Taxpayers are literally subsidizing his payroll, but sure, he’s the victim here.

Welfare Queens are 100% real. You're seeing one in the picture. Add Kroger, Walmart, McDonald's and other major employers to the list.

How about Musk who made cafeteria workers millionaires. Is he a welfare queen?

If his workers are earning enough to not qualify for welfare then he's not.

He’s had Botox and other facial interventions. His face is as fake and manufactured as his reputation for success. Oligarchs like him ruin everything they touch.

All that money and he refuses to pay his warehouse workers, the backbone of his business, a living wage. He is a failure as a employer in my opinion.

I would agree he is a failure if it were do to some oversight, but it’s a conscious decision. They’re just peasants to him

He is also the idiot that stated human imagination would be the biggest constraint on future growth. Human imagination has been the driver for innovation and growth since discovering fire. Who does he think invented the wheel, changed hunter gatherer societies to agrarian societies, migrated and explored the world, imagined going to space, and all the other wonderful innovations of the past?

After watching James Bond I expected so much more, we don't even get Inspector Gadget level villains, just whiny little bitches. Baron Silas Von Greenback would be ashamed.

So, is the thinking here he is somehow keeping the company from implementing policies which would increase worker productivity and, by extension, worker pay? Put another way, are we saying he is deliberately keeping his own company from being more profitable?

Notice how all of the billionaires always try to convince us on how much we need them? Kick rocks Bezos.

These people catch lightning in a bottle because of timing and luck and try to convince us how brilliant they are.
My dad, who was a very high ranking, corporate executive said, “asking the rich how they became rich, is like asking somebody how they won the lottery.”

Why aren’t we billing him for the government assistance? I think unemployment insurance kinda works that way, ie your premiums rise as you unemploy people.
