More layoffs, more profits.

The full 30,000 jobs would represent a small portion of Amazon’s 1.58 million employees, but nearly 10% of the firm’s corporate workforce. The majority of Amazon’s workers are in fulfillment centers and warehouses.

It would be the largest layoff in Amazon’s three-decade history. The company trimmed about 27,000 jobs in 2022.

    Amazon’s 1.58 million employees

    No company should be able to have more than, say, 10.000 employees. After that, you’re too big to fail. Companies need hard caps on how large they can grow, both in number of employees, as well as in net worth. A y income it makes over that hard cap should go 100% to taxes.

    Same for humans. We need hard caps on how much a single human being can own, be worth. No person should have a networth over 1 million dollars. Any income over that goes 100% to taxes

    Two simple rules that will change the world. We can keep capitalism, all fine, just cap how much a human being can have as a net worth

      Don’t you worry, they will make a hard cap for you and me, but politicians, billionaires, CEO, etc. will be excluded from that… People just need to watch all the anti-humans participating and speaking at the World economic forum, which is unofficial world changing platform that nobody had elected to do so, just because they are rich and powerful. Those anti-humans need to be separated from their heads.
