"For some workers at the warehouse, like Mr. Brooks, the minimum wage of $15 an hour is more than they made in previous jobs and provided a powerful incentive to side with the company. Amazon’s health insurance... also encouraged loyalty, workers said." https://t.co/vt2Le1BSPb

In his final CEO letter, Jeff Bezos echoes @timoreilly's famous line that you should "create more value than you capture". Tim, what do you think of "consume" vs "capture"? https://t.co/oZ8U1trMXq pic.twitter.com/IHA0918RhY
