Apparently Jeff Bezos makes $28,000 (the median yearly salary of an Amazon employee) every 9 seconds.
He's on the way to becoming the world's first trillionaire.
The inequality is mind boggling. How do you actually, concretely, undo this kind of madness?
@neil @bob OK, first, you start by providing a citation for the numbers you're spreading around.
For example, I cannot find your $28k figure, but I did find a "reliable" source saying he makes only ~$81k _per YEAR_: http://time.com/money/4738275/jeff-bezos-wealth-amazon-highest-paid-worker/
Second, you learn how markets and securities laws work.
Third, well, by that point you will no longer be so upset.
@taoeffect @bob Well, the source article is also time.com: http://time.com/money/5262923/amazon-employee-median-salary-jeff-bezos/
@neil @bob And both headlines would be equally misleading sensationalism that exists for the purposes of getting people riled up.
Behind the scenes, it is far more likely that someone at TIME got pissed off at Jeff and ran this article because he did something they don't like. That's really why this article exists, is my guess, because it's nonsense.
