Same thing happened to me! I'll be wiping my butt with $1000 bills in the parking lot.

The 1 per centers, you gotta love 'em. Well, at least Bezos doesn't seem as bad as some of the others. No angel, I'm sure.

But in climbing to the top he's crushed traditional retail jobs throughout America, and certainly furthered the income inequality problem. It also seems like he could help his workers out a bit, you know, those guys who slave away every day in his warehouses to make everything possible. Pretty sure he could give everyone an instant $1000 holiday bonus and it would barely dent his net worth while helping a lot of people out.

Amazon $1,000 Christmas bonuses from Jeff, with a credit to Calculating!

As long as he is hypothetically handing out money.

...instead of dialing it yourself?

When the internet became a thing, buying things on it also became a thing. Times change.

concern, plus they are crappy employers. As a SNAP and Medicaid caseworker, far too many of my clients come to me with Amazon as their last employer.

Pay an unlivable wage while raking in tens of billions per year.

Bezos and Gates combined. See article.

Keep it in the neighborhood. Buy local. Now that’s a concept. Old, but so dang effective. Fresh, hand made and you know the seller. Local.....yup, that’s the ticket.
