I think he has to take a lot more responsibility (along with the gig economy big-techs). These people commoditization exploitation. I can imagine people working shit jobs in Amazon, being treated like crap, easily susceptible to marxism because of the way they are treated. Bezos also created the current culture of "lowest price" craziness.
Before Amazon, people didnt obsess about buying the cheapest stuff all the time. The only way he could get people to use Amazon initially was to make sure he offered free delivery. That meant keep prices even lower than retail to eat the shipping cost. But as more online shops popped up, "lowest price no matter what the cost" became the unsaid motto, and with Chinese manufacturing, slave labour etc, here we are.
Exactly. Who does Bezos think is on his side? The right hates him because of the Washington Post, and the left hates him because he's rich.
It seems the only thing that right and left can agree on is hating these giant globalist corporations like Amazon, Google, WalMart, etc.

Jeff has a lot to answer for.
