Emmaus label: the social and united French Amazon

Yeah, online sales in general work because oil is artificially cheap.
...

It does not make sense. Whatever the place of delivery, the goods must be delivered to where the customer is. Deliveries are more in the direction of less oil, because the journey made by the delivery person is much less than the multitude of journeys that each customer would have made to go to buy here or there.

Calm down Didier, it's not good for your heart! Don't take my answers personally, I speak, like you, in general ...

The truth is that it is the private power of the GAFA that is making the enormous research effort to bring the first man to Mars ...

So in the end, despite everything we say, the GAFA use the tax money rather well that they do not pay! (good this is to tease)

It's not often but here too I subscribe. While the governments and the small local potentates of the regions, departments or cities, use anyhow public money because it is not theirs, and as a mayor said, since we spend more we must of course increase local taxes, private companies have a little more concern for return on investment and efficiency in the use of expenditure because it is not enough for them to snap in funds, unlike our politicians.
In addition, high-tech companies generate, without imposing it, a strong personal investment, in particular among young engineers and technicians, because it is a challenge, an exploration of virgin fields, a dream. We are always up for the adventure. Aerospace is one of their fields, with augmented reality and even transhumanism, robotics, nano-technologies ...
It is a very positive aspect of the GAFA that they invest in there.
Too bad we hardly have any of this in France. Not the mentality in France, industrialists are classified as polluters, industrialists are classified as profiteers, we must put a spade in their wheels as soon as possible, all this is lousy. Neither the population nor the rulers are in France facilitators of entrepreneurship and even less of gafa businesses. See for example ATTAC which is opposed to Amazon establishments, and all these associations of the extreme left, often subsidized by public money as long as they have succeeded in passing their partisan crusades for interest public.

Exactly, the only area where France still excels worldwide is Luxury ... that is to say the futile ... for the Saudis or other new foreign millionaires ...

It is likely to last the longest when they lose their slaves ...

Ah there was tourism too but it is being rapped at the moment ... but they have already lost their slaves ...

... It is a world organization to also organize tax evasion - sorry, this is only optimization, a priori (perfectly legal).

If it's legal, why mess with them? If politicians and legislators are not doing their job well, they should be blamed.
The world is changing, it is globalizing, and the rulers would not be aware while they are also the promoters (eg with Europe)? Or would they have been so incompetent in the past that they didn't see it coming? Or today so incompetent that they do not know how to act other than by the arbitrariness of a tax?
On the other hand to deprive us of freedom under the pretext of COVID, there they know how. To verbalize mushroom seekers and surfers is their level. But attacking the powerful and the clever, organizing the evolution of legislation, there we no longer see them. I think they are incompetent and even that they are no longer needed, the system has reached its limits.
