This guy is a producer for a "late night" youtube show with under 13k subscribers and is trying to shit on other people's occupations. Lmao.

Here is, specifically, what Bezos did:
- Recognize that an Internet storefront could gather huge amounts of data on customers
- Recognize that by selling books, he could stock a non-perishable product that is attractive to upscale, middle-adopter consumers (i.e. the best for long term gains)
- Recognize that the big delivery-based operations like Sears had horrible logistics and poor delivery times and service It all spun out from there. That's all he did, and he didn't even actually do that himself, he just got it started and built it beginning with a $250,000 "investment" from his parents.
Amazon did a lot of things since then- but Bezos didn't do them. Bezos hired people to create Amazon Web Services, to provide a product that alread existed on the market. He didn't invent eBooks or even popularize them; he paid people to come up with a way to exploit them and strongarm authors into submitting to unfair business practices.
He didn't invent or design or create anything. All of the creative work done at his company is done by other people.
I've been thinking of writing a book on the taxonomy of billionaires, because they're all basically the same: Ruthless sociopaths who notice, and viciously exploit, a particular combination of business practices, products, and markets while taking credit for the actual work done by other people.
Unfortunately no one would read it because I'm just some dork.

ayy i feel plenty of people (here and elsewhere) will read that if you write it. this is good analysis
These people need to understand how people don't make super arcane, high IQ decisions no matter how high up you go. You enlist a bunch of people to do things you don't know how to do. You get a bunch of people to do leg work, research, a/b testing, polling, etc. for you. You hire lawyers to go aggro against anybody else who does things similar to you. If you're a billionaire you hire lobbyists to give you sweetheart deals and slash public funding in exchange for making it your new marketplace. The further past $1MM net worth you go the closer your contribution drifts towards "owning things." Amazon was in the right place at the right time with the dot com bubble, but ultimately it came down to a lot of luck and the understanding that owning things - land, production facilities, and politicians makes your center of power bigger. It's not exactly a new innovation in truck technology that got him to be the second richest man.
Legitimately can't tell from the tweet whether this guy is lib or fash.
guy just gets cringier every tweet
