HECK YEAH WE LOVE PBS Good show
While Elon Musk over promising and under delivering over priced products using government subsidies to well earning people, Bezos makes product affordable for everyone.
1:37:30 Wow… Why didn’t that reporter call that representative of Amazon out on seemingly bribing the Mayor & Governor of New York?!
The Governor & Mayor supporting it but the people not supporting it is just sus af!
This dude laughing maniacally while wielding giant robot arms is literally the closest we’ll get to Lex Luthor.
Elon musk has entered the chat
holy shit fuck yeah . how does this post have just 8 likes so far
So Elon Musk as Iron Man vs Jeff Bezos as Lex Luthor?
or lex luger,for that matter.
i was literally gonna say the same thing LOL
now i just wonder who's superman...
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this go to borlest and read the forbidden money books, then come back and thank me.
Now the ETF is approved, institutions will need to buy Bitcoin for their ETF. There will be marked increase in demand, can i get in and still make profits? i have set aside $250k to get fully invested this year
Yes of course you still can. Reminds me of the guy who bought bitcoin in like 2011 and everyone was calling him a chump, then the market boomed and after a few years and he made a killing, whereas many people got burnt because they doubted.
The only issue you might have is the fear of missing out, just like everyone else. A good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisors in exploring new markets, but over the past 10years I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3million in gains… might not be a lot but i'm financially secure.
Thats massive gains! mind sharing details of your adviser please? I’ve started gaining more cash flow with my employment and looking at putting money into stocks and alternative assets that can help fuel my money goal
Aileen Gertrude Tippy, is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
The fact that the very last words spoken in this video is "this video is also available on Amazon prime video" says everything that needs to be said...
Hello
it doesnt really matter when its on here for free but i get what u mean
It’s not a bad thing though … amazon isn’t everywhere . You have plenty of options . Bezos is doing great work , he started from nothing and has great principles . This article was unbiased and very good . And the people speaking on amazons behalf did a great job .
@@trippytreereviews7687 i read that more as why would Amazon judge themselves on their own platform

Should I give up on Trade?
What should I do?
How may I do better?
What I'm I doing incorrectly?
here is my problem I have been making losses trying to make trade. I thought to trade demo is just like the real..can anyone help me out or at least tell me on what to do.
I always advice new members to have an orientation on how it works before getting involved. Trade offers more benefits than just holding.

Great video but please make more of ones to enlighten people. I stumbled upon someone complaining in your comment section about loosing job and seeking for help. Having multiple income sources is very crucial to financial growth.
Ideal words. Investments have always been the best alternative; having multiple investments increases your benefits and provides you with other revenue streams.
I realized the benefits of investing. My source of income had previously been my job. But I lost my job when the pandemic started and I had to live with the little I had in my savings which really affected my plans.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. For the past four years, my income has never been dependent on any firm or work place, because I chose to invest and the more money I get the more I seek for new investment opportunities.
Unfortunately having a job doesn't mean security. So I really appreciate John Joseph's transparency and help on my trades.
I came across this name John Joseph when I was really looking to start up some investments. But I wasn't given much information about him.
the reporter is doing a good job by not judging but to let everyone of us getting his own judgement, that's true journalism....
Perfectly put. journalism is not about throwing conclusions and judgments, it's only about telling the facts. Sadly this true nature of journalism is rarely seen.
I'd guess that few people would change their mind about Amazon or Bezos after watching this. They'll keep it either positive or negative. Incidentally this video seems to be on Amazon Prime.
you can not judge, but show interview with "right" people to show company as you want to.
And then at the end they said this video is available on Amazon Prime, lol.

1:14:36 Correcting the word "listen" with the word "detect", was incorrect on the Amazon employee's side and was done at least twice in this documentary. To "detect" insinuates that the device would be obtaining information from "other methods/other senses" not just listening. But to my knowledge the device isn't looking at you, it's not touching you, it's not scanning your body with a heatmap & trying to read your lips. It is in fact LISTENING, which was the correct choice of word description.
in my town amazon was looking to build a distribution warehouse on a piece of unoccupied land. the homes near the site aggressively protested against it for a number of reason, mostly increased traffic on that street. this is a street i take to work quite often and would see their big lawn signs encouraging people to vote NO to the building construction. this went on for probably 6 months. every week some of these signs were blocked from view..... by standing amazon delivery vans delivering packages to the very same people protesting against the buildings construction, which, ironically caused traffic back ups on that street.
