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

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      I mean I think its a bit disingenuous to call basically anyone here a casual fan. I don't think the casual fan creates a profile then logs into it, in the offseason, to comments on mundane offseason topics.. I dont think anyone on here would be considered a casual fan. That said, I get your point. My POV is from the player. They sign this contract, move their family because of these contracts. When Clowney came him, we basically had a coming home party for him.  So yeah, I get why we did it and I know that ultimately the owner doesnt 'save' money, but I can feel for the human side of the player, which is why I want them to get all they can while they can.

      My guess is the NBA will either send Flagg back “home” to the Northeast in Brooklyn or Washington, or San Antonio so that they can keep building around Wemby. If I was a betting man I would take the odds on the Spurs. This definitely feels like a #1 pick that they will rig.

      In fairness, she is ensuring she is talked about.  People really aren’t going out there way to bring her up.  It’s some weird poo.  She would end up getting talked about given her actions if she was 40. Bill realizing some of these high end “companions” got a game of their own.  That’s what I don’t think Bill saw coming.
