1. Ah internet the great equalizer. By equalizer I mean boot that stumps the little guy.

2. Or is this on the orders of the big box stores who want us consumers to only buy from them.

3. Funny how these glitches suddenly happen in the height of Consumers Spending.
   It then makes small business even more exposed to bankruptcy.

   Did you get your credit card debt reduced?
   Trudeau, such a great guy, put Canada in further debt to save you those larger interest rates as he can borrow at such low interest rates.
   Ops, sorry, accidentally puked in my mouth.

4. So amazon is paying Facebook to drive all business to them.

5. Bezos is the richest man in the world for a reason. Mea culpa. We do buy a lot of items via Amazon.

   1. He makes up for it by treating his workers like shit.

   2. Mea Culpa as well.

      Don’t really get to shop little guys all that much, mainly big box around here. Costco, Walmart, Canadian Tire, Winners and one big mall of chain stores. Really no difference on which big idiot I buy from.

      We only do the little guy when we wander off to small towns as a tourist, not much of that this year. Won’t go downtown or uptown in Ottawa, too much of a pain to get around with traffic, parking and protests.

      Won’t matter soon anyway, The Duchess is running the bill so high there won’t be anything left next year.

   3. Amazon is convenient once you get used to using it, but they are not the only online retailer. I still buy stuff from amazon, but if there is another retailer with an online option use it first. If you do price comparisons, Amazon is sometimes a lot more expensive.

6. From the article: Jessica Grossman, CEO of the digital marketing firm In Social had to explain to her clients why their sales hit a cliff this week, stating, “Facebook almost doesn’t realize the impact of their own algorithm and what that means.”

   “Almost doesn’t realize” means does realize.

   1. “Almost doesn’t realize”…yeah…just a tiny bit pregnant.

      1. Almost a virgin.

7. I prefer dealing in person with vendors because I like to look at the merchandise to see if it’s what I need.

   A lot of companies closed their retail outlets and now sell their wares on-line. For some of the things I’m looking for, Amazon is the best and easiest source. If nothing else, I at least see detailed pictures of the items, which some of the other outfits don’t provide.

8. Facebook: “While we offer free support for all businesses, we regularly work to improve our tools and systems, and to make the support we offer easier to use and access. IOW we got away with it so don’t give a f**k. Dem dogma.

9. “We apologize for any inconvenience recent disruptions may have caused.”

   There. They apologized. All’s good.

10. Remember most small businesses are just tax dodges for the rich. J. Turdeau.

11. “Free” web-hosting comes with a price tag of being under the thumb of the institutional left and surrendering your privacy. Don’t do business with these hipster creeps.

12. Gotta remember that small business to the big business crowd is just an annoyance, and even businesses with a hundred employees are small business. The real small business is what they are currently trying to eradicate, the two and three employee, or sole owned store is what they are after right now, that is why the 14 day to flatten the curve, times eight month shutdown is continuing. The larger small businesses will probably be dealt with later, gotta bankrupt the really small flea size businesses first, just to clear the decks for the great reset.

13. Remember when business owners understood that vendor lock-in was a serious business risk? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

14. well quit fcukin using fakebook then.
    come up with your OWN social media platform.
