By that logic amazon had e significantly lower profit margins then google, apple, Microsoft, Facebook, etc. I dont think it's fair to compare it to those companies. But then again you do seem to move the goalposts to suit your argument.

It’s not moving the goalposts. It actually proves my point. You cleave off AWS and you’re looking at a company that underpays vs more pure play tech companies (FAANG).

The resulting retail business can’t even compete on profitability without the tech side of the biz helping cover it. So it can’t even afford the pay you were saying was so competitive without workers getting screwed elsewhere. Yet Amazon was able to bury other retailers not named Walmart and Target despite not having a profitable business.

So no matter how you cut it, someone is getting fukked over. White or blue collar, take your pick.

Crazy how folks in here are caping for bezos and right wing capitalism

I prefer to follow in the footsteps of Fred Hampton

Seize 100 billion of that net worth and redistribute it to the poor and rebuilding the slums of America. Americans are so brainwashed they think unchecked and unfettered capitalism is a good thing. Wait until they learn about modern day predatory sharecropping in the trucking industry, or how foreign billionaires literally own entire high rises in countries they don’t reside in. Taking away opportunities from those people in their own country. Oh wait that’s fine! Cuz it’s capitalism right, oh it’s a beautiful thing

And they call unregulated capitalism as "masculine" and "real thorough" :hhh:

The whole economy is a scheme and a scam.... Somebody will figure out how to monopolize and there will be those getting taken advantage of. Some will choose not to participate and find an alternative way.

That shyt is disgusting. I believe there should be a cap or like 10 billion and anything over that just goes back into the system. That would stop a lot of unnecessary greed and improve the world.

you just be out of your mind. If they have a”cap” for rich folks then they gonna definitely put a cap on us normal people especially black folks. Also, if you were in his situation you would be pissed the fukk off if some broke ass wanted you to have a limit on how much wealth you make.

Most of these folks wealth is in stock. The stock wasn’t always worth the amount that is driving his wealth up. How would you cap that, you can’t cap the stock price, you just gonna take his shares away? If the stock drops are you gonna give them back?

Welp