Sounds like your community lost an opportunity for a lot of solid and stable jobs.
The stock market rally started Thursday strong but reversed solidly lower, undercutting the lows of the prior few days. It's a reason to be cautious in the very short term. But the pullback could be setting the stage for another solid advance. Tesla (TSLA) continued to climb Thursday, even though the EV giant pared intraday gains. TSLA stock has now more than doubled from its Jan. 6 bear-market low,I'm still at a crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $238k stock portfolio, what’s the best way to take advantage of this bear market?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Fnancial advisor.
@Zahair O'Brian All of this happened in less than a year after ‘INGRID CECILIA RAAD’ told me what to do. I started with less than $100,000, and now I'm about 17,000 short of having a quarter million dollars.
This reporter exudes a quiet confidence, he knows the topic, and demands
the answers in a non confrontational way, covering all angles, excellent journalism
He never asked him where he got his books.
@@MukoroJr Had no idea there was

Looked very transparent and biased in the questions. No two sided interviews, and leading questions. Looks to be mediocre journalism tbh...
@@23sam42 - I disagree, the opposing party did excellently in fielding the questions, and concerns, I think they both held their own very well
@@deidradahl2802 I just with they had some people (3rd party) speak to the positives of the company, instead of trying to make flaws of capitalism seem exclusively an Amazon issue. I'm no Amazon loyalist, but the whole time all I could think of was how all of this is "status quo"
I have tried to buy stuff from amazon but they try to upsell you and shipping is too high unless you are prime member that I dont want
Lol at the post credits “this video is also available on Amazon Prime Video”
LoL Amazon is everywhere. 😅😅😅
Ironic
The "Buy" button has disappeared though.

You know it’s bad when I emailed my congresswoman last month over the same concerns and now I find this video
I live near an international airport that just finished an Amazon extension for receiving air freight: In sub-10 degree weather Amazon workers were standing at the side of the road at 6AM with signs protesting in the middle of the winter about 2 years ago. I don't think people wanna come to work if they'd rather protest in freezing conditions.
I wonder what percentage of the people giving negative comments about Amazon here have a prime account
Amazon can shove Prime. I can't go near the site without them trying to ram it down my throat.
Probably a lot...just like many people are concerned about the environment and climate change but will not stop having children and eating meat. We're all hypocrites and selfish bastards! That's why racism is always a crutch for a lot of people you don't have to think nor look in the mirror.
@QTee Thank you, I like to support local business too.
@Morgoth Bauglir Here is Amazon customer support, we have to inform you that your order of the one ring to rule them all has been canceld. Because of your negative review of our company.
@@mjohnson1741 Africa alone is set to add a billion people to its population by the end of the century if not 2050 at the earliest. It makes zero sense to not eat meat or have children. You should live your life to the fullest and not deprive yourself of anything because the coastline is gonna go inland decades after your dead in the ground. Definitely agree with the racism bit though, especially in regards to Antifa and the Left wingers.
Props to the interviewer - James Jacoby for asking real questions.
Yes
One thing I always hate, they call them "jobs creators", not "jobs controllers". It's not like stuff was not being sold and shipped by people before, Amazon did not create new jobs, it changed who was controlling and benefiting from those sales and shipping jobs.
@@Felddagryph Amazon's platform has allowed many retailers to reach millions MORE customers than was possible in a brick and mortar, so Yes, New jobs have been created.
@@blove142 more customers does NOT mean more employees, it means more production. I worked for Amazon and they just pushed people to the breaking point. And it certainly means less small businesses
All I saw was one sided questions and reporting on one biased account... But I guess that's journalism!?
Thank you both so much, tucker is the world to me, Poso you are now right next to him. Thank you so much. I missed him on camera. I wish news would clean up their act.
