That's some bullpoo.

 

Must be a McCrory backdoor deal.

 

 

I believe they built or building warehouse around Winston-Salem so now they have a hub in the state and they required to charge sales tax because they no longer out of state business.

 

Amazon used to be based in California so they only charged sale tax in California... now they have hubs in 20-25 different states and they charge sales tax in all these states.  I'm not sure if their business module will payoff... they want to increase delivery time and convince by charging more... poo, there's walmart on every corner, I can just drive there and get it if it costs the same.

Yeah, same here.  I first got prime for the benefits as I was finishing up undergrad.  You couldn't beat the prices on there a few years back.  Now, there aren't many items I've bought off there that I couldn't find cheaper elsewhere.  This tax only makes it more obvious...  That sucks.

SC tried this when they built a distribution center here.. Amazon got tons of free land tons of tax consessions but Wal Mart tried to block it bc of the unfair practice of no taxes.

Amazon threatened to pull out of the deal bc the no tax thing is sacred to them.

Wally world pulled some deal with the ever purchasable loyalty of the NC government apparently.

Of course this no tax on internet purchases is coming to an end eventually...

It's already like that in West Virginia. Add that to the fact that you now have to spend $35 to get free shipping on items, and the recent overall increase in shipping costs (it's $4 to ship a fuging DVD) and it equals me shopping on Ebay a lot more frequently now.

I haven't paid for shipping on Amazon in years

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
