From watching from afar, it seems that right now he makes sure amazon grows just to be able to finance Blue Origin from his own pockets.

He is just a man with ambitions, whose "crime" people call out is amazon not paying profit taxes... With all the taxes from the non cash business amazon brings, that is the least ethical concern about amazon, specially since most of time they indeed have no profit as they reinvest.

Now the warehouse conditions is another thing, but hey it's america, those are spoken about because every its like that but amazon is a big target.

Amazon is a big corp like any other it has a bunch of faults, but to point Bezos simply evil over it is ridiculous, he does not have full control of amazon like Zuck has over FB

>but hey this is America

I think that’s worth discussing (op asked what there is to discuss). I don’t think rich people are evil. But I wish we could come up with mechanisms for them to share their wealth with their employees who helped them build that wealth.

I know where you are coming from, but that is basically what the salary is for. We just have the bad situation that not everyone is in a driver seat to negotiate his salary (or have a choice). I'm not sure how it is in the USA, but in germany for example, there is minimum wage. I think the society and politicians are responsible to make sure that employees are treated gracefully and to establish mechanisms.
