Can you explain how i am exploited? I use Amazon products daily (as do you), why shouldn't i be thankful to Bezos? He has made my life tangibly better.

I really don't care how many shares of Amazon he has and what the current share price is.

It sounds like a bad job so they should work elsewhere. These are not slave labor camps.

Most people require work to pay for food and housing. Not everyone is able to find a wealth of options for selling their labour.

But as I said, I think the argument requires some basic empathy/solidarity to follow.

By your own logic, they must like it?

Do you think they wouldn't if they had viable options??

Billionaires simply cannot exist without exploitation somewhere (though most often throughout the system that enriched them.)

This isn't even controversial.

Many simply choose to think it's acceptable, even preferable, through whatever twisted justifications.
