Amazon has pushed more and more of its sellers into using its shipping
and logistics network, called Fulfillment by Amazon.
Amazon's $185 Billion Pay-to-Play System
:
Well on its way to being the global gatekeeper of e-commerce, Amazon is
projected to rake in $185 billion from third-party sellers. Whether its
tactics are legal is a different question. David Dayen has the story.
Winning the Ideas, Losing the Politics
:
Progressives have won on the terrain of ideas, but political reality has
yet to catch up. Read Robert Kuttner on how Democrats need everything to
go right for them in 2024 to meaningfully win back our democracy:
UAW Strikes Built the American Middle Class
:
Reflecting on today's generation of striking workers, Harold Meyerson
writes about how the UAW's 1945-1946 strike against General Motors
showed that militant labor action could lift workers into prosperity.
The GOP is the Party of Corrupt Oligarchy
:
Today's GOP selects for corrupt bureaucrats who will shill for the
billionaire class at every opportunity. It's not a flaw in the system,
Ryan Cooper writes, but as designed.
Jackson Out of Sight As Mississippi Goes to the Polls
:
Jackson's water crisis continues to plague residents and damage
Mississippi's reputation at home and abroad. But on the campaign
trail, neither candidate for governor has said much about it. Gabrielle
Gurley has the story.
