Last time I'm doing this for you.
Jeff Bezos thanked Amazon workers for paying for his space flight. For some, the feeling isn't mutual.

"I guess he's thanking us for putting the money in his pocket to do so by our hard work, sacrificing our bonuses and stock options to make it possible," the Amazon employee in Indiana said. (Amazon's hourly warehouse employees aren't eligible for stock options or bonuses).
"I feel like he just said that because he had a guilty conscience, he knows he's wrong for making money off treating workers like slaves," the Staten Island employee said, referencing the
grueling and
potentially dangerous conditions some Amazon workers encounter.
Amazon has aggressively fought any efforts by its workers to unionize, despite evidence showing unions typically
increase wages and can help address
racial and gender pay gaps.
As other critics of Bezos' space flight — like
Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and New York
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — pointed out, American taxpayers have also subsidized Amazon and
Blue Origin.
Amazon's reliance on a massive network of contract delivery drivers allows it to avoid paying for their healthcare, workers' compensation, and unemployment insurance, and 4,000 of its workers in just nine states rely on food stamps, passing those costs off to taxpayers and other employers whose payments into the social safety net help Amazon workers that have fallen through the cracks.

"It seems Amazon values money way more than life. If they did their job right, I wouldn’t have had to bury my little brother.”

Bezos The Woke Billionaire
Jeff Bezos' Support For Black Lives Matter Is An Act (freedomwire.com)
"If you’re mad at Jeff Bezos for his success, you shouldn’t be. He’s a shining example of capitalism here in the United States and he should be celebrated for his determination.
Of course, it’s a little hard to root for a man that has so much money and yet actively tries to destroy the system that helped him become so rich in the first place.
But that’s exactly what he does when he pushes the Leftist agenda, especially via his overly-biased newspaper The Washington Post.
It seems like, now that he has his money, he’s ready to deny anyone else the opportunity to make a similar fortune.
It’s oddly reminiscent of the oligarchs of communist Russia…and maybe that’s the goal for guys like Bezos and Bill Gates. Who knows?"
