Jeff Bezos, who earned a lot of money during quarantine, is prophesied to become the world's first trillionaire!
This is such great news, especially against the background of the fact that recently many citizens have faced unemployment, deprivation and even become natural victims of capitalism, having died from a virus that was born and bred with the direct participation of the "invisible hand" of the market.
Of course, the hired employees of the Amazon company, which is owned by Bezos, were also greatly benefited by both an invisible hand and Bezos himself - firstly, they received a salary increase of two dollars per hour for working in a pandemic; secondly, they had the honor of becoming heroes, because they risked their health - while some of them became infected and even died. In general, as always - per one billionaire the world will now have even more people without pants and losers.
In social networks, this news was perceived ambiguously: the majority, of course, are indignant, but there were those who believe that a citizen deserved such capital for his ... labor. The labor is company ownership, obviously. And, of course, in the skillful exploitation of hired lads.
One discussion touched on the fact that Bezos earned several hundred billion, since he obviously works several hundred billion times harder than everyone else. Thus, such an argument should comfort us and help us accept, as an axiom, that we all deserve to live from a penny to a penny.
By the way, that bonus for working in difficult conditions will be canceled from the beginning of next month, instead, employees will be given a commemorative T-shirt with the inscription “thank you!” - as employees may accidentally choke on these two dollars. I wonder what if Bezos will choke on a trillion?
