California collected $26M in taxes every hour in 2023.

Neither of the parties here lack monetary resources.

Those tax dollars go back to California and country. Amazon does everything in its power to not pay taxes or help society. It really shows little Amazon is taxed at, if at all.
Amazon employs 1.1 million people in the US.

To me, that alone is definitely helping society.

What do you think happens to the revenue Amazon collects?
> not help society

Only if you ignore consumer surplus?
