    I mean Amazon is a massive company for whom their employees are less relevant than the machinery since in many places they are cheaper and easier to replace. The only issue is their weird human needs. Its run by a man who could have saved billions but chose to start a rocket project as a vanity toy instead.

    If he ran out naked, punched a warehouse worker while screaming LET THEM EAT CAKE - at this point I think the press would still go "Oh fun loving excentric Amazon owner makes an appaerance talking to warehouse workers, what a peoples person".

    Edit: I am not saying we should guilliotine the mega wealthy, reappropriate their wealth, and perhaps fling their corpses in to the sun - hoping no one would remember them... but you know... We still have guilliotines in museums and this crazy plutocratic world leader has this rocket project we could use.

      I don't know what you mean. This article describes attempts by Amazon to monitor what workers are saying in private groups. You seem to be talking about something else?
