There's going to be much anger in this thread.
Seeing as how Amazon just raised monthly pricing, people should question it:
Amazon is raising the price of Prime monthly memberships by nearly 20 percent

If I was poor, an amazon prime account isn’t what I’d be spending money on.
So poor people don’t want to save money?
Amazon is usually cheaper for many items.

Lots, if not most, poor people aren't smart enough to realize that spending $20/month or whatever it is can actually save them money.

In the past, Wal-mart has been cheaper, but the difference is seemingly an average of 0.3%
A 2-year price study put Walmart and Amazon head-to-head — and the results should terrify Amazon

Not cheaper than Walmart. They’ve stepped their online game up and you don’t have to pay yearly for it.

Sounds like amazon wants the Walmart customer base then.
So offer them a discount/incentive.

This is exactly what I just said just without the Walmart reference.

There's a ton of good bulk buys on Amazon. Especially groceries.

Bulk buys save money, but you have to have a bit more to afford them. Poor people aren’t looking at the price per ounce between the 5 pound bag of rice and the 50 pound one, they’re looking at the $5 vs the $30 total cost.

People complain about Medicaid but my gf wanted to see the baby so we went to the emergency room and she said she had abdominal pains so they rushed us right in and did an ultrasound. It's really not that bad

On highways, there will be no tolls for medicaid recipients.
Airline tickets will be discounted based on income status.
Special subsidized loans will be provided so people from lower incomes can afford a house in your neighborhood.
The more money you make, the more you are charged. So don't bother trying to earn more.

i don't have a problem with this,as long as regular customers aren't subsidizing it for them.

Basically lowering quality of life for everyone as you create a larger "lower class" group via progressive pricing on everything. More people needing some kind of assistance via the federal government or via, apparently, large scale corporations.
I mean, if Wal-Mart or Amazon created the environment where everyone had to shop at Wal-Mart or Amazon, well that is ideal.
