yeah that's a portion of my understanding, in crude and amusing terms

it's simply the reality on the ground. The world looks different when you have money. We all like to think that if we were the CEO of Amazon that we would create much better working conditions for Amazonians.

But if you were to sit behind Jeff Bezo's desk, and were dealing with the things he deals with, you would 99% of the time make very similar decisions.

Greed is only a small factor there.

So your claim hinges on a theory that there are many out there in their daily life who make the same types of decisions that Bezos makes. The only difference being the impact he has is much greater.
