There should be a cap on how much a single person can make; anything beyond that should be taxed. What a corrupt ass capitalistic shit-hole system.

We don’t need no water, let the motherfucker burn
Burn motherfucker, burn
They get rewarded for impoverishing us. They are barbarians in suits. Raiders and thieves, rapists and murderers, who destroy our lives to enrich their own. There is no innocent rich person.
How convinient
whilebecauseLate stage capitalism will end like the opening scene of the dark knight; the joker killing every one of his criminal accomplices, one by one, as soon as they have fulfilled their role (their value has been extracted).
It’s an apt analogy because all of these capitalists are mentally ill &/or criminals.
Any ideas on ways we can convince Amazon to pay its workers enough to survive?
No clue, I’m gonna go play Paper Mario tho, heard it was inspired by Luigis Mansion lol
There’s a brand new Amazon warehouse going in right of the Schoharie exit on I-88 in upstate NY. It’s been recently announced that the village will be footing the bill for all the water and sewage.
So after that gets burnt down we need to go round up the town board and beat the shit out of them
drop every Amazon service you use today and advocate for others to do the same
Make something to replace AWS
How about nationalize AWS
give me a few billion dollars to buy infrastructure and hire people who know how to do that. otherwise it’s going to take a while to get off the ground if I have to start off by selling books online (and I’ll still need at least half a million to start).
It’s not a few billions anymore. Undersea fiber, datacenters in several countries… It all adds up.
I don’t know, I have a thought and requires a lighter.
*Andy Jassy gets 30% pay bump financed with the wages of 30k laid off workers.
FTFY
PS: If it were legal, I’d advocate for someone firebombing his house, but it’s illegal so I strongly advocate against someone firebombing his house.
And why wasn’t it an Amazon warehouse that was torched I would expect them to have worse pay and conditions than the Canadian one?
amazon actually pays decent for its worker accumulates pto faster than WF chain they own now, but a warehouse job is really brutal in any job. very easy to get injured through repetition wear and tear, and you have metric and watched like a hawk by the managers there. i know someone that worked at the smaller ones.
the hours are brutal thats why theres high turnover.
To me that sounds like: Once you get used to getting your liver eaten it’s fine, the eagle is actually a good conversationalist.
Ontario California, not Canada.

Why would you firebomb his house? Businesses can hire and fire who they like so long as it’s within the regulations?
edit: just saw you’re french, nevermind
Lick those boots
The opposite, I don’t buy from Amazon, nor do I care what happens to them, I hope they go broke and they all lose their jobs
Will someone think of the CEOs? /s
You love sucking billionaire dick apparently. Fine, just don’t spit the cum on us.
Fix this:
- Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (Section 162(m)): By capping deductible salary at a million, it paradoxically incentivized companies to shift compensation toward stock options and performance-based bonuses to avoid tax penalties.
They also hired a new CFO for $28 million.
Well, being a member at Augusta isn’t cheap, Andy Jassy gotta pay those billionaire club dues somehow . . .
Base salary still only about $350,000, which is less than some employees make, I’m sure. Of course he has stock holdings etc, that give way more to his earnings. But still, strictly salary wise…
Maybe I’m missing something here.
The ultra wealthy keep their salaries low so they can avoid paying taxes. They also use this as a form of white washing their reputation that people who don’t understand how money works will buy.
There are actually special structures that aren’t even available to most people for ultra high earners called non qualified deferred compensation plans that help them avoid taxes even harder than most ordinary people can.
They do everything they can to pay as little in taxes as they can while they hoard up as much wealth as they can.
Amazon’s philosophy is that higher-ups get paid in mostly stock and their salaries are capped at pretty much what Andy’s salary is. Idea is that if you make ~300k in salary, but your stock can be worth anything from 40 to 500 million in 4 years when it vests, you’re probably motivated to work extra hard to make the company worth more.
Stock grants outweigh salaries by 3x in senior software dev roles already, the executives make roughly the same salary, but more stock.
The more I hear about billionnaires the more I think the anarchist & council communists were right.
Right, but from what “AI” told me (which to be fair could be total bullshit), he did have a large income of about $200M, but opted for a more stable salary of around the sum I mentioned, but still had about $40M of income via stocks I guess. But that’s still very much lower than what he earned just before he started as CEO.
Is there some way he’s still earning more now than before?
My base pay is half what I get paid. I get paid my other half in stocks. It’s how big tech works.
I guess so.
