> Create a fabulously successful business that puts 350,000 jobs on offer (that didn't exist before Amazon was built), and you're likened to a thief? No, and if you'd read more closely you'd have realized I didn't do that. I merely used a analogy involving a thief that clearly illustrates one characteristic that's relevant here. Analogies don't map one-to-one onto a topic. You really should have gotten it, too, since I didn't just stop at the analogy. I went to apply the concept it was meant to illustrate directly to the situation. Furthermore, the fact that Amazon is a "job creator" doesn't hold it, its labor practices, or the jobs it creates above criticism.
