Owning 11% percent of amazon is truly evil!!!

So there’s a lot here. 1. You do realize the majority of their wealth is tied up in company stock? So if all the software developers at amazon quit the stock would tank and he would lose the most. 2. Oprah is the ceo of her companies. By definition she manages and contributes. 3. profit is not be “extracted”. It’s being earned. 4. I’m glad you mentioned power dynamics. Surely Oprah, a woman born into the poverty stricken Deep South benefited from power dynamics. Or did she build her own “power dynamic” by building and managing a global brand over several decades? And amazon faced tougher powers. Toysrus, borders, Sears and a host of other retailers could’ve put them out of business had they had the same vision. Surely those Fortune 500 companies could use their massive fortunes to tilt the odds in their favor. 5. Oprah is the furthest thing from a capitalist since she’s known for insane acts of generosity. For instance she took all 1065 of her employees on an all expenses paid trip to Hawaii to celebrate 20 years on tv. Pretty cutthroat right?
