Bezos is a friend of Castro dictators .

Yet the very simple solution is to cancel your amazon account. Thats all you need to do. I ve never had one n i live just fine. Half the ppl outraged are actually enabling this. So fkin stupid

Angry 😡 thumbs down on Jeff Bezos. Plus who cares that he is the world’s first trillionaire .Instead he should be taking care about his employees during this COVID-19 pandemic and helping the World during this health crisis with all that money he has DAM !!

Am I jealous? Sure. Am I angry? Nope. He came up with an idea that was worth a fortune and managed to execute it. Nothing stopping anyone else from coming up with the next big idea.

Support Local Business.

Según el TV cubana oficialista el Amazon vende el carbón vegetal cubano (!) con otra fachada: otro nombre. Pero es el mismo carbón cubano. Donde esta el embargo? Don’t understand, sorry.

So... what do you want to do? Put high taxes on the man to compensate his workers? I could get behind that. You need to stop with the sour grapes however. The man made a very successful business, of course he is going to become uber-wealthy.

Yeah and they say you don't wanna work there hacksawjeff

When money just came raining into his coffer, what can he not do. He hasn't done anything wrong. It's just a business happen to be in the right place at the right time.

So everyone is getting angry at a guy that started his own business and made it work Yet you still shop at Walmart and support a family that’s ruining a business that a good man started?

Picked a business whose offering has matched current needs. Dont hate vision.

He is a good businessman and smart, people need to get the hell over it

Angry 😡Thumbs Down on Jeff Bezos. Who cares he become the world first trillionaire 🤮. Dam he should had been helping more with his employees during this hard times during the Coronavirus pandemic and around the World 🌎 . I Call him Mr Scrooge !!

Then don’t use amazon simple as that

Who cares about this Dam News 🤮. Instead we wanted to hear about this man giving out his money💰and helping his employees and around the world 🌎 by this deathly Coronavirus Pandemic 🇺🇸 . So anger thumbs goes down on HIM 👎🏼📢

At ten percent of trillion he is so far away at very best and that stock net worth not actual value in bank account

Yes his wealth while so many are struggling is hard to take but this man came up with an idea and made it happen so I can’t fault him for being rich during Pandemic. I don’t know if he has donated to help others but that would be helpful.

Tough shit

Who cares, then stop shopping there, stop working there. Economy fails when people stop participating. Society loves to vilify while clicking the “buy button”

Who cares about this is Big News🤮. Instead the News we wanted to hear that this man is giving out some of his big 💰Money and use it for Good and Helping the Word by this Coronavirus pandemic . So thumbs down on this MAN 😡📢

If you are unhappy with how much money he is making, shop elsewhere and don't support his business. Or better yet, start your own.

I love the choices and the convenience using Amazon. he created it, he deserves the money

The truth. He would be your second trillionaire. Don't get mad, learn how to bind. What you bind on earth, will be bound in Heaven. The man may have bonded it in Jesus name at some point in his life. And what you bind He will provide for you here. Be careful what u ask for.

Yep things like this keep Democrat far left extremists going. Be smarter than this!

Give us back our money! 💘😷🇺🇸

Congratulations to him.

And as Amazon takes away the 'hero bonus' 2.00 an hour pay this month because...all clear now.

And he is going to take it with him.

Fuck that. Good for him. He kept his idea. He busted his ass. Side note. He should pay his people appropriately and give them sick time.

Haters are going to hate.

The person who invents a pill that makes your penis bigger will be the world’s first trillionaire. Bigger=longer and thicker, example: a man with a 3” penis takes the pill and it becomes a 7” penis overnight, and it’s permanent. *Not an erection pill.

Weird rich dude

What it should spark is people getting off their ass and voting. I agree the man can pay his employees more. But us allowing our elected officials to not pass equitable tax laws is our fault. Go be rich. Be successful. Just demand he pay taxes. Bezos doesn’t need tax incentives.

