I pay 14.99 a month for prime I think. Now I might add the charge to my phone plan instead as there was a change with the carrier. I just ordered some stuff this month and watched stuff on prime video. ---

Prime is amazing. I still remember when it came out, I thought “that’s a stupid idea”. Now I can’t live without it. lol. ---

> [@DthBreath](#): > > Don’t buy a straight razor. lol. No danger of that. I even manage to cut myself with disposables now and then. Hope you heal faster than I do. Diabetes doesn’t affect my life much but it sure affects healing speed. ---

To think about it maybe it would be the best thing for you. I saw that neck of yours and it could really use some trimming. Anyways I’m trying to seal a slice up on my face. ---

I think over 70% voted against. I don’t know if this is a good thing. My guess is no. Amazon is too big. They need to pay more taxes. That’s probably the bigger issue. Perhaps being global makes taxes complicated. Who should they pay the taxes to? Besides me? ---

I generally don’t like unions, but some Amazon worker conditions are disgraceful. Something needs to be done but that something doesn’t have to be a union imo. ---

I don’t understand why people vote against their own self interest. Similar to working people voting for republicans. ---
