Amazon makes it easier to get what we need, and helps humanity. It does it while making a profit. Most companies make our lives better, and make a profit doing it.

LOL. Go tell that to people who work there like slaves or all the small family shops Amazon has wiped out. You getting crap you actually don't need really fast is NOT helping humanity

You mean the people working for pay? Hardly slaves at all. You insult those who went through slavery to pretend wage labour is slavery. Small stores suck. It is good to see them go.

the people choosing to work there?

You think it's their dream job? Wage slaves. Stuck with a shitty job they cant quit or end up on the street. Bezos PR stunt, few zillion for the poor but no better pay for employees.

It doesn't matter who the money goes to (employees or charity) people would still complain. http://fortune.com/2018/01/18/apple-google-bus-attacks/

I didnt say it was a dream job. I said they chose to work there for some reason. Actions speak louder than words.

That's right, if companies don't provide value the don't exist.

"For profit" in a mixed market like ours doesn't necessarily mean "for profit" the way you might think, perhaps...

The point is that they provide you value while exploiting others. You support exploiting others when you support them. The argument is against value based on exploitation. Idiot.
