united states army and the military and general is so reliance on the private sector. i would call that dependency, but we don't know who's the on the ground presence of these companies overseas. we just don't out west and private military companies can in their turn views. so cool subcontractors from countries with trouble pass. the chances are quite good that they had also been child diligence processes. i was a child, as well as my job professional growth is he's with me for one full 41. if i said that looked with no flaw, minimum own law, which i mean to be merciless killing machines, and now they fight and die in other people's was people carol, lot one and a dead soldier or dead marine shows up in this country. and we start asking yourself, why did they die? why do what were they fighting for?

nobody bothers asked about that contractors in and out if guys drunk, you know, come out here and back underneath, right. just to put a space ship deal out here. i got to be drank, and some kind of bad whisky. sam is tricky. i guess he's got enough money to do it . whatever he wants to do, he's 80 at the money to play the game. ah,

probably 10 miles outside a town highway. 62 or a lady is 45 miles and they own so, oh no, i don't want anything out. this is interesting but she have to have the key or to get in the minus 19876. just like an average ordinary guy until you talk to him and then you realize this guy's go on. always play the no shortage or

one number one is amazon founder and ceo. jeff bass s. he is the 1st 20000000000 people, the latino fortune due back on them as on the fussy so media. to do that, i'm using my resources to put in place heavy lifting and infrastructure so that the next generation of people can have a dynamic entrepreneurial explosion into space. ha. is you're still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos?

amazon is the largest store in the world. it sends out $150.00 parcels per 2nd, adding up to 5000000000 each year. it's boss jeff bezos has

a single obsession to sell everything instantly everywhere and to satisfy his customers every desire without delay. there are 300000000 amazon customers worldwide today. the multinational company is revolutionizing commerce. and the way we consume it is even succeeded in shrinking time and space.

hey. how exactly is amazon taking over the whole planet? what does jeff bezos want that he doesn't already have? what future does the multinational wish to impose on us and at what cost? with our story begins in 1094 in the seattle suburb jeff bezos, a 30 something wall street expatriate creates amazon in his garage and

jeff basis and what are your, what is your claim to fame and the founder of amazon dot com. where did you get an idea for amazon dot com? well, 3 years ago, i was in new york city where he for quantitative hedge fund. when it came across the startling statistic, the web usage was great in 2300 percent a year. so i decided i would try and find a business plan that made sense in the context that grow with in the beginning they were only 3. 1 of the things it was really happening in seattle of that time was grudge. so, so you had nevada and pearl jam and all that kind of music. so there were plaid shirts on on everyone. paul davis is one of the programmers who developed amazon's very 1st website. at amazon itself. what was out in a suburb dut really was very far from the city and clubs and any kind of

obscene that that might be happening. there were basically 2 programmers working hard running code. and jeff, working hard on, on the sort of business he so i of, of the new company there wasn't this kind of really fuel energy, you know, like, oh my god, you know, what's going to be a goal today? well, what are we going to take off than i am? i got if that isn't done isn't done tonight, things fall apart. it was more just a case of but sonically working. as quickly as, as we could buy books arrived, somebody was gonna have to pack them up and ship them out. and so on top of that will be jeff. this is like the super early days when it was really just still the 3 of us plus his wife working part time. so sometimes it will be white mckenzie. sometimes it would even be shell roy if there weren't that many and we won't super hide off and something this is at a time where, you know, it typically we were handling, you know, maybe less than 20 books per day or something.

mm 25 years later, amazon no longer sends 20 parcels, but 14000000 a day. the company owns over 250 warehouses and delivered on 5 continents or amazon success coach stacy mitchell's attention. she heads the institute for local self reliance research center, studying the evolution of the american economy. for the past 10 years, she's been closely monitoring the growth of the beast. amazon is like,

it's like this invisible force. you know, it's got, it's tend to holes in so many aspects of the economy. there's nothing that amazon isn't trying to get into there. now the biggest clothing retailer in the us and they produce a lot of clothing. bookstores, toys, stores, hardware stores, kind of grown invisibly. it doesn't get noticed are covered by the media and the same way because it's not physically present except in just a few places. amazon is growing so rapidly, they are creating a lot of jobs, but as they grow, they're destroying a lot of jobs. and we found that for everyone, new amazon job that had been created, there were 2 jobs that were lost at existing businesses. we have lost about 85000 an independent small businesses in the last 10 years. we've lost about $35000.00 small and mid sized manufacturers. you amazon is that the only cost, but it's the top cause of those losses.