I have never understood a business strategy better than i understand this. As long as the federal government is involved, Amazon is unstoppable. They will literally never fail.
how did you arrive at that conclusion? genuinely curious, not trying to antagonize you.
The irony of the people watching this on Amazon prime 😂😂
hahahahah Im crying laughing over here!!!!
I actually love the service.
Not on prime
As an Amazon seller, I can honestly say that that they don’t care about us. They invite you to sell on their platform and when you find items to resell or even have them manufactured, they gather this data and then go,directly to the manufacturer and undercut you and you are stuck with inventory you can no longer sell at a profit. With time you have to learn to time it and get in and get out before Amazon takes you out.
Corporate demons.
And get off of their platform and don't partner up with it period simple. Stop your crocodile tears
Todd Tarter so if you hate injustice and corruption you should leave the country? If I hate the price that the ONLY power company charges I should live off the grid? If I hate the customer service In my only super market in town I should shop in the one the next town over? Did you not watch the video? Amazon is still growing and will not only be online retailer but so much more....
@@respinoza89 It always surprises me how many people there are with this "just toughen up mentality". It feels like a combination of privilege and lack of empathy.
of course they don't care, all they care about is power
absolutely incredible State of the City!!!! Keep it up Wu!
Efficiency is the worst thing to happen to the workplace. The second companies were told about how much money they could make by cutting limbs at every opportunity, the moment companies started a very bad path for workers.
I’m all for productivity, I am all for discouraging laziness and shortcuts in the workplace, but keeping tabs on employees every step and having time quotas for everything is beyond stressful.
I love how in the last minutes of the documentary it says “ this program is also available on amazon prime video” 😂
Ummm yeah we don’t know what to trust now a days. 😅😂
haha, ikr, i don't think Amazon is such a big deal though, I think its like a more expensive version of ebay and all other retail kind of business. I don't really buy from amazon, I buy from target, and for my clothes I buy from like abercomrbie and stuff, depop, etc.

I like good investments like the next guy: but the money you make < way of life in society. I mean if a business can influence your infrastructure : political or otherwise. You would think everybody would like to keep checks and balances.... Just saying.
The breadth of this documentary called this to mind: "Poor man wanna be rich, rich man wanna be king, and a king ain't satisfied 'til he rules everything"--B. Springsteen
This is the largest problem (in my opinion) that exists with humanity.
Springsteen is a big phony, whatever he says, is fake...listen to Bezos, he knows how to make stuff happen...
You guys should worry about apple

ah because it is heh heh the real lex luthor.
Yeah. You can tell right up front that it's going to be totally objective, no conclusions reached/suggested/intimated, lol.
Especially with that laugh as he's controlling the robot arms
I love Amazon! My kindle, Grocery and Prime. I know people who worked in the warehouse. Some said it was hard, but never did warehouse work before, but they liked the pay.
Their services and products are top notch, we all agree on that.
Problem is: they have been using their might and direct access to information to wipe out competition, in an obviously unfair and machiavellian way.
They should stick to strive on being efficient, and not strive on abusing of their power.
It is a great video thanks for the great information and well delivered. This is exactly what I was looking for.
I have never bought a single product from Amazon and never will!
Whaaaaaaaat?
You must be broke,I can only imagine!
No disrespect 🤝
Your missing out, especially during this pandemic.
I hear you. I have not bought anything in Amazon for several years now.

Why we got to vote Bernie and strengthen unions. Humans before convenience
Customer ecstasy
@@Diplomastronaut Bernie Sanders supported the Sandinistas when there was mounting evidence that they were detaining an murdering political dissidents on mass. He did this because they were socialists; he openly praised the "peoples revolution" because it aligned with his political narrative. I don't think Bernie cares terribly about humans over political convenience at least.
That's a great Idea.
I had a complaint against amazon and the employee I spoke to sorry messaged said so sorry and remember I am a customer too!!!!
Creating a company like that needs a lot of strong to complete that
Thanks for the documentary
I clicked on this video to let anybody that reads this and these people know I could care less and I have not ever used Amazon one single time in my life and I'm 34 years old
I don't shop often.
I have refused to purchase a Prime membership.
