      There is a reason his wealth has skyrocketed by billions and billions of dollars over the past decade. He doesn’t pay his workers fair wages. Being a billionaire is unethical… billionaires are the single biggest threat to humanity at the moment.

        Or perhaps it’s ALL the lazy morons using his shitty marketplace to get toilet paper delivered…bet workers themselves buy shit off Amazon.

          I don’t know, I think it’s a little shitty to call everyone using Amazon lazy morons when it’s often the only viable option for affordable things. Especially if you’re like a parent working at an Amazon warehouse and you have another job and you simply don’t have the time or energy to shop/drive around to get that one particular formula your kid doesn’t get sick off.

          Obviously there’s an argument to be made about an average American’s mindless consumption and addiction to convenience, but we don’t have to call people working paycheck to paycheck lazy morons. They’re not the problem here.

            If you can afford Amazon toilet paper and shipping, you most certainly aren’t paycheck to paycheck like people who have to feed via Dollar stores frozen garbage - you’re putting yourself into your own predicament.

            Having a kid when you can barely afford yourself is another, absolutely moronic hobby to pick up.

      If you don’t think $840 could change someone’s life. Especially in this economy.

      Obviously you’ve never been paycheck to paycheck

      That would be fantastic for 600,000 workers, an entire week without worrying about rent.

      So… what’s the downside? I don’t see one.
