Bezos will tell the House Antitrust Subcommitee that Amazon now employs a million people and that it built an online marketplace that allows some third-party sellers -- independent "entrepreneurs" -- to make more than $100,000 a year. He acknowledges that Amazon is "a large company" but that its sprawling scale has created more than $1 trillion of wealth for its shareholders, which include "fire, police, and school teacher pension funds.
The remarks also highlight personal information about his life, like the fact that his mother was a 17-year-old high school student when he was born, and that his adoptive father emigrated from Cuba. They were among Amazon's first investors. "It's not a coincidence that Amazon was born in this country," Bezos said in his prepared remarks. "More than any other place on Earth, new companies can start, grow, and thrive here in the U.S."
In a common theme for Bezos and the company, the statement repeatedly mentions Amazon's drive to please customers, and notes that this focus has made Amazon one of the country's most trusted institutions. "Researchers at Georgetown and New York University found in 2018 that Amazon trailed only the military among all respondents to a survey on institutional and brand trust. Among Republicans, we trailed only the military and local police; among Democrats, we were at the top, leading every branch of government, universities, and the press," the statement says.

Clearly not a full sample set

fear paranoid sickness trust unknown
Bezos is like “trust me bro! And buy some mo!”
It’s ridiculous that these asshats ask questions and then don’t let the people answer.
Not Congress?
Well, I am pretty sure that there aren't any real adults that trust our politicians to do the right thing - they never do, but always like to say they will and say they did. Yet everything they touch is filled with waste and pork and corruption! I trust Amazon way more!
I’ve been wondering if they were going to have some engineers slap together AI to pose as them and answer these questions.... I’m still wondering.
Never support or trust the Juggernaut
Yeah, right. Amazon even has puts its dirty greedy claws on US Army
Is this just another one of those Democrat hearings where all they do is make unfounded allegations and never allow the 'witnesses' to respond? Then CNN summarizes the Democrat accusations since there were no responses given? Kindergarten all over again?
Lol. He's delusional.
What is this stageplay called?
come join us and 250 others watching and commenting on the hearings right now
Bro pay your taxes first before talking about trust.
While he is currently doing the wrong thing with his employees...
I don't even trust Amazon to get my package delivered on time so maybe Bezos should chill.
We trust Jeff Bezos to do the right thing LMFAOOOO
I trust anybody more other than Google, Apple, or Facebook
True. Because JeffBezos amazon customer service rocks. What can’t be solved in a chat is quickly done via a phone call. Glad that they are keeping that kind of service.

Mother Sucking right!!! Just ask my UPS man.
American made in China....
It’s a monopoly who is capitalizing on a pandemic that is crushing small businesses across the country. Also Bezo’s grandfather was a high ranking official in DARPA. Must just be a coincidence.
Oh really, made in China Besos...
No, It's a monopoly and needs to be broken up.
How makes all the money and doesn’t give a shit about his workers?
