I find is so fascinating that this guy would rather pointlessly launch rockets and blow them up instead of paying his wagies decent wages. lets say for example 41 dollars an hour he would only have to raise prices by like 6.8%
>>
>>62293128
Lol bump
>>
They are actually decent wages, you don't deserve 75th percentile wages for working in an amazon warehouse, I'm sorry

You’re not Jeff Bezos and he wouldn’t piss on you if you were on fire
You’re a pathetic low class person to the Epstein class and you’re a traitor to the rest of us
>>
>>62294864
Lol yes they do. No you not see how many employees they burn through . U make less than 41 so it would help you
>>
Amazon warehouses will be fully automated in a few more years. He doesn't need to retain his workers.
>>
>>62295284
How brainwashed do you have to be to support views that go against your own interest. It's amazing. Doesn't Amazon make like 6 figures a year in revenue per employee
>>
>>62293128
Wow another bezos thread about his rocket blowing up on the business & finance board. And its complaining about wages again lmao.
Tick tock tick tock less than 24 hours until Monday!

$41/hour is 64th percentile.

What would that accomplish in the world?

People become happy? What do rockets accomplish?

>People become happy?
Paying significantly above market rates is not how Amazon got successful.
>What do rockets accomplish?
If you believe it might one day be possible to have a Star Trek or rather The Expanse style colonization of space, you have to start somewhere.
Or do you want to wait until literally every problem on Earth is solved first?
>>
goyim in the real world
>>
>>62295474
now that they're successful, they can start paying decently? it's better than chasing some science fiction
>>
>>62295500
What you're talking about is not exciting or electrifying. It does not attract even more successful people who say "Let me in!". If you have a science fiction project, you get a lot of 130+ IQ engineers wanting to work on it. Success breeds more success. You bundle the best and brightest in the rocket company. And almost certainly one day you can monetize that, since you care about it "making sense". There absolutely will be gain of it in the future, just not now. Meanwhile, your better pay for lowly workers has no payoff profile. There is no future potential reward for it.
>>
>>62295512
you literally need science fiction amounts of energy/material to accomplish this. also it can never fail
>>
>>62295520
>energy/material
So Bezos' sci-fi dreams lead to there needing to be new gas or wind power plants needing to be constructed?
Giving blue collar workers jobs?
>>
>>62295520
Weird because there are multiple countries and companies competing to do it. I guess they all seemingly have science fiction levels of energy and materials. Or you are a dumb retard?
>>
>>62295532
so you really believe we will colonize mars and the moon?
>>
>>62293128
all wages are decent by definition
if a wage wasn't decent, it'd be refused, and therefore wouldn't be paid, and wouldn't be a wage

It’s crazy you blame one of the largest employers in the world for the cost of living crisis created by the governments and banks. Whatever you consider a “fair wage” today you’ll call unfair in three years. Also, remember poor in the US is middle class in the rest of the world.

how do you feel about this

doesn't include other types of compensation, im sure that's just a rounding error tho

lol this is supported by so many studies but whatever

I feel like the whole rockets' thing (for him and Elon) is just the physical manifestation of their defiance against paying decent wages. like even after I'd achieved success and scale I wanted, I'd still rather blow the surplus away with rockets then finally pay decent wages
>>
>>62295593
Women entering the workforce, offshoring, etc
>>
>>62295780
the rockets you can profit from. paying higher wages to factory slaves does nothing but increase inflation. competing firms will have to raise wages. real wages remain the same or fall due to inflation.
>>
how do you retards not realize that sats are a goldmine because of glowie government money? not even the satellite internet is a good investment. how many customers do they have compared to some random ISP?
the whole "travel to the moon" and "mars colony" talks are pure bullshit to make goyim forger about the huge subsidies.

That's when computers became capable. Ask AI why it's such a game changer.

Sorry to say but on the scale of "Tony Stark" vs "giving food stamps to groids", rocketry is clearly something that embodies one end of this spectrum better.

>>62293128
jewish exploitation makes wealth somehow
>>
>>62295538
the trick with "unskilled" labor is that if every place offers a mediocre wage, the wagies don't have much of a choice.
what are they gonna do? 98% of people can't make money without a job, so they have to accept it.
>>
If I had to live the goycattle wagie life of caring about wages, I don't think I could do it. I would rather be dead.
>>
>>62296172
you literally make less than 41. meaning you would benefit. are you that much of a hater
>>
>>62293128
If he raises wages his competitors will destroy him

his competitors are going to destroy him anyways, since they operate in countries where people will work for FAR less than amazon pays

meaning he's already paying far too much in wages, and will predictably be run out of business by companies that pay 1/1000th as much and don't hire americans.

lol all those companies dont have the infrastructure amazon built for 20+ years to make shipping fast
>>
>>62294864
But factory workers use to be able to buy a one and support a family. How come we must use accept a lower quality of ice as time goes on but the rich class continues to get richer? Seems like cuckholdry to me to accept such a state of affairs

and so far they've been literally using amazon's infrastructure.

History will record the acts of the pioneers of space travel and human interplanetary migration. History never has and never will give a shit about what a bunch of no-skill meathead laborers got paid.

And paying people more than they are worth in the labor market takes resources away from more productive endeavors.

its funny how, i don't know how to call it, naive some adults are, no wonder you aren't a businessman if you think raising salaries is ever a good thing for a business, i mean why is negotiation even a thing ir raising salaries was so easy