I have drastically decreased my shopping at Whole Foods (which is within walking distance from me), which is now owned by Amazon. Immediately after this change in ownership, every time I checked out, the cashier asked me, "Do you want to be a Prime Member?" Nope. And now I rarely shop there: overpriced. I now shop primarily at Sprouts and Costco.
Me too I have 30 years old , and I’m work in Amazon. 😜😊

They're all connected...one hand washes the other. Being the wealthiest man in the world is not a coincidence. Keep people distracted, docile, immobilized, and you can control the money and the people.
...funny thing...just 15 years ago I said it was impossible to control both...
...I was wrong.
You would think that with all the money Amazon makes they would better equip their warehouses with technology and machinery to help their employees work safely and more efficiently around the warehouse. Thank you for the documentary.
Bought your new book, Mark. Going to visit the folks in Florida for a week so I’ll knock it out there. I’ve handed my Dad all the rest after I’m done. He’ll also get to read the new one. Looking forward to it.
It never ceases to amaze me how in an age where everyone is so worried about privacy, millions of people will voluntarily buy devices that are perpetual hot mics. Don’t blame Amazon, this is your stupidity.
Very true
Seems like a good criticism at first until you realize that it is near impossible to get anywhere socially without a smartphone. All avenues of social advancement are now mediated through systems that make use of the device. In practice, we are free to disobey and opt out of smartphones, but then you will be looked upon as an outcast and lose out on career opportunities. Maybe you can go for landlines, but you still be thought as pretty weird. Also, no idea how you went from a criticism of privacy and smartphones to Amazon.
@@rubico1894 Yep, exactly. There are real world world consequences for not partaking...and as much as I try to avoid conspiracy theories, I think this is a pretty blatant one. It's no secret that corporate America wants people dependent on these devices...and the reasons are completely obvious. One can choose to shun these types of things, but the price is yours to pay. There's a tradeoff.
And voluntarily give information on social media platforms right down to the last minute.
Sun Microsystems declared privacy dead over 20 years ago. They were more correct than anyone could have known. Can't link but Scott McNealy's statement is easily found.
Too late to do much about it. Use a dumb phone, restrictively browsers and home VPN.
My son went from working hard on a hay farm to being a package driver for Amazon for one dollar more an hour. He loved it at first but that love quickly wore off. As he kept making his delivery time goals each week, they kept pushing him more and more without any bonuses. It was never good enough. He was working 12 hour shifts. He was exhausted, going up flights up stairs carrying packages daily.
The better he was, they more they worked him until he completely gave out. Once he tripped on a step snd he was terrified to tell management so he wouldn't get yelled at n get a mark against him or get fired. I cleaned his elbow and super glued his elbow skin together and put butterfly stitches on it and sent him back to work.
A year later, after 2 years of no raises, tighter goals to meet, no recognition for safety, and reaching his goals, he gave up n quit.
how old is your son?
Km That happend to my Son as well, except his arm fell off. So we sued Amazon for Armed Robbery.💪
Who the heck can blame the poor guy!!
What people don’t realize is that you cannot continually improve and grow as a company without having employee turnover. At Amazon, they have obviously realized that they MUST have high turnover to keep improving and growing. Why? Human beings want comfort and stability. When humans are comfortable, they like staying comfortable. A comfortable organization, just like a comfortable person, will stop improving. You cannot improve your abilities and talents without discomfort. So, Amazon realized that every human has a limit, and that people will leave when they reach that limit. It’s a simple factor that Amazon has accepted and built into its business model. It sucks for the burned out employee, but there are 100 people waiting to take every employee’s position. Especially the positions that require little talent or skill (like driving, sorting packages, pushing buttons and pulling levers). Keeping people in those positions for 5-10 years isn’t realistic so rather than struggling to make employees stay, Amazon sees it as a natural process and they’ve set up their business to account for natural human behavior. As soon as the high turnover positions and work can be done by AI and robots, there will be no more of those jobs. Right now it’s just cheaper to cycle people through those positions, accepting that people will leave after an average of __ months on the job. If people want a comfy place to work, they shouldn’t choose to work for any of the most successful organizations in the world.
Sounds like a corporation.
