Il n’a fallu qu’une nuit et $10,4 milliards rapport\u00e9s par ses avoirs en action d’Amazon <\/em>pour que Jeff Bezos atteigne $93,8 miliards et d\u00e9passe enfin Bill Gates de $5,1 milliards en position d'\u00a0\u00bbhomme le plus riche du monde\u00a0\u00bb. Pour un peu, au r\u00e9cit de cette nuit palpitante et des efforts incroyables ainsi d\u00e9ploy\u00e9s, l’\u00e9motion vous ferait venir quelques larmes \u00e0 vos yeux chastement ferm\u00e9s sur des r\u00eaveries \u00e0 propos de la charge incroyable pesant sur cette prsonnaliy\u00e9 (le Bezos).<\/p>\n<\/p>\n L’on sait bien que de telles occurrences, – une rentr\u00e9e d’argent bienvenue, – arrivent tous les jours dans la vie des 1%, sinon des 0,01% qui disposent \u00e0 peu pr\u00e8s de 50% \u00e0 60% de la richesse mondiale, – chiffres approximatifs de notre part, plut\u00f4t d’intuition que de raison, –, et qui en font certainement bon usage. Bezos est d’autant plus d\u00e9sign\u00e9 pour figurer en t\u00eate du peloton que, d’une part il est propri\u00e9taire du Washington Post <\/em>qu’il a rachet\u00e9 $600 millions et qui conduit avec brio le Russiagate<\/em><\/a>, que d’autre part il y a tout lieu de le consid\u00e9rer (Bezos) comme un op\u00e9rateur op\u00e9rationnel au nom de la CIA puisque ces $600 million de \u00ab\u00a0fraîche\u00a0\u00bb venaient directement d’un contrat pass\u00e9 par la CIA avec Amazon<\/em>. L’on a tout lieu de comprendre par cons\u00e9quent \u00e0 quoi servait ce contrat, et \u00e0 quoi il a servi effectivement, pour conclure que tout est dans l’ordre des choses.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Bezos fait partie de ces \u00ab\u00a0nouveaux riches\u00a0\u00bb qu’on d\u00e9signe comme des \u00ab\u00a0hyper-riches\u00a0\u00bb, fortunes faites dans le domaine hyper-hightech<\/em> des r\u00e9seaux ; il est d’une impeccable opinion sur les affaires du monde comme ses confr\u00e8res, c’est-\u00e0-dire globalistes, soci\u00e9tal-progressistes et ainsi de suite, et bien entendu collaborateurs infatigables de tous les clubs s\u00e9lects de \u00ab\u00a0D.C.-la-folle\u00a0\u00bb, – NSA, CIA, etc. Le reclassement est bienvenu, rel\u00e9guant un Bill Gates un peu fan\u00e9 et pas assez enthousiaste pour les valeurs de la postmodernit\u00e9, au rang de \u00ab\u00a0Poulidor des hyper-riches\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Comme on l’imagine ais\u00e9ment, WSWS.org<\/em>, \u00e0 qui nous empruntons ce texte, ne l’a pas rat\u00e9, Jeff Bezos, dans le genre venimeux et impr\u00e9cateur furieux. Nous esp\u00e9rons que le pr\u00e9sident Juncker, le pr\u00e9sident Tusk, tous de la brigade de t\u00eate de l’UE, et quelques autres pr\u00e9sidents des grands pays de la civilisation europ\u00e9enne et mill\u00e9naire, am\u00e9nageront leur temps de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 recevoir le Bezos pour lui remettre le Prix Schumann encore disponible, \u00e0 moins qu’on trouve un Prix Nobel disponible, – ou qu’on en cr\u00e9e un, une sorte de \u00ab\u00a0Prix Nobel du Simulacre et de l’Intelligence Artificielle\u00a0\u00bb. Rencontrer Bezos permet, pour ces excellences europ\u00e9ennes, de brûler les \u00e9tapes quant \u00e0 connaître les instructions exactes pour la suite.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Texte, donc, de WSWS.org<\/em>, le 30 octobre 2017<\/a> ; sous la plume de Evan Clarke. Titre raccourci pour des raisons techniques.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n __________________________<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n On Friday morning, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos awoke in one of his luxurious mansions nearly $7 billion richer, after Amazon stock rose more than 8 percent as a result of a strong third quarter earnings report released Thursday. Over the course of trading Friday, Amazon’s stock value continued to rise, finishing roughly 13 percent higher than the day before, propelling Bezos’ wealth by $10.4 billion and making him the world’s richest person. His net worth now stands at $93.8 billion, a solid $5.1 billion ahead of Bill Gates.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The grotesque enrichment of capitalists such as Bezos expresses the profoundly unequal character of the capitalist system. While Bezos \u00ab\u00a0earned\u00a0\u00bb nearly $7 billion practically in his sleep, tens of thousands of Amazon warehouse workers around the world assigned to graveyard shifts labored under sweatshop conditions, gearing up for the \u00ab\u00a0peak season\u00a0\u00bb of high volume sales during the upcoming holidays.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It would take the average Amazon warehouse worker in the US earning $12 per hour roughly 416,667 years to earn as much money as Bezos did in less than 24 hours. Or, to put if differently, Bezos reportedly made more money in a single day than his entire global warehouse workforce of over 300,000 employees earns in a year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In a rational society organized along socialist principles, the wealth funneled to Bezos would instead be put to use for the benefit of society as a whole. With $10.4 billion, clean water and sanitation could be provided to the entire world’s population, roughly 40 percent of which lacks access to these basic human necessities.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The real source of Bezos’ wealth stems from exploiting the labor of his workers, who are currently facing intense speed-up and exploitation as Amazon begins stocking up its warehouses prior to the Cyber Monday and Christmas holidays. The company is engaged in a hiring frenzy of thousands of part-time and temporary workers, many of whom will be fired around the start of the new year.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Workers that have spoken with the International Amazon Workers Voice<\/em>(IAWV) have shared stories of being worked beyond the point of physical exhaustion, with many reporting incidents of heat stroke and a range of muscle injuries occurring at their facilities. Two workers in the US were killed on the job<\/a> in September as a result of these speed-up policies.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Amazon’s stock—and thus Bezos’ net worth—rose in response to a third quarter earnings report that surpassed investors’ expectations. The company reported $43.7 billion in revenue, $1.6 billion more than analysts had predicted. They also posted earnings per share at 52 cents per share, much larger than the predicted 3 cents per share.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Revenue was 34 percent higher than the third quarter in 2016, as Amazon finalized its acquisition of Whole Foods in August and reported $1.3 billion in grocery sales from the company. Total North American sales were $25.4 billion, 35 percent greater than last year, while international sales grew 29 percent to $13.7 billion.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Another significant influence on Amazon’s soaring stock value has been its recent announcement of plans to build a second headquarters (HQ2) in North America. The company is being courted by 238 cities from across the US, Canada and Mexico, with incentives ranging from the quasi-illegal to grotesquely fawning. With every bid, city officials have offered the company immense tax breaks and government subsidies, and the lowest operational and labor costs possible, plainly demonstrating the subservience of the state to the interests of private profit.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n In a move to attract Amazon, the California state assembly recently introduced legislation that would grant the company $1 billion in tax breaks over the next decade. To lure the company to New Jersey, the state has offered $7 billion in potential credits against state and city taxes. Perhaps the most sycophantic bid came from the mayor of Stonecrest, an Atlanta suburb, who offered to create a new 345-acre enclave city called Amazon, where Bezos could rule as mayor for life!<\/p>\n<\/p>\ndde.org<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
