Jeff Bezos comes out in support of increased corporate taxes

So Jeff Bezos is trying to earn back some good will. Bezos/Amazon is horrible to employees, and now we have a distraction that makes him look good. Such nonsense should never be news.

In short: this is a stark example of a distracting puff piece that exists only to fool the public.

Glad that someone can still read between the lines.

Alternatively some see lobbying for increased taxes as a sign of bad will.

I wonder if he can have the same "redemption arc" that Gates have had. But I doubt it.

I already wrote it somewhere else but can you really compare Bezos and Gates? Microsoft wasn't really popular back then (many people here will have hated it) but Gates was never really unpopular as a person. His treatment of workers was also not a reason for his public image.