mm. stacy mitchell investigates amazon strategy of con, pushed a balancing act that they seem to walk between slowly taking over everything and rapidly taking over everything and yet not being so visible that people become alarmed. since i'm way is we're, you know, the train has left the station and as a society, if we're gonna try to figure out how to bring that back, it's much harder to do now than it would've been 10 years ago. if we had noticed what was really happening in the united states, amazon now controls half of all online commerce. the company leads online sales in clothing, electronics books, dds personal care and the products ah,

it also offers the video on demand, online music, streaming video games, data storage insurance, as well as drugs. amazon also embodies a certain vision of america, progressive and liberal. its acquisition of whole foods leader of high end organic produce is a good example. jeff bezos is a complex character. he's a ceo as well as an investor, but in 2013, he personally acquired the washington post. one of the most prestigious newspapers in the u. s. ah, step by step. the amazon empire extends its grip on the world. he really hit amazon and this point represents the transformation of the american economy. i mean, you know, the old saying when i 1st came the street and kind of back in the day was what's

good for gm is good for the country today. that's largely amazon as largest market cap company it's, it's greatly intertwined with the entire american global economy. amazon essentially controls the marketplace. it's not really a market, it's a private arena. amazon sets the rules. it gives the side which companies get the best spots which companies rank in the search rankings. who can even be there, what they're allowed to sell, how they can communicate with their customers, what they have to pay in order to be part of it. the old saying is, if it walks like a duck quacked like a duck, it's a duck. so amazon looks like monopoly trades like a monopoly makes money like a monopoly behaves like monopoly. so when i looked at it, you have to use monopolies in the traditional sense, upon a comparable type company. the real definition of a monopoly is when you have the ability to control the terms by which

other player is, can access the market. when you have that kind of power to dictate what happens and amazon has that power, amazon has become a kind of gatekeeper. and their strategy is very much about being the e commerce platform for the entire world. ah, there may, may, we should all be mayor. may, we should all be angry because of what's going on. right. can't understand united states history and the role that slavery plate was already a very formal institution. by the time united states became a nation. it actually the find the nation, the rise of capitalism clearly on the backs of flight and the slave down if you had

investigated lynchings. any great extent, you believe a country and country still stands in brick. i'm from the south. everybody know, know what this thing to some extent. i would argue that we're still fighting the civil war in the south is winning with now we know you in earth is he is a sphere. he will foster you will fall off the end and the other side of it came from and you're back home. so i would like to envision that, you know, does it also the universe, if you live and it's just like that you're on the action due to and from the other side,

amazon is conquering one territory after another. after the u. s. jeff bezos still control of england, germany, france, japan, canada, italy, spain, brazil, mexico, and australia. today, the decisive battle for the company is taking place in india ah, in 2013 amazon arrived in india with the intention of gaining control of a market estimated at $100000000000.00, conquer or fault. what

demons on has been able to achieve globally is to been able to vin, pretty much all the major markets globally, right, whether it is in europe or in u. s. and some of the other asian markets as well outside of china. the only better seized of it is still open is india? so a, this is the only battle field is open be does a significant large faddle feet. and another one with india is the fastest growing economy in the world with a 7 percent growth in 2017. although was only

in recent years, some 200000000 indians have joined the middle class dramatically increasing the number of internet users and eager consumers. as a result, indian e commerce is growing by 30 to 50 percent every year. amazon is not the only company trying to tap into this growth. competing with jeff bezos as flip car, the leader of the indian market founded by 2 ex amazon employees and paid him a new startup financed by chinese giant ali baba. the 3 of them are waging a multi $1000000000.00 commercial war. in his 1st year, jeff bezos invested $2000000000.00 and then $2000000000.00 more the following year

. to gain market share, amazon has already invested $5000000000.00 in india without seeing a profit. all these 3 our players are armed till the top. oh, they have a lot of finish and lot of funding. big guys, backing up so you don't see anyone falling apart any time soon. the battle gets even more complex. as these multi national corporations are facing a very strong nationalist pushback in india, this is the case in old delhi, the commercial district of the indian capital. here, commercial structures have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. um i know that budget

and some of them are gonna be ready for met that. busy sitting at this table and 15 angry men, the largest group of merchants in old building each own several shops in the neighborhood. they are the 1st to feel the impact of amazon's presence. maybe you can get you know, the merchants of old delhi are worried, but they have a major asset to slow down amazon's rise.

