And how many have become more poor? I do not give a flying fuck about how many 5 percenter have made even more money. You either lift society as a whole or you let small part prosper at the expense of the rest.
Some time ago conditions in the US / Canada were that many small people got the opportunity (The American Dream or whatever the fuck it is called).
Now that window of opportunity keep shrinking.
So no, fuck you James
- JuniperMesos 7mo agoBasically no one has been made poorer by the existence of Amazon, a company that mainly sells cheap consumer goods (or cloud compute) to the masses. The small number of people who have been made poorer by the existence of Amazon are people in the upper 5% or so of American wealth who owned a consumer-facing business that got out-competed by Amazon, and by definition that means that a much larger number of generally-poorer people benefitted because Amazon fulfilled their wants and needs better than the other business did.
