That deal with whole foods was a joke. Amazon straight up bent over whole foods and its employees. Was a good company to work for. From what I was told. But I seen that deal going bad real fast for the employees.

[@chud8you629]

It was a good company to work for but thanks to capitalism the bigger more powerful company see’s and opportunity to make more money buys it out then screws the employees. That’s bullshit they took benefits away from part time employees. Amazon can afford to give benefits to all part time employees. They’re just greedy and only care about more profit so they screw the employees.

@Jeff Gyro Well I looked up your numbers and they are stated wrong. revenue was 386 billion. (Profit Margin 84%) is more than the 326 Billion number. - But I did see A 2020 Federal tax of 1.8 billion on 20 Billion US pre-tax income. (9.4% Tax Rate) Average US household tax rate is 14% by the way. Amazon tax rate for last 10 years combined is 4.7% on Pre-tax USA income of 55 billion. (Total 10 year revenue of over 1.5 Trillion Dollars). Corporate Tax Rate was 35% for all but last 3 years Trump lowered it to 21% Amazon has paid only a fraction of that in Federal Taxes.

[@ghostog4243]

@Jeff Gyro What are you saying about Jeff Bezos being paying 2 billion? For 2020 his income is reported to be 1.8 million. His net worth grew by 63 billion. And by the way I don't care! All I'm saying is he and his company can each afford to pay their fair share of taxes! Now YOU know!

The Young Turks don't understand that Bezos wealth is based on the stock price which is valued at several times the annual earnings of the company. In the case of Amazon as of 05/13/2021 the stock is valued at a total of around, give or take, $1.5. Meanwhile Amazon in 2020 made a profit of $21.33 billion Profit is what is left over after the expenses. Think about this, AMZN stock is valued at $1.5 trillion on a profit of just $21.33 billion. It would take Amazon, at current earnings levels 70 years and 4 months to earn what their stock is valued at. But people believe it will still continue to grow and the stock along with it so it is valued and has put Bezos on paper wealth extremely ridiculously ludicrously high.

Then we sailed across the Mediterranean Sea to Monaco for 3 days of liberty. It was winter and many billionaires had 300 foot yachts there for "winter". It was as if Tunisia and any other poverty stricken place did not exist. There was so much money there and a general aloofness that it was hard not to get resentful.

I was an employee for Amazon and the best thing was when I left because I know I wouldn’t hear them say that I someone with medical disabilities told by Amazon HR I don’t qualify as having disabilities if I work at Amazon and if I don’t like it there’s the door

That is correct though. If an employee doesn't like it, they must hit the door.

I have worked on yachts. Specifically the one owned by the owner of The Villages in FL. It was tiny compared, only 100' but at least it was a classic looking vessel. You think 500M is a lot. You've zero idea how much this yacht will cost to keep, let alone run! The 500m will be a drop in the bucket. Tax him 70%

[@ghostog4243]

Right yachts are super costly - That one will cost a minimum 60 to 80 million a year to maintain and operate. Is that about right?

[@JerryGarciaPOBox]

@@ghostog4243 at least. My guess is well over 100m. I'm sure it's registered in the Cayman Islands or similar for tax purposes but even leaving that ugly excuse for a vessel tied to the dock w/minimal crew will be 10's of thousands a week. Maybe daily. Curious how the crew will be paid. Always seemed the fancier the yacht the lower the pay. They make you believe that you are special if allowed to work on the vessel. Was given an offer on one of the biggest & most famous, at the time, yacht, ended up with a lesser position on a vessel 1/2 it's size for double the money. Left and worked with real people on offshore commercial fishing vessels after a couple years of the type of people who own these things. 🤙🏽
