Amazon on top

Amazon has taken its rightful place as the latest in a long line of villains. When I was growing up it was ATnT, which was this big company that was ripping off the consumer. They were later replaced by Microsoft and then it was Walmart's turn. Amazon is in a double bind. They are moving out of Seattle and the city is fine with that. Amazon pays such high salaries to their techies that the cost of housing has risen to the point where the average person cannot buy a home. Their new home will be Bellevue just across the lake from Seattle. The Bellevue mayor is welcoming the company with open arms. Meanwhile lower paid employees who are now getting the long desired $15 per hour are going on strike for better working conditions while Trump has expressed displeasure with the company. Welcome to the top Amazon.
