Industry costs magically cut while Bezos is almost the richest person on the planet. And Amazon is a behemoth doing incredibly well. Very competitive industry. Costs must be cut. Let's talk about the metrics. Employees live to work, if they are not working what's the point on their existence? /s To me all of this points to the need for unions to return. Without the threat of communism there is nothing to keep this class of people from abusing workers, just to show the world they are not just about money, and creating good working conditions and good jobs. To them it's like a game, like a simulation, an RTS, the people don't matter. Their lives don't matter. Only thing that matters is the bottom line. I personally prefer Bezos was a mere millionaire, his company wasn't doing that well, and that his workers had relatively good jobs. How about you?



Well actually most of Bezos's wealth is in Amazon stock. Which he has to sell to make money. Its really not your gold-bricks-in-basement-vault money. Most of which he won't be selling till he dies. And that will go into some trust which will be owned by his descendants as inheritance.

The real thing about communism or capitalism isn't much about the merit of the idea in itself.

The quality of the political system that implements these ideas, efficiency of execution matters.
