I cancelled prime last year.

Suddenly, I see a charge for $152.20 on my bank statement for amazon. I assumed this was credit card fraud, as that seems to happen about annually. Well no, it was Amazon deciding to uncancel my prime account! Those scheister fagots. Well; it has a deal to cancel and be refunded for whatever was not used, and since this was on the very day that they decided to "renew" it, it was all refunded to me, which is nice.

In short, fuck amazon, even when they do get some things kind of right on occasion.

yeah this sort of thing is starting to become a burden on ordinary people. and i dont think that they are done raising the prices since inflation will continue for the foreseeable future.


i mean people are paying 10 bucks for a burger now which is ridiculous in my opinion

For $10, I expect a burger to be extremely excellent.

But yeah, that's just not a thing anymore.
