Americans need to slam Amazon's tax exempt status.

Just cut a ton of workers like they did and all the unprincipled goofs will still support you.

Ha ha ha ha this is awesome a billionaire calling out another billionaire how about investing in start-up ecommerce companies that will create more jobs.

I think my days of buying from Amazon are coming to an end.

hey this stupid bald man will break market.

That whole pot/kettle thing.

Um...

Aaah the juvenile what about them..........

Walmart has far better benefits than Amazon. Not even close.

'ah yes,' as WCFields would say, the tried-and-true turn the tables on someone else tactic to divert attention from your own abysmal treatment of your employees

Walmart is not the best place to work, USA and the rest of the world needs to teach the people “financial education”! The world need more millionaire minds .

That’s the 1% for you,telling everyone else how to do things

Republicans said they can’t pass a stimulus due to the deficit. Why aren’t they taxing the rich that have profited from the pandemic?
