Perhaps some of that $50 billion valuation can be used to pay their workforce a proper wage and give them benefits? Just a thought...

- Anderkent 9y agoValuation is not revenue nor any other form of money. They don't actually have $50 billion. At best you could claim the markets expect the future worth of the company be on average around $50 billion (modulo preferential stock impact, so actually a bit less).
- platz 9y agoSo, basically Amazon is a form of Charity then; they basically have "no form of money" under that perspective. (Dispite knowing the fact they could turn on the money spigot at any time if so desired)
- Anderkent 9y agoAmazon is a publicly traded company, so their valuation isn't really impacted by preferential stock. Also, if you think amazon has access to 1.6 trillion dollars, you're crazy. And, well, they actually make money.
