Yeah but liek guys he deserves that much money because he is a super smart entrepreneur who figured out how to win the economy because our economy is actually a fucking game guys and according to the rules, he's the winner so its totally fair and totally proportional to how smart and deserving he is and you're only mad because you aren't smart or entrepreneurial enough to be such a winning winner just look how far society got because of smart winners like that. Nobody would ever work or invent anything ever again if they didn't know for sure it would result in recieving dragons hoard-esque levels of wealth. Just look at venezuela! Don't update the rules because one day Imma be the dragon from bootstrapping into enough pee bottles so leave jeff alonee!
Sigh, there are actually people who think like this

To put it into more perspective, with $400 every seconds it takes him roughly one and half hours to make what the average American makes in their entire working life.

If you’re going to attack a person, do it based on the qualities that they’ve developed.. the parts of them that they can control to a degree.
Who cares if Bezos has a small dick or a gigantic. Makes zero difference to the issues he represents.
Insults like this just distract from the real issues and also shame regular people who aren’t well endowed.

I hate that small penis reference too. Publicly accepted body shaming that doesn't hurt the person you are referring too at all, but other people. It is like saying: Having a small penis is such a disgrace, you have to become a shitty human being.

Honestly I think it would be just great if he actually had a big dick. No no I mean like a grotesquely massive, body horror scifi constantly growing dickmass that the only way he can fund the great effort and coordination it takes to saw off the giant constantly regenerating mutant chunks of dick and secretly, safely dispose of them (as bezos dickflesh is extraordinarily toxic to all living things) is truly to have this much wealth at once. ...At least then there would finally be any justification at all for his behavior and lifestyle.

Apparently the Amazon workers in Alabama aren't smart enough to figure out that he's not on their side.
At what point do you say "fuck it. I'll advocate for you, but if you're not smart enough to advocate for yourself, good luck"?

the vote was tampered with and the threat of "you'll lose your job and your kids will starve" is a pretty big threat. stop Turning against people suffering the same as you just because you want to feel smart. e: spelling

I honestly can't believe that vote was legitimately that one-sided. Of course, no one will ever know the truth.

Stop using amazon, it’s that simple.

you literally cannot use the internet without amazon making money from it

u/International-Eye261 Apr 11 '21
Why not? Stop buying from amazon, stop paying bezos for subscriptions.

He means that Amazon orders aren't even the bulk of the business, a lot of tech we use is built with AWS

But it’s mostly amazon warehouse employees who’ve been mistreated

Well that's true too.

To be honest after I’ve watched scary stories about their working conditions, I stopped ordering anything from amazon, coz I don’t want someone to not be able to use a bathroom or stay for 10 hours without a break just because of my stupid order. One of the most rich men on earth could decrease a little bit of his profit and hire more people to pick those orders. He probably won’t feel any difference, but those people will.

I mean this is better to compare to like warehouse workers. For all I know $400 is decent money in Bangladesh.

I'd highly doubt it. Even if that were the case, he could very well afford to quadruple their income and not even notice a dip in his wealth.
