“His employees are on food stamps while he spews out social justice propaganda.”

If they’re not satisfied with their pay are they not free to go work elsewhere?

Yes. I have used Walmart online. The experience was not very different and no worse than Amazon.

Walmart is not bad but I usually find prices cheaper on ebay than amazon. I have no idea how ebay leans.

Order pickers are worked so hard they burn out in just a few weeks. He could double their pay and hire more workers and still woun’t miss a nickel.

We’ve used walmart.com. Both delivery to our house and pick up at the store.

Also acehardware.com, same.

Had no problems with either.

Were you a millionaire in Canadian dollars? I think that’s like a $1,000 Merica dollars.

Who woulda thought that his little used book venture would ever amount to much?

"For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

“It’s not impossible.. it’s a choice of convenience.”

I’ve found it is actually easy to avoid giving rich liberals my money when I’m broke. ;-)

But, yeah, I get what you’re saying. I’m kind of at a point where I could almost see myself aligning with a modern Amish-like movement. The Amish use technology and innovations, just outdated versions of them. Even though I’ve always been a big fan of technological innovations, I think I could be comfortable without much more progress in this area.

We definitely trade away our birthright for convenience these days.

Don’t get me wrong. I am not saying that he is a great guy or anything. I just enjoy making these kind of comparisons. He we have Donald Trump, who is arguably the richest President. (People talk about Washington and Kennedy, who knows?). To Bezos, Trump’s wealth is barely a rounding error.
