Them having few employees doesn’t prevent them from taking a 30% cut on all sales and making billions in profit and having a billionaire at their head, so are people expecting that if other companies were “trimming down some fat” it wouldn’t simply result in them making more profit because prices wouldn’t come down or something?

Someone’s upset that they’re following their own successful business model.
I get that people don’t like wealthy people regardless, but Gabe is probably one of the few that’s actually not bad.
I don’t know where this contractor bullshit is coming from; if anything that should be aimed at Microsoft.

There are no good billionaires, the reason they exist is because people like you and me are paying more for things than they’re truly worth, billionaires exist because of the surplus we pay.

There is no true worth, worth is defined by how much people are willing to spend on something, doesn’t matter how much something costs to produce and distribute
