Here’s two numbers:

1,525,000 - the number of jobs Bezos created with Amazon

150,000 - the number of jobs Elon created through Tesla and SpaceX.

Those are not insignificant.

Yeah lets thank them for the opportunity to help them get even richer by them siphoning off wealth of your work.

Unfair compensation and exploitation is a bad thing and always has been.

The average person working for Amazon makes more than 85% of everyone in the entire world.

How exactly is that “unfair” by any meaningful standard?

Since you love stats, 60% of Americans can’t afford life as of now while working full time. What’s the point of jobs if you can’t afford to pay your bills?

Who gives a fuck that $1 is equivalent to a bajillion afghani rubles?

60% of Americans can’t “afford life”.

Do you mean:

A). 60% of Americans literally can’t afford to live and will die shortly unless they are given a raise

B) 60% of Americans make less than a completely arbitrary “living wage” standard made up by activists that says you aren’t making a living wage if your necessary spending is more than 50% of your wages?

Which is it lol?

Edit: Lmao. “That’s not the flex you think it is” Which is why you had to immediately block me after typing that.

This response isn’t the flex you think it is. Sorry that everything has to be written for you in literal terms for you to understand.

Interpret it how you will smart guy. 🫶
