Always a great read...one of my favorite excerpts this year.... “Third-party sellers are kicking our first party butt. Badly.” And BTW thousands of people working hard everyday to make sure that continues! https://t.co/kix4CXlBJl

Bezos seems to like start his long form writing with “Here’s something unusual”. This letter uses the same opening setup almost down to the exact word as his Medium post. https://t.co/cBhAG0aFPk

$AMZN 2018 58% ... This 58% of unit volume is booked at 10 to 16% commission to top line. Using GMV as valuation and Platform Power metrics and growth, Amazon is grossly undervalued. https://t.co/xKwIMyTgtB

"Today I challenge our top retail competitors (you know who you are!) to match our employee benefits and our $15 minimum wage. Do it! Better yet, go to $16 and throw the gauntlet back at us. It’s a kind of competition that will benefit everyone." - @JeffBezos $AMZN https://t.co/s3kIUZqZFV

Hey retail competitors out there (you know who you are ?) how about paying your taxes? https://t.co/Rmh3VZOHsG @JeffBezos

While I appreciate the ink dedicated to @ebay from the ceo of the company not focused on competition, think I”ll dedicate my letter to customers, purpose and strategy. We don’t compete with our sellers. We don’t bundle endless services to create barriers to competition.

*highlights small biz sales to show amazon’s brands don’t kill sellers
*highlighting market share to show not a monopoly
*surprised he refers to echo as “always-on”
*Amazon reveals gross merchandise volume 1st time?
*not as interesting as past years. Distracted? https://t.co/Viw8X05KkD

That so many retailers have voluntarily raised their minimum wages to $15 is proof of Fight for 15’s success https://t.co/bW5IVaQN2p

Amazon CEO and founder Jeff Bezos challenged his retail competitors to start a price war on the minimum wage they pay their employees (the company moved to $15/hour at the end of last year). Is this a bold move or a PR stunt? https://t.co/gHY6p9D9bW

제프 베조스, 주주에게 보낸 연례서신에서 최소시급 $15로 경쟁 리테일스토어에 도전해. 아마존, 작년 말 미국 최소시급 $15 인상 발표. 그러나 일부는 다른 혜택과 주식옵션 취소로 실수령액 더 줄어. 한편 타겟 2020년 말까지 시급 $15로 인상, 월마트 $11로 아마존에 뒤져. https://t.co/L9F8IYFgVW

Sweeping the concurrent cut in incentive/stock pay under the rug and then going on a moral crusade to raise your rivals' costs is somewhere past chutzpah and approaching sleazy https://t.co/5RPyi0WXH5

이렇게 대기업 높은 분들끼리 트위터를 통해 공개적으로 ‘힙합 디스전’을 벌이면, 기업은 더 투명해지고, 최저임금은 오르고, 소비자의 선택지는 더 많아집니다.