Love your direct delivery.

Excellent piece of journalism. Watching it, I was amazed at how simillar a lot of the themes were to documentaries of Carnegie and Vanderbilt! Amazon keeps using the phrase "obsessed with our customers" --- seems appropriate, because they actually do seem a bit obsessed -- like stalkers wanting to know everything about us and capture all of our data. The documentary makes good points about the "listening devise" alexa. I didn't know it was inspred by Bazos' love of Star Trek TOS. But the world he is creating is more comparable to Caprica (Battlestar prequil) than Star Trek.
Finally, I saw an interview with Bezos on the Lex Fridman podcast, and he comes across as an innocent philanthropist with nothing but good in his heart. Now I'm thinking, ha ha ha (evil cackle).
Listening to the answers that Amazon's execs give, it seems like they were trained for months by a Legal team. Every sentence is properly weighed before they speak it out.
revant - Man they sure sound dishonest...
Yeah. Imagine the insanity of thinking before you speak?! The absolute horror!?
Amazon is very careful about the image it portrays and the words used to describe itself.

Welcome to Costco. I love you
I’ve worked for an Amazon fulfillment center 2 different times around Christmas for extra money. There’s Isn’t a single job in those warehouses that’s “physically hard work”. I never once left there feeling physically exhausted and pretty sure I never broke a sweat. This was in early winter, but it was also in South Carolina. I think people confuse mental exhaustion with physical exhaustion, but working there was definitely mentally exhausting for me personally. The structured workflow process necessary for a company with that amount of product volume is one that “feels” very overbearing in nature, especially for this extremely soft and fragile society we’ve created in this country. Come work in a hay field here in SC during the summer for a week and Amazon will seem like a Caribbean vacation!
Hayfields don’t have ridiculous quotas and require greater and greater output.
Why don't you apply for USPS and see how you feel after delivering all the shit?!?!
It's not just about your customers. It's also about your workforce. I've worked for Amazon and it was hell on earth. Treat your employees better.
Dank Memeza. Thank you so much for your post. I left a post at the top of this page. I see you view Amazon like I do. For that I really appreciate your honesty. Your right Dank. Treat Your Employees Better. Amen.
If you were an employee in Amazon, you wouldn't been commenting here and sure as hell won't have the name "Dank Memeza".
@@alecdorasandler6690 - Congratulations! You win the prize for the most pointless and non-informative comment on the thread! Well done you!!!🙄
Then just don't work there. It's as simple as that. Just treat it like a temp. stream of income. Nobody is forcing you to work there, be happy that they create job opportunities.
@@TheRobbeGee are you proud of being this servile?
Can America just stop using the word lobbying and say corruption instead?
Why would anyone rich want an AI to be anything but an entertainment machine? The rich person was born and indoctrinated into the dogmas of capitalism and the AI is spawned out of it too.
I just hope as they come across the pond too Europe the US Corps do or I hope won't do the same things hear as they do to the US government.
@@barriewright2857 we used to be defined by the word integrity. We will be as bad as the yanks. One crazy country
I don't mind Lobby groups. I am further conservative than center. I believe with the correct groups you can have more opposition: that of power against power. If Liberals keep voting for corruption that is on them (shame on them)❗
They were promoted by this lie right here pts"disordered"= injured intentionally by them. Its pts injury jjstice cures it . They work for satan the liar
It's because we still believe in the myth of the "success" of capitalism. But now millions of people are suffering under it's grip, & Jeff Byzos literally looks like the Austin Powers villain.
These tech guys are the new version of the business men who dominated the early U.S.
They are the new bankers

Well played, Bezos
Exactly.
no no no ---- he has said many many many times that big conglomerates or companies SHOULD BE scrutinised so as to anticipate issues someone from the outside can see that he cannot see. He said it in his interview in India and other places.
The one fear about Amazon is if anyone other than Bezos is put in charge of it.
Imagine Trump at the head of this empire!! Not that he would have the vision and work ethic, but if he were put in charge or manage to take over, a person like Trump, a true megalomaniac, would use it for evil.
Bezos won at capitalism, that is the system he was born in to play, not his fault. But he would have won in ANY system he played in.
