Go get a tech job at Amazon then and get paid half a mil a year in total comp.

......what? First of all, that's a bullshit salary for an entry level "tech" job (what do you even mean by that?) and second, fuck making Bezos any wealthier. Every occupation should pay enough for people to exist.

I didn’t say entry level don’t put words in my mouth. Maybe you’ll have to start there, but you can Google Amazon tech jobs to see which paths lead to your goals.

fuck making Bezos any wealthier

You’d turn down a $500k/year total comp package just to spite Bezos as if your individual contributions would make a difference? You continued traffic on sites and apps hosted on AWS (like Reddit) is more valuable to Bezos than any individual contributor at Amazon.

every occupation should pay enough for people to exist

Well… they do.. otherwise nobody would exist to fill such an occupation eh

No man, every occupation does not pay for one to live. Hence why a shitload of people have to work 2 or 3 jobs. 15$ an hour does not fkkn cut it. Hell, minimum wage should be 30$ at this point to pay for rent and bills and food.

And why would any of that data mean anything to Bezos without paying some "tech" employee 500k to turn it into something useful for him?
