    If Kamala really wanted to get back at Bezos for this, the best thing she could do is promote union membership in tech and in the press.

    It has been Bezos’ kryptonite for years, and while I hold zero hope that unions will grow in popularity in the US, having a president push for them might be enough to make big businesses shut up.

      She shouldn’t be “getting back” at people. That’s Trump’s MO, and a major part of the reason that makes him so unsuited for the role. She should do what’s best for the country. So ultimately I agree she should be pushing for unions.

      Bezos is worth so much there is no hope of a single president reigning him in.

      It would require a group of countries all going at him at once. Otherwise we are not only stuck with Bezos for our whole life but his children and family will also be unstoppable.

      These men should be disrupted. The “move fast and break things” was their mantra. Now they demand nobody move and nothing changes including wealth vectors.
