A country’s survival depends on the intelligence of its voters. Books are essential to the evolution of human intelligence. The policies of Jeff Bezos below must be penalized because they degrade human intelligence, defraud buyers and sellers, insult scientists, and disrespect the US tax law and the US taxpayers.
Amazon customers are misled by manipulated sales ranks since Amazon encourages authors and publishers to buy their own books in order to raise their sales ranks which affect their sales revenues. Amazon sellers buy their own products without knowing that their act only fuels Amazon’s monopolistic status which is likely the reason for showing the sales information to the potential buyers and sellers. Amazon buyers buy products whose sales ranks are high without knowing that those ranks have been manipulated by the scheme. Ethical store owners do not practice Amazon’s policy even though the same sales ranking system has been always available for them.
Galileo Galilei’s scientific discovery appears to be less valuable than JK Rowling’s story of wizards and witches (magicians) according to Amazon’s sales ranking system which changes the sales revenue. Values are expressed by earnings. Thus, JK Rowling’s book is much more valuable than Galilei’s scientific discovery according to Amazon’s policy. Young children will learn and believe that wizards and witches are more important than scientists due to Amazon’s ranking policy.
Amazon also devalues invaluable intellectual properties by hiring unqualified Amazon influencers whose compensation is free products in exchange of speedy product reviews. Their uninterested and unqualified reviews defame and damage the reputations of producers and their products, which is the subject to defamation lawsuits in class actions. How is it possible for those shoppers, who receive free products, to write scientific reviews for voluminous scientific discoveries within 1-2 days or 1-2 weeks? How is it possible for them to mention prices which are the expressions of values? To evaluate values, they should understand the products first. All ratings and reviews posted by Amazon influencers should be scrutinized and taken down immediately and the FTC must impose fines on all reviews posted by Amazon influencers who have been hired by Amazon.
Amazon injects its propaganda into products by hiring influencers whose words change sales ranks and sales revenues. Amazon established a society where people judge books by Amazon sales ranks or by a bidding process for advertisements because only the higher bidders can advertise meaning that only the higher bidders’ products are exposed to customers. This process enriches Amazon. Amazon created a society where scientists are disrespected and only the highest bidders can advertise which violates anti-trust law.
Scientists would not want to share their knowledge with book readers due to Amazon influencers who disguise themselves as readers and due to Amazon sales ranking system. Amazon policy helps Amazon maintain its monopolistic and narcissistic status around the world, which violates anti-monopoly law. When a fisher bombs all ships around the world, an international organization would intervene. When an American businessman is harming scientists and other stores around the world, the UN and the FTC must intervene.
Americans were ashamed when Jeff Bezos spent $47-56 million in Italy for his wedding after he had reportedly evaded the federal income tax in 2007. The narcissistic conduct of Bezos is not distant from his Amazon policy because those two schemes help Jeff Bezos only. Amazon’s payment ($48 million) for the documentary of Melania Trump is subject to investigation because bribery is often money-laundered as a product or a service. You can easily guess who was invited to the wedding. If IRS did not investigate Amazon for tax evasion, bribery was likely the cause.
Store owners or investors are not supposed to be richer than manufacturers and workers. Those who have talents and knowledge are supposed to be wealthier than the people who have nothing but money (paper) or lands (soil). How will the world evolve with paper and soil only?