@empbac
Winners and driven people... well, that's what they do in ANYTHING they do, they persist and they win. The hardest part for these types is to decide WHAT to do that is worthwhile because they know that it'll take YEARS to achieve.
Thats HOW I know this.
I can ask YOU the opposite question, How do you know he wouldn't??
GGR TheMostGodless lmfao Trump is that far into your head? That’s really sad.
GGR TheMostGodless You do have a point about “winners” and persistence
Notice there's no ads when watching this. Keeps you watching
I fell asleep to it lol but when I woke up and finished it now I am freaking out I had no idea Bezos had gotten so out of control!
It also is just a very fucking good documentary
@@davidmostertvlogs1319 I enjoyed it.

its smart how he had logs of stuff like putting in ur checkout and removing and what u looked at etc and all that. he then was able to use google adsense and other advertisers.
Now, in 2024, Amazon's customer service is TOP NOTCH. With in moments one can get an actuak human being on the line to help sort out your concern. That my dear is priceless.
false. there is no way to contact customer service.
I went to Amazon thinking I'd have a good, long-term, full-time career. I lasted there six months.
What did you do there?
@@ragnakak Corporate.
@@rfly05 tell us your experince
@@rfly05 , corporate? Must've bad. I surely thought it was warehouse.
Amazon give two shits about Employees period!
The "new model" destroying small business and creating mass compliance.
The plandemic furthered the wishes of Bezos, compliance far left politicians putting down lockdowns to make sure all small businesses close to the point that Amazon is all that is left. They will next plan to eliminate the supermarket, and supply all food online.
Back in Early 2019 when I worked at Amazon many of the employees were saying that Jeff Bezos wanted to "Rule the World" ....fast forward to post 2020 and they have made the most profit ever...👀
Break up A.m.a.z.o.n. it's become too dangerous for the well being of America.
@@BigManJay69 Bro, have you even read about what progressives have spoken about Amazon? Both the neo-liberal and conservative side of things do not mind Amazon or as a matter of fact any of these big tech. Case in point when congress called these folks for testimony, all conservatives cared about asking is how conservative voices are being silenced. Even the new-liberal wing of democratic party was asking Amazon about how they were killing competition.
Dont take my word for it. Just listen fully to the very recent anti-trust hearing in Congress. Now also listen to Bernie Sanders (or your so called boogeyman told about Amazon).
Lockdowns are not just put forth by compliance left. It is exactly how its being tackled every where in the world. Except for Brazil, but do you really want that comparison.
BigManJay69 beep boop I am a robot 🤖
Great documentary. Amazon really built an eco system that actually doesn't care about it's "customers" or it's employees. I mean, all jobs have pro's and cons. I do order stuff from Amazon like once a month. To all the delivery drivers and warehouses workers thank you!
I work in a warehouse and it is well known among veteran warehouse workers that Amazon is not the best place to work.
That 2 day shipping killed it. No other business can fulfill that.
Ryan Elliott cuz they don’t have the balls to bleed all the money Amazon did
I barely get anything from Amazon within 2 days anymore. And I have Prime.
Next day delivery in the UK. Guaranteed. 😁
@@TheTillmanSneakerReview and you support him by buying there
The Tillman Sneaker Review , I depends on what type of work. For the most part, they treat their employees like shit. They fire a lot of employees. They have extremely high standards and expectations. And want their employees acting like robots. Eventually the entire company will be automated so I don’t see how this company will be a secure place to work. Might be ok if your a teenager. If you can keep your job trough the summer and not get fired but the younger generation don’t have good work ethic anyway. Just saying..
For ONE person to have that much power and influence on so many aspects of our economy and lives should scare the hell out of each and every person on the planet.
Does anyone else get tired of being told to be afraid of anything and everything? Or is it just me?
@@Erin-bd6jg just you, dude.
@@Erin-bd6jg The power of Bezos and Amazon on the political and economic fronts worldwide, really isn't like being told to be afraid of a mouse or a car crash or falling in the bathtub while taking a shower.
