Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late

My friend and I took the lead off the school's outdoor toilet block to his uncle who gave us a fiver each for it. Back then that was a lot of money to 12 year old. Didn't shit in the rain after that - and I still don't to this day.

Amazon bought its way into China in 2004 with a takeover of Joyo.com, a popular online seller of books, for about $75 million. “We’re happy to be part of one of the world’s most dynamic markets,” Amazon’s chief executive, Jeff Bezos, said in a statement at the time.

It rebranded the Joyo business in 2011 to Amazon China.

Amazon faced fewer restrictions when it entered China than foreign internet companies face today. But the company struggled to compete with a cast of cutthroat local competitors. It also didn’t adapt well to the unique Chinese market, which is price-sensitive for many goods and favours near instant delivery and a focus on authentic foreign products.

Amazon doesn't make money selling shit. They make their money spying on you. I mean hosting the net, yeah, that's it.

At Pappa and Rachel's place I once asked "Alexa, are you going to take over the world?"

And it replied, "Don't worry, I have nothing to do with Skynet".

:shock: I didn't think you did until you mentioned it!
