Jeff Bezos, for once in his life, gives away a money and all anyone has to say is that he's a monster for not doing something else. He doesn't have to. It's a free country and he follows the laws.
I work most days inside Amazon Fulfillment Centers. No one is forced to be there and most are happy they have the jobs they do because every other company out there treats them as bad or worse. If they don't want to be there, they can quit at any time. The problem isn't Amazon, it's a society that doesn't give a shit about the lower class and won't pass any laws to help them. Not if it would mean higher prices. Not if it's the demonized 'socialism'.
Complaining about Bezos feels great, but it doesn't do anything. Lobby your congressman and senator for law changes that force all companies to treat their lowest-paid employees better. Tell them to support Sander's "stop Bezos act" too if you like- I think it's a great idea.
Fight the root of the problems, not the symptoms. And don't complain when someone actually tries to do good for once.
And of course, bias note: I work for Amazon but I don't speak for the company in any capacity. These opinions are my own.
