Amazon != Bezos, and Amazon's got obligations to its shareholders.

Bezos did put in the hard work and got results, so he can be smug.

People who will never amount to anything will of course claim it was just luck.

> Amazon != Bezos, and Amazon's got obligations to its shareholders.

That's a distinction without a difference. Bezos was the CEO and largest shareholder. The shareholders weren't going to fire him if he'd chosen not to have Amazon pursue "anticompetitive and shady behaviors."

By pushing down the people who will never amount to anything Jeff Bezos is not using luck to get ahead he is using power he obtained through prior luck.

Amazon is still Bezos. Ownership and leadership wise just not day to day.
