Jeff Bezos becomes the richest person in modern history

[JamesSWD]

At these levels of wealth, it's like rating Ferraris & Lambos on their top speeds that are within a few MPH of each other.

Interesting...I guess someone pulled these people off the street, at the end of the barrel of a gun, and stand over them with the same gun FORCING them to work for Amazon? If the conditions are that bad, QUIT and go to work for someone else. No, they stay. Why, the pay is probably better than they could get anywhere else, plus I'll bet they get some sort of benefits package, stock, or something that makes it worth the "pain and suffering". Plus, most of these "terrible working conditions" are just another attempt to UNIONIZE the work force. Do that, and a few things happen. 1. The workers get more money. 2. Their productivity will GO DOWN.
Again, unless someone his holding a gun to their heads, there is NOTHING keeping these people from just walking out, if it's that bad. If enough of them were to quit, either the pay would have to go up, to attract people to work there, and or the conditions would change.
THAT is how it is suppose to work!

What
Company restructuring - Outsourcing to maximize profits\gain upper hand - Threat of outsourcing - Bad Government trade deals and de-regulation - Government attack on labor(behest of donors) - ECT. Are the reasons everyone has to deal with this bullshit: Good paying jobs gone - Some replaced with lower paying with increased workload - where are they going to go?

These people own corporations that are making record profits year after year; Have the highest paid ceo's in the world; get tax breaks;tax cuts and use loopholes to get out of paying any - They can afford to pay their employee's a better wage and provide good work environments.

Its been proven that more pay increases productivity- Employee's are happier - Better working conditions - Less turnover - Better for communities ECT. If you find multiple reports that states the opposite without cherry picking or leaving out relevant information let me know.

A few bad unions you've heard about don't make them all bad. Its the only format other than worker cooperatives that has consistently increased peoples pay and provided better working conditions.

He's just a rich man among Commoners. He can't get anywhere near the Rockefeller, Rothschild and other unknowns who own even the money in Bezos' pocket.
