When Jeff Bezos announced that Amazon would be raising its minimum wage to $15 an hour last week, the reception was rapturous. The Seattle Times called it “the just thing.” “Good for them,” said President Trump’s chief economic adviser Larry Kudlow. “I’m in favor of higher wages.” Bloomberg called it proof that “an even higher minimum wage is probably safe for big, productive cities.” Senator Bernie Sanders, a chief Bezos antagonist, called it “enormously important.”
“Unequivocally good news,” said The Washington Post.
The latter is owned by Jeff Bezos, an all-too-easily forgotten point these days. Because for all the questions to follow this announcement — Why now? What is Amazon eliminating to pay for this? How much praise does Bezos, recently crowned the World’s Richest Man, deserve while paying, as of 2017, a median Amazon income of $28,446? — we are not asking the real one.

Here is the "good news", he can't take ANYTHING WITH HIM WHEN HE DIES. 😆
He is down to his last $100 billion.
He CAN'T afford to pay more than an average of $28 grand.
After all, he only makes $260 million dollars EVERY DAY.
On a side note, he WILL take his soul with him and will have an opportunity to explain to God why he thought he needed 100 billion, while people within miles of him went without food or shelter or medicine or ANYTHING.
He drove right by them and checked his bank account. Yep, another $260 million today.
A billion a week. A BILLION A WEEK and if you asked him to help build a hospital on an Indian reservation, his security guards would break your arm as they threw you through the front door glass.
"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the gates of Heaven".
A BILLION a week.....EVERY WEEK.
Keep cheering.
He needs MORE.
There aren't enough prayers to save him.....
