Sounds noble but if google are at the helm then that's the opposite of what I want. I'm not Amazons biggest fan but Google are the last people on earth I'd want to have my purchase history. Yeah they look all corporate good with their no commission / seller first attitude but it's just another data harvesting excersize & I'd rather not buy at all than buy through Google for 'free'.

My guess is that Amazon will start banning vendors that also sell on Google.
This would almost certainly be illegal (antitrust violation) and probably wouldn't be worth the firestorm even if it was legal.

Nintendo's CEO's last name is Bowser. Our AG is named "Barr" (Pun on a Bar association) Is there a cool collection of these somewhere? These are the only evidence I feel that we're in a simulation and the engineer is fucking with us.
The DHS secretary spokesperson with the entire Portland brouhaha is named Chad Wolf. If that wasn't a meme name I don't know what is.
This doesn't seem to solve the main problem I have with Amazon: even when I know exactly what I want, it's impossible to find. Amazon hides the thing you want behind the items they want you to buy instead, and they allow fakes and spammers to flourish. They never have the right aspects in their search filters, either. Looks like Google is the same way. I can't find an A19 LED light bulb with 2700K color temperature a…
I'd like them to add country of origin to the facets, but that would allow me to eliminate 90% of Amazon so they never will...

I believe there was a man named Armond Hammer who was the CEO of the company that owns Arm&Hammer (the baking soda company) at one point.
I notice that in my home state, the head of more than one auto dealership had the same last name as the brand of car sold by the dealership, for reasons that were coincidences. I wonder if there is some kind of unconscious social bias at work in these cases?

Almost everyone sells your purchase history to everyone, including to Google.
Is Google's head of payment systems really called "Bill Ready"?

No, I don't. How long ago was that? I hear that credit unions don't charge for other credit unions ATMs.
In the 1980s or so, when they first appeared (I'm old). They were free for quite a while. Folks figured that it was like your local heroin dealer: first one's free. We knew that it would just be a matter of time before ATM fees started showing up. At first, they weren't bad, but now, it can cost you five bucks to pull out a sawbuck.
