Jeff Bezos, Is he problematic?
There are more sides, I take a wider view and have my own bias.

As a reader of rare books, I'd have to either go into central London to try to buy, or make 2 visits to a local book store to order then collect... Before Amazon arrived, local book stores did nothing to satisfy customers, yet they started whining when it came back to bite them on the arse. Why do I have to care about book stores anyway? I don't. Amazon brings it to my door within 24 hours at a cheaper price 🤷‍♂️

Regarding the story about workers, I'd assume there's more to that story and it's not commonplace - how desperate for a job must an employee be to act in that way? And what does it say about their state of mind?

In every business you'll hear complaints from people who got no raise and don't find it to their liking, it happens - if you sympathise with all you'd have to boycott every business in the world.

Edit... and writers/authors/publishers have all done better since Amazon.

it s the same in france, media are doing the same crap job
I'm a fan of Kevin Spacey. The BBC hates being proved wrong, so when he was cleared... he got no mainstream media coverage. At all. No mention of false accusations, and it cost him a lot. I walked by someone I thought looked just like him after it was over, but didn't want to bother him. I wish I'd told him I was a fan, his role in American Beauty is one of my all time heroes, along with Lee Sun-kyun in My Mister.

Amazing drama, it kind of reminded me of Ghost of Christmas Past. It gives a moral and teaches lots of things.…
A Christmas Carol, same here!

Since you used caps - CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE SOURCES for your statement that "IT IS A FACT that he actively supported…
Yeah, I didn't read most of that. Mark it as spoiler if you're going to take up the whole fucking page. I reached the part where you say you're not a woman. So you're a virtue signalling male feminist... you should be ashamed of yourself. 🤢
You're full of yourself. I.e. full of shit.
