$20 Ain’t Much...Or is it?

 Amazon Prime has now increased its annual fee by another $20...

Ø I first signed up for Amazon Prime at their Startup Fee of $79 per year.

Ø The Fee was increased to $99 in 2014 and I signed up for the $20 increase.

Ø The Fee was increased to $119 in 2018 and I signed up for the $20 increase.

Ø The Fee has now increased to $139 and a little voice somewhere inside of me said, “Whoa!

I’ve now decided that Amazon has enough Prime Money. The way things are going somewhere in our bleak future (somewhere around 2072) one of the members of our 2% Approval Rated Congresses is going to decide to pass Stimulus Bill #753 in order to garner some votes just prior to an election and the Head Bean Counter is going to say, “Whoa!”

Congress is going to say to the Head Bean Counter, “What do you mean by saying “Whoa?” and the Bean Guy is going to say, “There is no money left. Amazon has it all”.

************

Please allow me to explain how we might get to this point...

Ø At present Amazon has 310,000,000+ Members. (Are you wondering how many “+” is? So am I.)

Ø Recently the fee was increased by another “only” $20.

Ø 310,000,000 members X $20 = $6,200,000,000+...that’s $6.2 Billion with a B. (Don’t forget the “+” ... However many that is?)

Should Amazon worry about me since I’ve decided to say, “Whoa! Enough is enough. I ain’t gonna give you my $20”. (Actually a total of $139 for the year!)

I don’t think they will since, because of my boycott, Amazon will still pocket $6,199,999,980+ from this latest “only” $20 Increase. A little voice somewhere inside of me just said, “Don't fret for Amazon, Fella, they will get along just fine without you”.

Would I kid u?
