James O'Brien bewildered as he Googles Jeff Bezos' wealth compared to Amazon workers

Amazon warehouse staged a protest yesterday in a dispute over a pay rise of 35p per hour.

James Googled the question of Jeff Bezos' fortune and found comparisons such as "an employee will have had to start working in the pliocene epoch to have as much money as Jeff Bezos has now". "If you're an average Amazon employee in America - I think you're on more than these people in Tilbury - to have as much money as the owner of Amazon has now, you'd have to have started work 4 and a half million years ago... Come on, call me a Marxist, call me a lefty-do-gooder!"

mrjamesob Does he send kids up chimneys?

mrjamesob I'm no socialist but I can't see what good this obscene wealth of a tiny clique does anybody. Instead of wasting it on space rockets and mega-yachts why not spend it on reducing CO2, growing sustainable crops and providing clean water across the globe for the benefit of all?

mrjamesob Okay, you are a Marxist, lefty do gooder, who does nothing but harm to the working classes.

mrjamesob Hopefully things would have evolved by then.

mrjamesob I have no problem with Bezos’ wealth as such. I do, however, have a problem with his attitude to his employees, which stinks. I have a big problem with that.

mrjamesob Am I mad for thinking the solution to all this inflation chaos is that companies pay their workers more and it comes OUT OF THEIR PROFITS, rather than the cost of their products / services?

mrjamesob Don’t worry James, Keir is going timake all of this work…

mrjamesob And they would have only been allowed about 5 bathroom breaks in that time.

mrjamesob The mill owners are back

mrjamesob Not sure what they are getting at here

mrjamesob Yeh I too am stunned that the founder and owner of one of the biggest companies in history is richer than anyone in history. Come on man, do you expect him to be on 100k a year?

mrjamesob And how much of his own money has in invested in setting up the company which employs ppl ? They don’t have to put their own money in do they 🙄

mrjamesob That's taking 'the early bird catches the worm' a bit far
