paper owned by Jeff Bezos is reporting on a company owned by Jeff Bezos cutting the prices of another company just bought by Jeff Bezos

- grandalf 9y agoTrue. I predict that in 20 years he'll be the richest man in the world many times over, things are just getting started.
- Robelius 9y agoI’ll check back in 20 years and hold you to your word.
- adventist 9y agoI'd doubt that these links will work in 20 years.
- mcny 9y agoI started thinking but all comments are available on firebase as if firebase will continue to exist in twenty years.
- krisoft 9y agoUse the http://longbets.org/ http://longbets.org/ platform. Oh wait. Another Bezos project. :)
- panarky 9y agoIt's fun to bash on great accumulations of power, that's my instinct too. But despite all the controversial things Amazon has done, they still seem to live up to their #1 leadership principle [0]: Customer Obsession - Leaders start with the customer and work backwards. They work vigorously to earn and keep customer trust. Although leaders pay attention to competitors, they obsess over customers. Since the first result of the WF acquisition is lower prices for customers, it looks like that tradition continues. If Amazon makes good on their third principle, "Invent and Simplify", they'll fund lower prices with higher efficiency and greatly expand the number of people who can afford WF quality.

- bickfordb 9y agoI don't believe Amazon has a public customer service phone number where you can speak with a human.
- tomdell 9y agoThey do, actually.
- boulos 9y agoYep: 1-866-216-1072 is the general line. You can find this by signing in, clicking on customer service and going through the menu options where they try to route you to a specialized call.
- dmd 9y agohttps://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+customer+service+phone+number https://www.google.com/search?q=amazon+customer+service+phon... wow, that was hard.
- qq66 9y agoNot only do they have such a number, but at least the last time I called that number, there wasn't even a voice menu where I had to "press 0" to talk to an operator. I dialed the number and a human picked up the phone.
- syphon7 9y agoThey do, and they'll even redirect you to aws if you call the wrong one.
- AznHisoka 9y agoNo but they have a ridiculously friendly refund policy. You can lie and say you saw someone stole your package from the front porch and they will give you a refund the next day.
- boulos 9y agoI know who I am! I'm a dude playing the dude, disguised as another dude! Just a nit though on your last one: Amazon bought Whole Foods, not Bezos, so that's "run by" or something.
- ryanSrich 9y agoAmazon = Bezos...even more so than any other company.
- heisenbit 9y agoWe are back to the golden times (not so golden for most) of the steel, oil and railroad tycoons. The ability to assemble and run such disparate enterprises may be a function of wealth distribution.
