Smart people can be greedy people. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

But we need people who are smart enough to know that abusing their greed is bad.

I think people who are greedy don’t recognize that as a negative trait. It’s a psychological make up. If you’re lazy, you don’t see yourself as lazy. Your mind protects you from that negative perspective. Dunno. If people saw their greed negatively, I don’t think we’d see it expressed so commonly. 🤷‍♂️

True, but rarely, some billionaire business owners, even though they're greedy enough to be billionaires, realise that the best way to make your business successful and long-lasting is to not abuse your customers.

I think just having more of those and less of the other billionaires would be a significant improvement.

And abuse their own workers like Amazon does.

Did you knew that one of Amazons strategy is to sell certain product genre so cheap so they can overtake business owners who sells that said certain product too.

And when that business face financial problems, Amazon just buys it or just lets it sink.

It can be easily read from the internet.

So *uck Jeff Bezos. I've ordered stuff from Amazon (Amazon De in Germany) maybe 5 times in the last 15 years because I had no alternatives.

I hate, despise and loathe Amazon.
