This is what people who have never built anything like to say.
Bezos as an example built a great service. An exchange of value between willing customers and what he created happens repeatedly. Therefore he earned the billions. Thats how it works. The more value you create for the most people makes you more money. And I cant think of a more fair system.
- brokenmachine 3y agoHe didn't build all that by himself, and there's (hundreds of) thousands of workers doing the actual physical work for him. Those Amazon servers don't magically teleport the packages to the customers. All because he's lobbied, and continues to lobby, to not pay enough taxes. The tax system is unbelievably unfair.
- marcus_holmes 3y agoIt's not fair because some people inherit enough money to never have to work. If you actually wanted a fair system then we would all spend our childhoods in a boarding school with no contact with our parents, and no inheritance. But that's not feasible, so we're stuck with this unfair system. But let's not pretend it's fair. Those who "create value" often don't. The continuing enshittification of everything is removing value from customers, yet the CEOs who are forcing it on their customers are getting paid vast salaries. We all know that they're destroying value and that their organisations will eventually be replaced by ones that actually value customers, but they continue to be rewarded. You have a very naive view of capitalism.
