    I think evil is too strong a word for Amazon, I think benzos is one of the nicer billionaires but I have heard the horror stories from Amazon warehouses.

        If you are going to hate someone at least hate them for a good reason. I’m not saying he is an angel or anything, just that he is nice and has less shitty views than many of the billionaires now.

          He isn’t nice! He wants to replace all staff with robots, set targets so high that people have to piss in bottles and pays minimum wage which helps him get so rich.

          A nice person would have stopped longer before getting this large. He’s a monster. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but he contributes to a monstrous system.

            I don’t believe that he would make people piss in bottles. I think that was probably a hit piece or something. Also replacing laborers with robots is good although capitalism and pseudo feudalism isn’t going to survive it but that’s also a good thing.

              A hit piece? It’s been covered by numerous independent journalists and there is even video evidence of the crazy targets. And I know people that work for them.

              I’m sorry that you have Stockholm syndrome bro, but let’s face it, you’re never going to be one of them so stop defending them.

              Amazon has been known to lower prices to drive away competition and then raise prices. They’ve been shown to stock products and if that product does well they’ll make their own cheap version, undercut the original seller and when they can’t compete and the competition is gone they’ll increase the prices. They’re a predatory business at best and evil at worst. I’m happy to say I’ve not given Amazon a penny in about a decade. That’s before we even cover how they destroyed bookstores, and the shit show that is AWS.

                Hmm maybe idk, I still think they are probably one of the better American companies but that’s not really saying much.
