37. I blame her

Amazon has an enormous site that interacts with third parties. You think they spent 600 million to create it and another nearly 400 million to fix it? I don't. There are lots of huge sites that work and capable people who built them.

Am I the only one who is pissed about about us being ripped off so a few people could enrich themselves? Why no oversight? This is like MIC stuff. We have people who need help in this country and these no bid, wasteful (probably criminal) contracts should not go unchallenged and unpunished. I have the same standards toward this as the sleaze in the MIC. Theft is theft and that was theft.

Sorry to rant but I'm sick of this bullshit. I'm poor but pay taxes. I pay them for what - so a bunch of already well off people make even MORE money at public expense?
