Amazon: ‘Negotiating The Best Deal’ Amongst Authorities – Is Most Ever Cronyism, Non Capitalism

A Heaping Pile of Cronyism

by Seton Motley, Contributing Author: H5N1 really fortunate role of my really fortunate gig is – I larn to create a lot of radio interviews.

Thanks inwards no small-scale role to Rush Limbaugh (re-)creating political verbalize radio – Marconi project opportunities own got been created throughout the land. Under the Limbaugh banner are thousands of nationally in addition to regionally syndicated – in addition to thousands to a greater extent than local – hosts plying their radio wares.

And equally the Jurassic Press angrily, incessantly reminds us – it is a medium dominated past times conservatives in addition to less regime types.

Now admittedly, much nigh which I speak on-the-air – is alongside in addition to for receptive, agreeing hosts. But non always. There are times when I have force dorsum to what I proffer.

These instances did inwards fact growth during the rising of now-President Donald Trump. I was a fairly enthusiastic Candidate Trump fan – quite a few hosts…not so much. To their credit: As the Trump Administration became the most conservative since at to the lowest degree the Calvin Coolidge Administration – much of the hosts’ resistance bled into varying degrees of support.

But I sure nevertheless have opposition to my unerring, eternal correctness. One such event final calendar week was actually emblematic of a tipping indicate we’re way past times – but way too many conservatives haven’t yet noticed.

The Second Era of the Robber Barons has arrived – in addition to it is way worse than the first.

Big Tech companies similar Apple (market cap: $1.1 trillion), Amazon (market cap: $1 trillion) in addition to Google (market cap: $852 billion) – are WAY richer than their Era One Robber Baron predecessors.

But this fourth dimension circular is way worse – generally because governments everywhere are SO much larger at nowadays than then.

Silicon Valley Robber Barons Are Using Government As a Weapon Against Us:

“Back then, the size, orbit in addition to sphere of influence of our nation’s governments was exceedingly small. They weren’t capable of existence used against us equally anything to a greater extent than than pea shooters. Sure, businesses bribed governments into cronyism – but their tininess made it an almost wholly ineffectual practice.

“Today’s behemoth bloated bureaucracies – are nuclear bombs. Eminently worth today’s Robber Barons bribing them into action.

“We at nowadays own got a HUGE federal regime – in addition to thousands of province in addition to local regime hugenesses – all bulling their way through our china store economy. And all steerable inwards your direction – alongside merely the right amount of crony cash.”

And possibly no Big Tech Robber Baron monstrosity has ameliorate bent regime to its volition – than Amazon.

Amazon: One Of The Biggest Of Bigfoot Cronyism-Recipient Lobbyists

In that piece, nosotros explored the rapid ramp-up of Amazon’s massive lobbying efforts – inwards DC in addition to inwards regime centers all some the country. And nosotros looked at the incredible local-government-cronyism success Amazon has had – including the tens of billions dollars inwards government-money-bribe offers it has received to locate their novel headquarters hither or there.

But of course of education Amazon is suffering no shortage of federal regime cronyism. And it was 1 event thereof – nigh which I received verbalize radio pushback final week.

I cited this: Uber-Crony Amazon – Is About To Get The Biggest Crony Deal In DC’s Awful History:

“‘(O)n July 26, the Defense Department issued a asking for proposals called JEDI, brusque for Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure. Whoever winds upwards landing the winner-take-all contract volition travel awarded $10 billion – immediately becoming 1 of America’s biggest federal contractors.

“‘But when JEDI was issued, on the 24-hour interval Congress recessed for the summer, the bargain appeared to travel rigged inwards favor of a unmarried provider: Amazon.

“‘According to insiders familiar alongside the 1,375-page asking for proposal, the linguistic communication contains a host of technical stipulations that entirely Amazon tin ship away meet, making it difficult for other leading cloud-services providers to win—or fifty-fifty apply for—the contract.’”

Get all that? The regime drafted a contractor proposal for a massive $10 billion gig. And carefully contorted its linguistic communication inwards such a way – so that entirely Amazon tin ship away qualify for what is putatively an “open bid process.”

We less regime types own got pushed for to a greater extent than regime outsourcing – in addition to opened upwards bid processes. And nosotros succeeded.

Unfortunately, DC corruption has successfully poisoned this attempted un-poisoning effort.

And so it is alongside the Defense Department’s $10 billion cloud computing bid process.

Thankfully – the bargain ain’t yet done.

Here’s hoping somebody (and to a greater extent than preferably – several someones) likewise merely massive-crony $1 TRILLION Amazon gets the gig.

You desire to Drain the Swamp?

Stopping this nonsense – is precisely what Draining the Swamp looks like.