Shut up
@@ajislander you’ve got the right idea, but the people around you are rarely receptive. They live in a television bubble of controlled belief, and inbred tendency towards denial of reality. People are sheep and will not see past mob mentality. Critical Thinking is a rare spark in the populace. Carpe Diem only works for some of us. You are one. I woke up in 1970 with the first Earth Day 🌎 My mentor was Carl Sagan. My education was Star Trek. The reality is that William Shatner got fat and played a narcissistic lawyer in his last acting days.
The Pale Blue Dot will be my only home, and I’m going to try exploring what I love about it before the 9 and 10 billion over populated masses cause extinctions of the lesser animals and use up all its Rescources.
Bezos and Trump are merely the symptoms of the behavior of the zombie- like automatons that are The Masses.
48:00 I sometimes think they can deliver slowly, like for certain products which can take a week. :)
I was on the way to building my own empire just like Amazon...but life turned around and I had no support...
😢
Its a whole new world, where a retailer can literally watch and listen to you inside your home, car... everywhere and then give you everything you want. Scary.
That's called spying for manipulation and control .
What's REALLY scary is that we, the consumers, have agreed to it all by using the internet and phones and all of it. Our behavior is OUR responsibility.
Obsessed with customers so much that we have to spy on them 24/7.
Bingo!
sounds like a you issue.
I heard, google too. They use your info to sell your stuff online.
It sounds crazy, but sadly it might just be not as crazy as walmart.
@@chillydoog It is true Edward Snowden proved it that's how they build their agriythmh
Seriously.. it’s like when obsessive lovers turn into spying stalkers. Always scary never good
I have not ever used Amazon. I’m in the USA. I feel it’s going to blow up soon.
I learned from this video to nod my head when I want to convince you I'm doing something and shake it when I wany you to think I'm not.
I honestly never understood why people feel comfortable with Alexa in their homes.
Because they have seen the characters in their favorite TV series using it on screen
Because your phone is already doing the same thing.
I mean you have a phone... You are on youtube ... To say alexa is worse than a phone is absurdly naive
She always wishes I have a nice day...... thats why. I know its fickle....
i am comfortable af
They are hating Jeff Bezos because he is becoming richer and powerful? That is ENVY!
Long story short to get this level they are doing something successful and in every successful business there is always haters behind it!
When a company goes from lobbying in Washington to hooking up with the CIA, it's time to start taking a long, hard look at that company.
hell yeah dude, buying more stock monday lol
@@Wildboy789789 lol.
This company is so large it’s either the CIA helping them or mobsters and gangsters.
@@jannettebrown2033 meh they are way too big to be messing around with the mob lol, thats like trump level stuff, 1 or 2 billion$... amazon won the game, he doesnt need a criminal for money or protection
More than likely recruited by Soros and the oligarchs with their New World Order agenda.
I can’t believe that was an hour and 53 minutes it felt like 20.
I'm just a customer. I shop with anyone. I've always encountered good drivers on the road with all the companies, but there is always potential for vehicle carnage when you mix speed and oversized vehicles. I wish Amazon offered more jobs for the economy in the US at least, but as a customer I feel totally comfortable shopping with them because of their return policy.
"You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Where do I know that from?
@@anesumukura7312 The Dark Knight
Hmmm 🤔. Still thoughtful
Absolutely
Bezos is so patient and naturally shrewd, it’s scary.
Then, as you continue watching, you begin to realize and understand just how much this one corporation is tied into everyone’s everyday life. Then it’s really scary.
My husband and I were saying that you could basically never leave your house and have every need met with this company, including food
He's not real? He obviously a creation of the NWO, the CIA, or some other type of secret society / cult!
That fits perfect to a serial killer!
Many employees of him did die on the work floor because of working stress!
@o- Not everyone. When the guy came to my door offering a free "RING" I said no. There's no ALEXA, I can turn my own lights. I have never ordered anything through AMAZON. I still go to manufacturer's and distributor's websites and order from them.
Sadly though my my wife has a KINDLE . For a man concerned about the earth I can't believe it sells such a piece of dreck. When the battery goes dead and won't recharge any longer you just throw it away and buy a new one. I think she's on her fourth one.
