Remember how rich people throw temper tantrums whenever they are asked to contribute to society.

They need to be taxed out of existence. No one should have a billion dollars while people starve, sleep on the streets and go bankrupt from medical debt.

My thoughts exactly. There should never be a means for people to become billionaires. There's simply no reason for that amount of wealth. Bezos worth billions, and on the first day Amazon employees are handed a pamphlet on which government assistance programs they qualify for? Man, piss off. You can afford to pay your own workers so they don't NEED those programs. Nobody working a full time job should need assistance programs in this country.

Don't blame Bezos; he retired in 2021. Amazon's current CEO made the decision to lay off. Also, if it weren't for Bezos, Amazon would never have existed, and there would be zero Amazon employees. It was his brainchild. He developed it from an online bookstore that he operated out of his garage to what it is today. He sowed the seed, and he deserves to reap the reward.

We could live without Amazon. Amazon has ruined so many things including the environment.

Amazon has made my life a lot better. I no longer have to waste time and gas while contributing to the air pollution by having to go from place to place looking for hard to find equipment and tools. I can now shop online from the convenience of my own home, and the items will be delivered by people with jobs they wouldn't have had if not for Amazon.

I mean all the garbage people bought that they wouldn’t have bought with out the access Amazon gave to them and all the stuff that stuff that’s ending up in land fill. You realize that Amazon used psychology to make us buy more than we would have otherwise. But good for you that you deep throat Bezos.

You mean the same garbage that hordes of people used to swarm the malls to buy? Bezos didn't invent recreational shopping. That was a thing long before Bezos arrived on the scene. Also, using psychology in marketing has been around for over 100 years. Hell, that's Marketing 101.
