Bezos and people like him are parasites on the economy. They take other people’s labor, distribute it in a manner that distorts supply/demand, and the control and limit the work of others like authoritarians.

We best get rid of him and his friends.

I think if you stepped out side the bubble of your complete indoctrination on political/economical philosophies, and looked at the real world, you might see things a bit differently.

Parasite? Hyperbole.