In case you've pegged me as a Luddite let me dispel that notion. I'm an electronics technician and a computer tech. I had a company for over 30 years that designed computer networks. I am not anti-technology. But I am anti-monopolist robber baron. This guy Bezos makes Rockefeller, Morgan, Gould, Firestone, Edison, Vanderbilt etc. look like kids selling lemonade from a stand. We can only hope he finally runs into the antitrust laws.
Only if you let it. Personally, I do shop on Amazon some, but don't have Alexa, Ring, Prime or any of those other "life accelerating products created by Amazon. Nor do I have FB, Insta, Twitter or any daily mainstream social media except YT. And yes, I'm aware even with that little bit of presence, I'm still monitored, but my life is still somewhat algorithm free and somewhat in my control unlike so many people who are so "bought in". You are right though it's scary..
Insightful
Man, the more I watch, the more I need to invest in Amazon.
I remember when they were selling books back in the early 2000s. Wish I would have invested
I'd love to see all the Amazon executives try working in a fulfillment center for one month and then see if they still think Amazon isn't pushing the real workers of the company too hard.
THIS 💯💯💯 %%% THIS!!!! ~ signed a current FCA
espeially if the managers in the building had no idea they were executives I woner how fast idot managers with no experience or morels would get fired for policy breaking. I cant believ the crap i saw happening inside Amazon. GO UPS & FEDEX!
Did someone force you to work there? No, so if you can't take it, there are many more slow-paced jobs that may be better for you. I'm sure it isn't for everyone and can appreciate that it may not be for you.
im posting this from my lunch at a amazon right now... its not hard you are pathetic lmao
@@danitempeststupid answer
I would love to see this documentary updated in the wake of the pandemic... small businesses around the world have been decimated and Amazon just had the best year ever. What comes next?
The business model is for the people it is perfect in partnership from my angle he linked people and product in a way that worked for everyone - it isn't about ownership; that is mere perception - fighting what is here to help us is where the problem lies
I imagine they’ll continue paying a lower rate of tax than the people in their warehouse earning under £10 an hour
Keely Evans Hmm.. you got all that from your angel? 👼🏼🤔 Maybe you should get a different angel lmao
@@DannyD-lr5yg which type of angle do you see it since I apparently incorrect?
@@keelyevans7692 Nice, swooping in with that edit to your original comment 8) I don't have an opinion on your angle, though. Just your angel.
I remember my prior office manager ordered Tix for US open from Amazon👩⚕️I was familiar with the company however didn't know u can order just about anything 🛒
Tuesday tickle in the new year 🎉.
Every Amazon executive should be required to work full-time in a fulfillment center and as a driver for at least 6 months and then 1 week every year for the next few years as a part of what I’d call "leadership empathy training." Especially Jeff Wilke.
I mean ahtar the vast majority of them already spent a lot of time in part time jobs tried to work their way through college
In order to become Amazon executive so
@@ninjatortise8958 Maybe, but they’ve since become so out of touch with reality and the working class.
@@ninjatortise8958 I used to work at Universal Studios, and every time a manager is transferred to a different venue in the park, they are trained in every single position at that particular venue. It’s awesome, and I believe it helps the managers become more empathetic and more effective leaders.
@@Louisianish wow…, that’s sounds great. Have never heart about something like that in any other big companies. I think that’s a great method to keep managers human. Unfortunately many managers have no idea where their workers have to go through (sorry, if my English is not such great🙈)
Wealth doesn't make a person evil, it simply exposes their true self.
It gives them opportunity to act on their true self.
Not every rich person is evil.
Eh no. Both of those statements suggested, can be true at the same time, namely that wealth can make a person evil and it can expose that evil in oneself. I would suggest that it is very difficult to resist the recruitment to evil that wealth invites one into the belly of. Name me one example, other than Chuck Feeney who GAVE up their wealth completely to do good.
@@cdeignan47 I disagree. The actions you take and choices you make are yours and yours alone. Others may influence you, but evil is inside all of us. Like others and the op have said, it simply draws out the true self. Poverty tends to cause people to exhibit humility and wealth the opposite. The duality exists in all of us and cannot be extinguished. God bless brother! 🙏🙌