they formed the electoral base of the b, j. p. the party empower and india since 2014 its leader prime minister and her and ramadi, promotes an exacerbated form of nationalism and defense. protection is the view of the economy. the indian government recently introduced a bill that could severely limit amazon's room to maneuver, notably by preventing it from under cutting prices. jeff bezos had to engage in a diplomatic game. he regularly meets with prime minister modi. it's a significant stick for amazon and for, for the kind of investments which amazon has been doing in market as a reflection of the find that house heedlessly the think this market and if it

fails oh, to deflect vod in a global movie all for amazon. it's, it's not a regional story, it's a, it's a go global story for a, a to counter the americans, the merchantable. deli, have a plan to ensure the government doesn't forget them. a

pleasure for the 5 or 10 years down the line. go down, deep pockets. if they can afford to have a big office, that is why they are coming through. and yeah, you can see any example in there was there ever been in the question of best they can get a better one market as of now again, then you did monopoly guy. that is, why did you, ah, this bus will go around the country to alert other merchants and the population at large of the threat that looms over india or even already have with

o. in 2018, amazon announced its intention to invest yet again another $2000000000.00 in the country did operations in india have so far resulted in a net loss of $883000000.00. investing massive amounts of money often at a loss in order to conquer market share is the foundation of jeff bezos. global strategy despite is risky plan. amazon's boss still maintains the competence of the financial markets. amazon stock value rises constantly. ah, in the last 4 years it has increased fivefold. ah, amazon lost about $3000000000.00 and it's for 6 years in business,

selling books at a loss. and it worked, you know, i mean, now amazon is the dominant book retailer with more than half the market. and they've consistently done that in one sector after another where they go in, they lose money. other companies that are not, don't have the same backing from wall street, aren't able to operate at a loss. they go out of business, amazon takes over, you know, and this is a company that's, that is, you know, able to lose money like that in a way that no one else is jeff fees o c. o. i mean, one of the things when you're analyzing a company is management's credibility. he spent time on wall street at a large hedge fund. i believe he sort of intuitively knew what institutional investors were looking for, knew how to educate them about time frames. i mean, as an analysts, it's not just about how much cash but you want to win that cash is expected to come in the door that helps you build better financial models. and so i believe he did

a good job and the speech language to our financial market participants. jeff bezos has been very astute at how he communicates what he's doing to wall street. and he always talks about this idea that amazon is for the long term that he is not focused on the short term. what he's building is something much bigger and it's over the long term. and wall street investors have have very much bought into that idea. and they have backed this company, even in the years when amazon lost a lot of money years when they made very little money. wall street continued to back this company. jeff bezos was successful in imposing his long term vision to an economy geared toward short term profits. having secured the confidence of wall street, he was able to make all of the world's commodities available in one click. this

ideal of accessibility was born 50 years ago and san francisco capital of the american counterculture gaffer google, apple, facebook and amazon are the unexpected errors to these california hippies. a quick like bad press your middle finger to you thumb, drag them apart, snapping like that. you can find adult pajamas with cat names or typewriters, fashion manual, you can add insulin syringes and wallets, greeting cards, even books or poor. you like that. you can have any delivered to your door, snap and forever to consider where you did. ah, in the 19th sixty's in california, thousands of young americans turned away from industrial society, the vietnam war,

and the atomic bomb they decided to return to the land and live in communities based on new principles. this was the birth of the commune, movement. they were anti big technology. they didn't like bombs, didn't like heavy industry. but they loved l. s. d. they love automobiles. they loved vw hands, they love the products, the kind of consumer products of industrial society. and what they wanted to do was take those consumer products and re purpose them, turn them into the foundations of a new kind of society. a society built on shared experiences, personal ambition, consumption, consumption for the, the communal lists was going to be the foundation of a consciousness oriented society. ah,

ours in l zante el salvador, big claim, ph. hyper bitcoin ization countries made big claim legal tender. it's one of the fastest growing countries of the world now, and things happen in a good way when you go all the way mid quarter and there is champs all down through here, calling this larry over here. so your camps are always a little nicer than this. this is evidence of absolute poverty, despair. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like this. we're at the original eden village that opened up in 2018 right now. there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with 31 homes and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness. and i'm sure we

have, i beg you with the president of gracious, said his punchy. we'll withdraw troops from nate. so in eastern europe, there's a conflict between russia and ukraine. they come to the west to run its military presence in the region over a led to plunge by moscow to invade its neighbor. the us to live is a 3rd batch of military 8 ukraine and is considering kristin. it's military presence on nato. the eastern frontier washington already has over 8000 troops on standby with a code to send more with .
