It's not like most people have a choice. It's either Walmart or Target, or go online and use Amazon. That's the point of a monopoly. Eliminate options.
Without looking I'm going to guess ORCL is up 3% today on this news because people are stupid.
Those are the 3. I find Target even with their latest stupidities the lesser of the 3 evils.
Saw someone that is CONVICED that it will end income taxes. All it really does is convert it to sales tax. Which is worse on the poor- since more of their income is spent than for rich people. It's always interesting to see people claim that a "fair tax" or national sales tax is better than income tax- until you point out the obvious problem that it inverts the tax burden from what *should* be the rich solidly down on the poor.
The problem is that there are a number of items that you can only get from the South American river. Which sucks. Even ebay is light on those goods.
It's like when (I think) Jasmine Crockett was questioning the tariffs and the doofus said the tariffs were to encourage people to buy goods made in America and she held up a banana and said, "Do you understand that we can't grow these here?"
