If you have a Amazon Firestick for streaming, YouTube is no longer an available application. You must access it through Firefox or Amazon Silk. (I downloaded the Firefox App and no problem accessing YouTube. I tried downloading Amazon Silk, but it took too long and it had all kinds of requirements and restrictions. So I just deleted the download without installing it.) www.theverge.com/2017/12/28/16826044/youtube-fire-tv-deactivated-google-amazon-early |

It is only a one time $40 charge. |

You dont have to pay for anything in hotels again. U use your accounts on the wifi and enjoy all the streaming you want. You can use a motion remote or a wireless mouse to control a cursor. You can play games on it too. You can get one under 70 bucks/ sometimes you can find them for as low as 40. They are great. Some of them come with Kodi- ( which is a free player) where you can download plugins and watch every single movie or tv show ever made - 100% free. |

Why do you refuse to give money to Amazon? Tax avoidance practices. Basically, taking public services from the tax payer and not paying for them, aka theft. |

I don't see how Amazon is any different. Most people in the US avoid taxes within the US in acceptable manners, and it is among yourselves. Amazon are different because (i) they use various dishonesties to avoid paying taxes and (ii) its in another territory, i.e. stealing from other people. If you guys want to avoid taxes among yourselves by normal means, fine, but when you come to my country and use dishonest means to steal from me, I have an issue. For example, Amazon have despatch centres in the UK and a store labelled '.co.uk'. However, they use a loophole to claim that the sale was made in Ireland (because the billing entity is an Irish company) so they owe no UK tax. That, to me, is dishonest and they can go to hell. If I opened a physical store here and put an Irish company on the till receipt, no-one would listen to my claims that I owe no UK tax. It's clear that the tax is owed but, due to an immoral loophole, they are happy to consume UK public services and not pay for them. That makes them socialist scum. |
