if it was only Jeff Bezos he would be worth more than a Trillion. Jeff started it, and did efficiently, so that he didn't had to sell out to too much VC. He manages one of the most efficient companies in the world. and plenty of employ

If (s)he can't get/create resources, how can he do good? It seems you would just put a waster in power. It's the difference between charity orgs with fading impact, and the ones that change people lives. Same applies to corp

I see, it does make perfect sense, thank you. I also think that too much information or mis-informations, or simply bias or selective information can damage the way you perceive if thinks are getting better or worse, but that's anothe

Really? He was being literally treated as a god among man. And his word was rule there, and not just for the slaves. Bezos is literally nothing. It's just that nowadays the average person has more power, and the average bourgeois has e

Someone a lot better a doing good were not apparently good enough at getting the resources to do good. You can't just dump a lot of power into someone you think that does good, because you have know way to know if (s)he is even able to

What's the issue? amazon pays taxes in multiple ways, what's left it goes into amazon stock value. I think it's perfectly fine to only pay the tax once you sell, why should you keep paying a tax just for owning? With his por

From watching from afar, it seems that right now he makes sure amazon grows just to be able to finance Blue Origin from his own pockets. He is just a man with ambitions, whose "crime" people call out is amazon not paying profit ta

depends on how good you are with your finances. You can easily get too much debt if you are not careful doing those kind of things. Most people just check that the debt payments fit in their budget, but they forget their budget might shrink

Most of Googles revenue comes from Ads. Having their products everywhere takes precedence over a monopoly on Androids which they can't never totally have due to licenses and OEM deals. And there is always the google way of constantly

The equivalent default stores in other systems charge the same. Google's services is 30% as well, and Steam is 30% as well. So it's "market price" for Native Store.

The only reasonably argument for such a big % fee is that when software was shipped physically you would even have bigger "fees", as GP was saying. People are willing to pay for those 30%, as long as iOS has an healthy supply of a
