People can get almost anything they could possibly want delivered directly to them in a matter of hours with 1 click on a website.

It's not like he was born in a rich family or something , he worked hard which most of you people don't do and start complaining , he started Amazon from scratch in his garage . So if he wants to keep his money then he should he has every right to , he has earned it .

The economy is changing, and if you don't change with it, you'll pay the price. A majority of these people that are living out of their cars have poor financial planning abilities.

For Amazon to be On my one of the wealthiest companies in the world Bezos treats his employees horribly most work for $3.50 above the minimum wage and are expected to walk 15-20 miles a shift, with short breaks thur out the shift

[@bobbarker2814]

JahTha god No one is holding a gun to their head and forcing them to work at Amazon. If they don't like the working conditions they should find a different job or learn a skill or trade. You can learn to code literally for free online and make websites among other things. People complaining about their jobs are going to complain regardless. The workers at Amazon won't have to complain much longer though since automation will take over

[@alternatetdh3716]

It would be to his benefit. The more hunger is gone, the more people have time to start worrying about things like getting educating. And since the population gets more educated, the standard of living will increase and as a result, Amazon will be used more frequently in paces previously neglected, like in very poor parts of Southeast Asia and Africa. More sales from that as well as good PR on his part, driving sales further from already existing customers.

@Slightly Intriguing Do you really think the warehouse workers could have the vision or persistence to start the company 20 years ago with their own personal savings and working it up during the next 25 years to this state. 90 percent of businesses fail. He took a huge risk by quitting his 6 fig job at a finance company to start an online business in freaking 1994. No, I bet the 40 years old warehouse workers were trying to get a useless degree ( yeah, some degrees are useless and many people do take ownership of their future because they are irresponsible) while partying in frat parties. Read a little bit about entrepreneurs before actually commenting about them. God! People these days are so entitled. Do you expect him to hand in the operations of a billion dollar company which he built by his own sweat and tears to a buncha warehouse workers with zero management experience or the ambition to attain that experience. It those worker wanted a better job, they could have get it. They just wanted to live and average life. A life of sloth. I worked a full time min wage job (renovation) during the summer before my college. On the side, I got a Customer service management cert and now I mange a call center as my part time job. I did this while still preparing for my CS deg. I know you all had similar experiences. So don't give me "They don't have the time to improve their skills" reason. They had time when they were college students. Instead of working hard, they chose to f**k around (literally). Know they world wants to appreciate their efforts by f**king them back.

Wealthy people are so clueless about what to do with their wealth, it's like they dont even notice, their ego is not the possesion of wealth but they have a weird specific limitless hunger of just more, just more, until they cant go further, then what happens after that? They dont know how to live life they only know how to chase the "more". Time is short folks enjoy what you have and everyone is equal time wise so no one is richer than another, some young folks die from accidents, older people dont have an enjoyable quality as life as much, middle aged people are always working, the only one who is the winner is the one who uses everything he has for a purpose and preparation for what happens after life. Which will happen to everyone. Has death ever forgotten someone? No. Wealth hasn't either. Be greateful, a good attitude is worth more than worldly wealth.

Hes created hundreds of thousands of jobs regardless

[@samueljrichardson2499]

Don't play the victim card and complain about how you are getting paid so little. Instead use this as motivation. He even said himself. He's an inventor, an entrepreneur. I'm willing to bet you're neither of those. He took a major financial risk in investing in himself. You didn't.

[@DrinkUpJohny]

the point is he isn't "spreading wealth" creating jobs isn't "spreading wealth"

[@hornandezsmith4845]

Its not his company idiot he only owns 16% he doesnt have the power to make that decision

[@DrinkUpJohny]

If i had jeff bezos type money, i would fly explosives to the moon to create a crater shaped like a smiley face. The moon would be smiling at earth for eternity

[@austina4189]

I shall now begin calling him Father Jeff

[@quarkleptons1036]

Of course it's fine, money is not the most important priority for Bezos and by extension Amazon. It has always been the customer since day 1. Sure, you'll find people complaining about working at Amazon, performance improvement plans, managers using leadership principles as decoys but the company's standing today pretty much speaks for itself.

Richest man on earth can’t tie a decent tie

[@misterjules5073]

Did they forget to ask why if his company is headquartered in Seattle that it’s actually located in a tax haven shell island? Oh you mean the most obvious and interesting question about the most interesting con job in America didn’t come up?

[@eirho]
