Ppl don’t understand when you have a great work ethic when given the right road map you can do any thing…like me. I’m not afraid to take a flight to the top of Japan by myself and not speak the language. Why? I was in queens and was homeless more than once. A SUIT CASE OF CASH. I can go anywhere
Jeff is such a weak, tiny nothing. History will judge this weak ass billionaire. I promise. He knows.
Fake news media
AMAZON is to be the example that you follow. Stop being suspicious about ppl getting rich. go try your luck. this guy worked hard and used his loaf. Well done.
"BIG THINGS START SMALL"
"Revolutionize commerce? Oh, please! Jeff Bezos is a pioneer, Not a deity! Let's get real here; he didn't revolutionize commerce, he successfully scaled a big ass virtual flea market and added a delivery service. But portraying him as some Pharaoh or god is beyond absurd. Jeff Bezos, you've got an ego the size of the moon, and speaking of the moon, when these mega-rich folks start blabbering about space travel, it sets off alarms.
Tell me, people, should anyone with deep pockets have the privilege to launch stuff into outer space? Is that responsible? My theory is they're so loaded that the government throws them tax breaks In exchange for data. I mean, come on, we all know we didn't go to the moon! 20 hrs of research is enough to give doubt but you have open your eyes and point them to the information. Jeff Bezos, with all his secrets, not just Amazon orders but all that juicy AWS datacenter info that countless companies rely on platform as a service (PaaS). Big corporations from every corner of the business world are hooked on AWS.
Next phase I would imagine depends on us. If we don't know who and what we are then others will set our value for us. The biggest lie ever told (or omitted) is about us while we live ignorantly in subjection from birth, and interfered with at every turn, programmed. Ask yourself "Are your thoughts your own?" And since we don't know who and what we are, how will be be able to compete with AI? It's a bunch of code created by humans. If only greed weren't a thing. I have actually wondered if AI has been in charge all along. When I look at the capstone "A" and all seeing eye at the top of it on the dollar bill, I wonder.
Think "data" and lets not be foolish or give mega derks all the power. They have AI, it can make judgements about ALL your activities. It can create a movie of your life if directed to, with ease. Just needs data. We have been and are being monitored by corporations who don't give a f* about you as an infinite eternal multi-dimensional being. They hope you never figure it out and keep buying materials making them matter. If empathy were currency who would be rich? What is the urgency of "returning to moon to live" that it should trump initiatives that (eyes closed or not) exist right here on earth, like homelessness and poverty. Empathy, the scarcest commodity of our age. Eyes and hearts open!
Amazon is an Awesome place to work!! These grippers are just unhappy people!!! If you want to work, Amazon has a job for you No questions ask!! No judgement against anyone and everyone is treated like a customer. You’re always right and if it can be improved upon, Amazon jump to making it right!! I really enjoy working for this company.
The government needs to stop these billionaires from buying all of these companies.
Because I believe what's going to happen in the future. These big billionaires are going to start buying up everything until the point that they own everything. And then at some point, they'll try to create a private military and take over the country. It's just a matter of time.. People like
Bezos and Musk.
You don't believe me?
Sit back and watch the fireworks.
OCCUPY THE 1% !!!
Why has the full video been deleted?
Seriously? Why The F*** would he make a movie about himself… ????? Sure he's a wealthy businessman…. But he's also a jerk, and everyone knows that from everyone who knows him… If this movie doesn't show he's a jerk whom nobody actually likes, it's a pile of nonsense thats untrue…. and if it does show he's a jerk whom nobody actually likes, it's a pointless movie that confirms what everyone already knows… Either way it's a pile of Shite, and a waste of time effort and money… so it's pointless to even consider wasting your time watching this nonsense.
America needed Amazon since all the jobs over the past 70 years have been sent to china and Mexico. If Americans didn’t have Amazon to work at then this country’s unemployment numbers would be even higher!! At least Americans have a an opportunity to work !! Bring all the jobs back from over seas!! I think Amazon offers a lot to their employees! Medical, dental, paid days off !! Retirement options and a fair wage!!’
This trailer does a really good job of villianizing Jeff Bezos and making it really seem so hypnotizing towards everyone into thinking Amazon was a one man job. Nice, screw Bezos
WAIT! …. PBS did a segment that WASNT political and anti-Trump??? Wow, good job!
We must abolish Corporate Capitalism now!
"The internet is disrupting every media industry, people can complain but complaining is not a strategy" —-Jeff Bezos
I will not be kind anymore
The easiest way to give a big f you to a company is simply not BUYING from them !! Not writing op Ed pieces to these news sites . People forget how much power that they have as CONSUMERS
Great work as always from Frontline. Amazon is a horrendous company. Bezos is a toadstool. They treat their employees like garbage. I'd never purchase anything from them. I'll probably get sued now. I think I hear helicopters.
They were doing well, but they allow dirt to mess it up. They give job but competitive ness has destroyed it's value
Amazon now United States he put down small businesses look at the mall is most of them are closed right now I miss all those good days this is a monopoly
If we truly want to save America we need to stop buying from online stores , stop buying Chinese made crap. Start buying American made where people actually gave a shit about quality.
And start thinking about the America you want to leave for future generations! 🇺🇸
Amazon Unfulfilled
Their evil
Is this guy giving back? Somebody could do a lot of good with that amount of money.
AOC and Comrade Bernie will destroy you, Jeff. There's no place in Socialist America for rich people.
What happened to the video? It says it’s not available…
Geeze the music is a bit intense.
BoycottAmazon!
