It's revealing that in your stripped down little illustration it's just me and bezos. Bezos all alone, no one to help him, I just give him, personally, the money for the things I want.

In my understanding labor is the resource billionaires extract their wealth from, worker exploitation is the mechanism they use to do it. Between the two of us I don't think I'm missing the point here. I've seen your point before but it's a red herring. Allowing power to accrue so dramatically to individuals is the problem, not whose micro-decisions allow them to claim a sliver more of it.

Bezos wasn't holding guns to the heads of Amazon employees. To the contrary. The existence of Amazon created more demand for workers which resulted in more options for them, as well as better pay and working conditions.

Where do you get your worker exploitation from? That is absolute nonsense.
