He isn't the sole proprietor

Fuck this shit is spicy. Do me proud y'all and I'll jump back into the mix later

Gonna homestead some random country

You fegs in?

and those who invested in it have been duly rewarded for their efforts and loyalty.

And while we're talking about the people that helped build amazon let's talk about the horrendous working conditions in amazon fulfillment warehouses

I'm in!

agreed, we should raise working conditions for laborers in those positions

Nein. Thanks to greedy corporations, I can't afford to do so.

I mean, I'm being for real

Duly rewarded

Right.

and then accept the steeper costs associated for those better working conditions in Amazon centers

I can technically become a citizen of a certain country

That's why Amazon employees have some of the worst working conditions every right?

>taking a shit job with shitty pay and shitty conditions in communist e Asia

they (mostly) don't invest in the company

Jeezus the level of autism is staunch

Jeezus the level of autism is staunch

do you understand that it's just as absurd from my perspective???

because we have totally different paradigms on this

Because there's no pay out in investing at the level most employees have? Because most of them are barely breaking even as it is?

well they also didn't invest early enough

returns would have been higher if they had

Why would I, your average American, spend money on an intangible item that may or may not maintain its value rather than something I need

Good god that's retarded.

Consumerism

That's why

because that's how you accumulate wealth LOL

their money would be worth x1794 what it was at IPO if they had invested THEN

even MORE if they had before ipo

Riiiiiiight. I'm sure that's comforting to people like Konot and I that dont have that ability

What do you define as investing in the company? Because I think the true definition of investing in a company is the work you put into it. Your sweat, blood, and tears. I own stocks in gold mines but I don't consider myself to have "invested" in those mines because I don't work the mines

Personal opinion here but wealth shouldn't be measured by monetary gain

yes you do, that's what IPO is

Thinking like that is why the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich

Should be based on land, and the things you have

Technically it is

man we should have a debate channel

@Hellhound6 we had that kind of wealth system at one point

@AKAlexei I think that's a semantics argument, I consider investing as giving money to the company through stock or % ownership
