Page doesn’t load for me. Can anyone summarize?


Basically Amazon is a symptom of global wealth inequality. He’s making the point that no company the size of Amazon, and no person as rich as Bezos, should exist.

The bulk of the article laments the reality that the media, writ large, wants to report on “Tim vs Jeff”, not on “wealth inequality is out of control and we need to at least break up tech darlings, maybe much more.”


Basically it's a reaction to an NY Times article (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/22/technology/amazon-critic-...) that (according to Tim) misleads the reader into thinking he's "anti Amazon".

In the "reply" for Tim he states both positive and negative things about Amazon. However his main issue is with the monopoly of big tech-giants.
