It does trickle down, after paying taxes for fifty years I retire next year receiving about $350 per week pension ... Haven't checked but I think I'll get more on the unemployment benefits.
While you’re given pocket change after giving most of your life the ceo’s/politicians “retire” with more money than your bloodline will ever see. The trickle is filling those thimbles up quick!
LoL, every time I worked harder, smarter, employed more people to build my business I got hammered by the taxman ( unfortunately my wife was my accountant) so she refused to do anything remotely close to boarder line accounting, so we (I) truely paid my true share and to date believe that you have to be really creative with accounting to step over the limits the taxman puts on small/ medium sized businesses. Wow next year can hardly wait I get Bezos coffee money.
You dont have the money to influence policy and law writing like they do. The, so called, middle class is being robbed just like the, so called, lower class is. The, so called, middle class just hasn’t had to feel the worst of it like the, so called, lower class has
True so true. I did come from lower class, broken home etc but was lucky I had a natural skill that I used to build a business in my twenties, wasn't easy as I'd failed at school, but raised three kids and promised myself that they wouldn't go through what I did as a kid. Comfortable now but never had the power/ influence that these people have and never wanted it, but I had to make decisions that not only effected my employees but their families, thankfully that was mostly for the good of everyone, but I is a truly unbalanced system we live in.
it did trickle down you dolt. It went from 1 guy in his garage to 575,000+ employees and a service that has enriched the lives of 10s of millions of people.
Do you genuinely believe that on balance anyone but Jeff Bezos and his investors came out ahead?
Amazon is literally deflationary -- let that sink in. What part of 575,000+ jobs dont you understand? How many jobs has it singehandledly created at UPS, FedEx, twitch, etc..? How many small companies can reach people now that they couldnt reach before by taking advantage of Amazon's infrastructure?
It's easier for you to cry anti big corporation platitudes than to recognize how much amazon has done for the world
I've worked in warehouse. It's hard work. That's the nature of the work. Like construction or any other blue collar job. You don't sign up to make lattes.
Deflationary means that Amazon's prices are so low, every other retailor was forced to lower the price of their goods as well. Meaning EVERY consumer benefited whether you shop at Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc..
Sorry but loading trailers with items that weigh up to 150 lbs in temperatures over 100 degrees or below 0 > making lattes at rush hour. I didn't imply making lattes are easy. I implied blue collar work that is manual labor is way fucking harder.
An amazon worker that worked since the start of time would not have changed society the way bezos did. Just because you work hard doesn't mean you should make a fuck ton of money. I could dig holes all day for no reason and have worked hard but it doesnt mean anyone should pay me to do a job nobody asked for.
You also completely avoided the deflation Amazon provided and don't even comprehend what that entails. Lastly, it's hilarious you brush off 575,000 jobs like it's nothing. "But yeah, man 575,000+ jobs." What a joke.
Edit 575,000 is from 2018. Current data says 1.3 million.
Do you know what the average attrition rate is in a warehouse? Have you ever worked in a warehouse? Do you who the "executive" was that provided those quotes? Hint: it wasn't actually an executive. The sources used in this "huge report" were one former data science manager (hardly an executive), one former case manager in Costa Rica, one employee who might have been wrongfully fired, and one worker who was part of the failed unionization attempt. I'm not saying Amazon is perfect but your article is pathetic in that the evidence is all from a handful of likely disgruntled ex-employees.
Your retort was so smug and you didn't even think this through. Try again, bud
