If 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.

Not exactly, his job as CEO of Amazon is to drive shareholder value.

You can complain about the system but its silly to call names at the people who play the system best.

According to the Business Roundtable[0], times have changed, and shareholder value is only part of the purpose of a corporation, and that investment in employees is a vital part of the ultimate value proposition.

Right, the Business Roundtable, led by venerable and respected institutions such as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Exxon, Chevron, General Dynamics, and--wait for it-- Amazon.

It's virtue signaling.
