Yes the proposed Amazon Second Headquarters does look like a manure emoji.

Да предлагаемого второй штаб-квартиры Amazon делает выглядеть навоза смайлики

And it will be built on the glidepath to Reagan International Airport, right across the Potomac, likely visible to Capitol Hill. A reflection of the Congressional building , if you will.

И он будет построен на глиссаде к Международному аэропорту Рейгана, прямо через Потомак, вероятно, видимый с Капитолийского холма. Отражение здания Конгресса , если хотите.

#12 British slang. Famously, in the 1970s BBC comedy "The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin," Reggie opened a doomed (he hoped) shop that sold old bits of trash and scrap recycled into completely useless items. He called it "The Grot Shop."

In America, we call it Amazon. / sarc

#13 "Invention" - sure. What exactly did this little shit "invent"? No software. No hardware that anyone ever wanted to buy. Even his cloud computing is just resuscitating the mainframe -- only now everyone pays a tax to the little walleyed freak in Seattle every time data's exchanged.

In reality, all this asshole did was to hide behind a decades-long tax holiday and then relentlessly use predatory pricing to manipulate markets and suffocate competitors.

Once upon a time, in pre-internet pre-oligarchic America, such predatory pricing and anti-competitive behaviors were illegal.

That Bezos got away with it is testament to the unbelievably corrupt state of America in the last 25 years. Most corrupt era since the Robber Barons.
