Or...open back up so all businesses can get in on all that money. People have had no choice but to shop at Walmart, Target, Amazon...so of course they’ve made 💰. Blame the govt for shutting down over a virus with a 96% survival rate among our most vulnerable population.

My governor killed small businesses in my area. Big box stores & Amazon were the only choices left. Weird that nobody on Team Blue blames the tyrannical governors for the huge increase in large corporate profits.

How about shaming people who patronize this crap and WM? They are funding the shrinking of quality and competition. They are shooting themselves in the foot for a little short term convenience.

I can’t tell if you’re being disingenuous or you are actually this stupid.

Requirement that stock be a distribution held between employees across all bands equally would be more effective. Bezos would be forced to take a salary and the major stakeholder would be workers.
