        Lmao. It might be a skill issue but I’ve noticed a special breed of coward that defends capitalism (while simultaneously being crushed by it) in the hopes that the master will give them a few crumbs somewhere down the line. Sometimes they even sacrifice their own brother for said promise of extra crumbs, it’s disgusting.

    • Amazon undercut them, stole their customers, bought them, and then shut them down.

      How is that “becoming successful but sold out?” Amazon has their hands in so many baskets, from tools and everyday household items to government defense contracts and everything in between, they could afford to lose money on one niche area for probably decades. In contrast, diapers.com sold: diapers and their related accessories, and did not have billions stowed away to undercut Amazon’s prices that they already couldn’t compete with.

      Fuck Amazon and everything they have done to the world.
