- givinguflac 7y agoSeriously. Jeff bozo is a greedy monster.
- benologist 7y agoIf he spent a morning conspiring to profit at his employees' expense then he earned more while dreaming of their demise than he actually saved by clawing back their healthcare. AWS alone nets something like a million in profit an hour. This is why we should stop using AWS. AWS is disproportionately enabling this horrible person.
