Jeff Bezos's gain during Covid is enough to give all his employees a $105k bonus
There was some dumb tweet about how he could give everyone in the US $50K which was shown to be wrong after basic division (not to mention the inflation it would cause).<p>Now we are at dumb tweet #2. This is gains from his stock holdings. Selling all of it would mean he no longer owns any stake in Amazon. And its paper gains on a stock - it could double again in a year at which point the same people would whine that he sold too early so employees only got $100K instead of $200K.<p>And its price would drop as he sold it, creating an opportunity to whine about how all the regular stockholders of Amazon (who far outnumber employees) suffered at the expense of Amazon employees. Isn&#x27;t that unfair too?<p>Maybe then we should go even broader and give it to all of the US? At which point you loop back to dumb tweet #1 and realize that would net to $500 or something per person and be completely eaten by distribution costs, inflation and landlords.<p>Then write an outrage piece on the landlords.<p>With enough envy &amp; misunderstanding, you too can complain about how unfair everything is!
