Bezos is one of the many investors that provided funding for it at the start, but he has a minority stake in the company. At one point he had one board representative, but now even that isn't the case any more. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 9 child comments replies: [–] ThanksObama@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (8 children) Close enough.

Leaving the economy is the point. This is the only way to stop feeding the beast at the individual level. Pay off any debts and don't participate as much as possible. No person needs to shop at Amazon or anywhere else controled by private equity and billionaires. Support you local farmers and businesses.
