The NY Times exposes a horrific Morgan Stanley honcho. Geez, sexual harassers and abusers on Wall Street - who knew? My two cents, relying on my fading memory, is that Hollywood and the Legacy Media needed to clean their own houses in order to maintain a shred of credibility as the Trump Resistance. As a related example - Al Franken was getting a pass from his fellow Dem Senators until polls showed that the Democrats might actually win in Alabama if they showed a bit of consistency while screaming about the shenanigans of Republican nominee Roy Moore.
In any case, the political imperatives of Wall Street and Big Business are different, so they got off easy. So far.
No big consequences for these predators.

Threadkiller,
Some information on Amazon from ChiTown Lurker, who knows about this stuff:
Bezos strings out his Accounts Payable to 18-24 months instead of the 90 days more commonly accepted by the IRS. Bezos does this to stiff his vendors once they are on board. It's a form of monopoly pricing and apparently leaves him open to charges of tax fraud.
I would say that if the President is tweeting about Amazon, there is deleterious information already in fed custody.

I am bringing over the President's tweet on Amazon because what he says is very relevant:
Donald J. Trump
Verified account @realDonaldTrump

I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!
=====================================
That comment about the postal service is quite true.
When I had my eBay store I usually shipped by Priority Mail because eBay had worked out a discount for their retailers if you printed your shipping labels on line.
The discount was approximately 25% of what it would cost if you went to the post office and shipped from there.
At the tie, I wondered about this because it seemed to me that this was a money loser for the USPS. However, I figured it was to get shipping business away from USPS and Fed Ex. I also thought that perhaps they had calculated how much labor and material were saved by me doing the shipping label generation and maybe it all worked out.
The post office used to make a lot of money from first class letters. That is no longer the case with the rise of email and social media, on-line banking and bill-paying, etc. I think they wanted to pick up shipping business to generate additional income.
However, the deal they worked out with eBay seems flawed to me, especially because they will also give you free boxes which you can order in bulk shipped to your nome, for free!
Now, enter Amazon, who must have worked out an even crappier deal for them. President Trump must go bonkers looking at this stuff.
Amazon has so many predatory practices I cannot name them all, but certainly undercutting local retailers by using the US government postal operation (and stiffing it as well) has to be one of them. It is almost impossible to buy a book locally here, especially if you want something on a specialized subject. ToysRUs has gone under.
I am not against Amazon in theory, but they do have a lot of questionable business practices.

Remember the Washington Post story last November, "Trump promotes his New Jersey golf course during speech to South Korea parliament"?
Here is what he said:
Your wealth is measured in more than money — it is measured in achievements of the mind and achievements of spirit. Over the last several decades, your scientists of engineers — have engineered so many magnificent things. You’ve pushed the boundaries of technology, pioneered miraculous medical treatments, and emerged as leaders in unlocking the mysteries of our universe.
Korean authors penned roughly 40,000 books this year. Korean musicians fill concert halls all around the world. Young Korean students graduate from college at the highest rates of any country. And Korean golfers are some of the best on Earth.
Fact — and you know what I’m going to say — the Women’s U.S. Open was held this year at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, and it just happened to be won by a great Korean golfer, Sung-hyun Park. An eighth of the top 10 players were from Korea. And the top four golfers — one, two, three, four — the top four were from Korea. Congratulations. (Applause.) Congratulations. And that’s something. That is really something.
...
But the Post said he was just promoting his golf course.

Wasn't this the basis for Trump's explanation as to why he had some of his products made overseas?
During the campaign I remember him explaining how businessman think. Because China manipulated their currency and America was so stupid, he took the best advantage for himself. His plan was to make America not so stupid anymore.
Under that framework, didn't Bezos take advantage of a stupid American system? Trump should be hounding the Postal dealmakers in his tweets.
If something is in the works to slam Amazon on some tax crime, just do it. His tweet clues are no better than the actions of what his name that tanked the stock market with the false report on Trump's Russian connections.
He is using Twitter as leverage over an American company that he does not like. I don't think that is appropriate.

Because there are close to zero prog Evangelicals the Dems have no clue what motivates us.
They either think we believe we are sinless or cannot tolerate it in others.
The opposite of both is the truth. We acknowledge all of us are sinners and that there is no rigid hierarchy of sin; it all separates us from God and in our unregenerate state makes us His enemies.
Because we recognize our own sins mean in the spiritual sense we deserve the same reward as an ax murderer we are nearly infinitely more tolerant of the weaknesses in our fellow man than the judgmental rigid secular scolds of the authoritarian left.
We don't look to a pol for our salvation for there is none there. We look to him to advance our interests like other sensible voters and whoever he might be we KNOW no matter who he is in fact going to be a sinner just like us. it is the progs who are forever seeking their earthly flavor-of-the-month messiah riding into DC on a Dem donkey.

So nobody here, not even the ambulance chasers, wants to talk about the merits of Manafort's attorneys suit to dismiss the charges against their client because Rosenstein has no authority to approve anything beyond that which Sessions recused himself from?

Posted by: Captain Hate | March 29, 2018 at 10:40 AM
Amazon was historically, fiercely opposed to sales taxes because it gave them an inherent advantage over those businesses that have to collect it.
It then made a conscious decision to emphasize delivery as their competitive advantage by expanding shipping centers exponentially which meant they could no longer avoid most sales taxes because they had physical presence everywhere, so they explicitly changed their stance on the collection of sales taxes on internet sales.
Their "negotiations" with the USPS were integral to that strategy.
Posted by: Ignatz Ratzkiwatzki | March 29, 2018 at 10:41 AM
It would be a good opportunity for Trump to force the USPS off the dole. Who knows if they actually lose money with Amazon? I suspect a lot of their losses are overhead more than operating losses.

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