Just bc Bezos will soon or actually a TRILLIONARE really irks poor trump. Who must probably is worth A few million. If not for the DONORS giving to his Fav charity-HIMSELF his family wouldn't survive. SAD. GO BEZOS. Slip me a few bills. Lol

Let's get it over with, declare him the winner and then we can crush capitalism

Americas 1 economic slave owner! This is how they look in 2020! His slaves get no health care! No O.T! And under paid! Over worked! And then govt gets paid behind closed doors so he pays no taxes! Slavery never ended only the tactics!

We need to have a good ole French revolution here. Eat the rich! Only have to do it to a few of the richest people and the others will fall in line

Anger on Twitter? Lol

I supposed he should stop making money cause everyone else is struggling.

So don't order from Amazon and you will be fine.

It’s called capitalism. Amazon made it easier for lockdowns.

Meanwhile workers are going on strike because of unsafe work conditions…

Could you please save the post office until President Biden fixes the chaos Trump has created? I’m sure our new president will repay you.

Bankers like Rothschild did nothing but destroy humanity.

Jeff Bezos dint know Amazon would explode as a company when he started up. Don't knock him. He was in the right place at the right time with the right idea.

If people dont like it. Stop ordering from amazon you fools.

Lex Luthor😞

Interesting Read. Sometime fiction becomes reality.

I love Amazon. Jeff invested in a market that is happening to do well in this environment. Not sure why people having issues with that.

what makes me unhappy is the thought of front line workers in warehouses not getting the hazard pay they deserve and consumers can make sure this happens by boycotting amazon because no one can become a trillionaire without customers

I honestly feel like I should get cash back on each purchase at this point.

I've never ordered anything from Amazon.

boycottamazon

The US Post office needs to charge him up the ass anytime they make a delivery for him. They also should collect past fee's. Disgusting.

Dear JeffBezos I am humbly requesting/pleading that you initiate: 1. Raises for your emps; 2. Some sort of Covid-19 assistance for every unemployed citizen in the USA & its territories. Yes, via a tweet, but, please. Your success and this situ is unique. Thanks for considering.

It is people like Bezos and their companies that are the pillars of American wealth and success. If they weren't as successful we'd all be in much worst shape.

you can tell alot about someone's current mental state by an imbalance in the symmetry of their eye 'posture' and surrounding muscle. A person of sound mind, usually has both eyes equally open, well in touch of reality. Eyes doing different things denote a split, anguish, secret

1/3 of the world still lacks access to toilets, yet this guy could wipe his butt with Benjamin’s for the rest of his life.

And how many of the amazon workers can barely pay the mortgage lol

No surprise, he Barely pays his employees minimum wage!

Isn't this because we're stuck at home ordering everything from Amazon? Didn’t we kind of make this happen? I mean….he doesn't make a shitload of money if we don't buy crap from Amazon....right?

He could probably buy two countries with the money he has

Envy, anger and bitterness are an unhealthy cocktail.

MadeInChina

He prepared and positioned himself for this. You cant fault the man for having VISION!!!

Look at those eyes...sinister.

What is the big deal? If it is legal more power to Jeff.

He is super rich but his workers just make ends meet.

Ffs pay your people right JeffBezos

Good for him, but why is he not paying his employees a fair wage!! Share some of the wealth!

Yes let’s get mad at a guy that created a business to make money 🙄 the human race is killing itself off with ignorance

Bezos doesn't care.

Amazon is a monopoly and needs to be sliced up.

JeffBezos it is time to share with your shareholders and initiate a dividend program. BNNBloomberg

Be careful. He will fire you for saying this.

crazy idea, if Many people just dont buy from amazon theyll have more money in there pocket and less in Jeffs. Strange how that works

Democrat stimulus bill slammed by bond king Jeff Gundlach - Business InsiderBillionaire bond king Jeff Gundlach slammed the Democrats' proposed new $3 trillion coronavirus relief bill — and said it would take total state aid to 'over 150% of Federal taxes' Tax rates for those who make fortunes off of pushing paper will undoubtedly go up so those types will not have to mow lawns and spread asphalt. Where were this genius billionaires warnings when trump’s administration was tanking our economy through ignorance? If Gundlach is farsighted, why no warning? Or maybe he’s just not that brilliant. Our economy will be better off if everyone eats. Bond profits, who cares? Guy hoarding money worried about others getting too much. There’s your corrected headline.
