this is ours, it's i, as, as i drove professional, if he's with the whole wouldn't look what it is. and if i said that with, with no flow minimum own, if you all know which way to be merciless killing machines, 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 down to about dead contractors in and

out with this guy. he's drunk. you know, come out here and back underneath, right. just to put a space ship deal out here. i gotta be drinking some kind of bad whiskey or so it's 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 with for 10 miles charlotteville highway. $62.00 or lady is 45 miles and they own so. oh no they don't work any

a the versus the anthro she but she have to have the key nor to give you minus 1987. just like an average ordinary guy until you talk to him. and then you realize this guy's go, won't always play the no shortage for one day number one is amazon founder and ceo. jeff beta is the 1st 20000000000 the

people. it's either 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 have is you're still large enough to satisfy the ambitions of jeff bezos.

amazon is the largest store in 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. 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?

hey, our story begins in 1994 in seattle suburb jeff bezos, a 30 something wall street expatriate creates amazon in its 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 growed with

me. 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, his cellphone was out in a suburb that really was very far from the city and clubs and any kind of obscene that might be happening. there were basically 2 programmers working hard riding code. and jeff, working hard on, on the sort of business he side 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? what are we going to take off today?

oh my god, if that isn't done, isn't done today. things fall apart. it was more just a case of methodically working as quickly as, as we could buy books arrived. somebody was gonna have to pack them up and shut them out. and so, so until 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. sometimes it will be white . mckenzie, sometimes it would even be shallow, right? if there weren't that many, and we was super tied off in something. this is at a time where, you know, we 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.

i guess amazon success kotch 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 in 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've 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. lou. stacey mitchell investigates and amazon strategy of conquests. there's 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. here really, his amazon at 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 g. m 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 in quiet like a duck, it's a duck. so amazon looks like monopoly. trade 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 with bring you the very latest every out the day this is all now snow from everyone here with with james all down there here, holiday larry over here. so you're camps are always a little nicer than this is evidence of absolute poverty, despair. people in our city and other cities all across america are living like

this, where at the original need and village that opened up in 2018 right now. there's 31 homes on the property. it's a little over 4 acres with $31.00 homes. and a community center. unfortunately, a lot of people don't make it out of edition more homelessness and i'm just really happy. it made it bad you with amazon is conquering one territory after another. after the u. s. just basic 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. 7 ah, in 2013 amazon arrived in india with the intention of gaining control of a market estimated at $100000000000.00 conquer or fault. what amazon 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 with 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 enlarged federal feet. and another one with india is the fastest growing economy in the world with a 7 percent growth in 2017. although was wanting 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 card, the leader of the indian market, founded by 2 x amazon employees and paid him a new startup finance 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 tree, our players are armed till the top. oh, they have a lot of finishing, 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 multinational 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. really that like wrote up, let me go with them. and then that yet, some of them that i've been going on with the, with sitting at this table and 15 angry men,

the largest group of merchants and old billy each own several shops in the neighbourhood. they are the 1st to feel the impact of amazon's presence with a b. i do a, i just live with 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 in india since 2014 it's leader, prime minister, nor end remedy promotes an exacerbated form of nationalism and defends a protectionist 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 all. it's a significant stick for amazon and for, for the kind of investments which amazon has been doing and in market his reflection of the point at how seriously the peak this market. and if it fails all to reflect back in a global be all for amazon. it's, it's not a regional story, it's a, it's a global story for a ah,

to counter the americans, the merchantable. deli, have a plan to ensure the government doesn't forget them. a pleasure for the 5 years or 10 years down the line. you go down deep pockets and they can afford to have a big loss is that is right, they are coming through. and here you can see any example in there was, there was a event in the questions that they could at your little one market again, then you did that one. hopefully guy. that is, why did you, ah,

oh, this bus will go round the country to alert other merchants and the population at large of the threat that looms over india or even guardia, with in 2018, amazon announced its intention to invest yet again another $2000000000.00 in the country. it's operations in india have so far resulted in a net loss of $883000000.00.

investing massive amounts of money often at wash in order to conquer market share is the foundation of jeff bezos. global strategy. despite does risky plan, amazon's boss still maintains the confidence of the financial markets. amazon stock value rises constantly in the last 4 years, it is increased fivefold. amazon lost about $3000000000.00 in its 1st 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 this amazon takes over. i, you know, this is a company that's, that is that you're able to lose money like that in a way that no one else is. yep, he's our ceo. i mean, one of the things when you're analyzing a company's management's credibility, he spent time on wall street at a large hedge fund. also, i believe he sorta intuitively knew what institutional investors were looking for, new had to educate them about timeframes. i mean, as an analysts, it's not just about how much cash, what 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 being able to speak the 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 towards short term profits. having secured the confidence of wall street, he was able to make all the worlds 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 clicking line like that and press your middle finger to your thumb. drag no part snapping like that. you can find adults pajamas with cat names or typewriters, fashion manual, you can add insulin syringes in 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,

they'd 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, ah, ah, nose incidents of havana syndrome, as you mentioned before, things like difficulty concentrated insomnia memory problems. they're so big asked to be experienced by just about everyone who has ever lived in any given week

bright. and so now people all over the world who are military personnel, or intelligence officers or diplomats working for the american government, are now on the lookout for these anomalous health incidence. and literally people are getting up in the morning and sneezing and attributing it to a syndrome me because it's so back to what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy confrontation, let it be in arms. race is on often very dramatic. development only personally and getting to resist. i don't see how that strategy will be successful, very critical of time. time to sit down and talk

with ah, in a story the shapes the week you crane dominates both the headlines and the lines of nato states with lethal arms ammunition military equipment handed over to kiev, while the u. s. and u. k. prepared to send troops to eastern europe with nozzle. nato members agree to weaponized ukraine. germany is slammed by allies, but going against the blocks line, while some spanish opposition party say it's not bad countries war to wage. spain has no police the least conflict. we are not interested in any worse all this is a pro cation of.
