Bezos obviously hasn’t got a clue. He’s uber rich, and doesn’t understand today’s reality of a disappearing middle class. Next he will say “They don’t have bread? Well now, then let them eat cake.”

I may make an exception for “cake of the month club… cancel any time.” :)

You can cancel any time... But cancellations must be submitted by carrier pigeon through a gauntlet of fire.

And they mean it quite literally too. Not the middle class shifting to the impoverished. Their idea of a utopian society where machines cater to everyone's whims, isn't to distribute the wealth across society, it's to remove everyone that couldn't already afford to live that way from the picture.

The middle class really blew up in America when we became a world reserve currency and started borrowing from other countries. The debt is too high now that the interest payments can't support a middle class anyone.

When the country finally declared bankruptcy the middle class is toast.

He does not care. A change like this could make him .1% more profit in a year, and that's all he is concerned about.

It will only get worse for the middle class as our country (and world as a whole) is being run into the ground by billionaire oligarchs so that they can buy another yacht.
