I think you envy Bezos more than you hate him.
I lived through the great dot com boom and then bust. Made a bit of money investing in early e-commerce companies, and lost a bit when they went under. There were an awful lot of them not that long ago. Somehow Amazon survived and grew. IMHO it was because they had better execution and now better ideas.
They did not become so big by buying up other companies to form a monopoly, they grew themselves. They still have a lot of competition, but seem to thrive.
Personally, I like Amazon. DW and I retired years ago, and moved to a rural setting. Amazon lets us enjoy most of the advantages of living in a city with few of the drawbacks. Almost any consumer good we want is available to us relatively quickly. And, not driving to the store saves gas and pollution. (Jeff Bezos has reduced pollution more than Obama could ever dream of, without even trying) The prices are good, not the best on the web, but good enough to stretch our dollars.
I will pay a little more for the convenience of Amazon, the free shipping, and most of all because when something isn't what I expected, their customer service can look at our total buying vs. complaining record and issue a prompt refund.
As far as Bezos being a slave driver, I have yet to hear of even one instance of a worker being forced to stay at Amazon. If someone doesn't like the working conditions, they are free to leave and get another job. He has created a lot of jobs in just s few years -- give him credit for that.
I worked long enough as a "wage slave" to know that any job has components I don't like. I was always free to quit and go somewhere else, but somehow all jobs chafe some part of my body.
Now I have my own part-time business, and lots of people like to tell me what I am doing wrong. If they don't like my way, they are free to start up their own business.
Getting back to Amazon, we buy a lot from them because we feel it is a good deal for us. The second it stops being a good deal, we will go somewhere else.
If you don't like them, you are free to buy from anyone else you do like. If you don't like their jobs, start your own company and do it your way.
I do not envy Bezos. Period. I bought technical engineering type books from Amazon when that was all Amazon was in the mid 90s. I do not order anything from Amazon and haven’t in years. It will be funny when the internet goes down for days and none of you will know how to do anything. OMG I may have to actually do something. But you keep ordering, I could care less.
