Tesla is now most valuable auto maker in US

It treats its employees like shit, and bezos is one of the most vile people on the planet.

liberals claim every employer treats its employees like shit but always fail to open businesses that lure away the best employees by treating them liberally, perhaps because high wages lead to high prices.

Yeah, well in this case it's true.


"Amazon's dark side

Bezos has been crowned with numerous laurels, from “Person of the Year” to world's best living CEO. This May, however, he was awarded a less-coveted prize by the International Trade Union Confederation: “World's Worst Boss.”

Even high-rankers in the corporation’s hierarchy describe him as a cold, controlling, often vengeful man with little empathy for the people who work for him. But to witness the full Bezonian disregard for workers, one must look beyond the relative comfort of Amazon’s expansive headquarters and visit any of its 40-some “fulfillment centers” spread across the country. These are gated, guarded and secretive warehouses where most of the corporation’s 100,000 employees work. The warehouses are dehumanizing hives in which Bezos has produced his own sequel to Modern Times.

Consider the job of “picker.” In each warehouse, hundreds of them are simultaneously scrambling throughout a maze of shelves, grabbing products. Pickers must speed-walk on concrete an average of a dozen miles a day, for an Amazon warehouse is shockingly big—more than 16 football fields big, or eight city blocks—and pickers must constantly crisscross the expanse. There are miles of 7-foot-high shelves running along narrow aisles on each floor of three-story buildings, requiring pickers continuously to stoop down, crawl along and stretch up. They are directed by handheld computers to each target. Then they must scan the pick and put it on the right track of the 7 miles of conveyor belts running through the facility. Immediately after, they’re dispatched by computer to find the next product."

Tesla just became the most valuable carmaker in America


Some people are dragged into the future and some people drag all of humanity forward. Elon Musk has a gigantic rope and is pulling the world into the 22nd century.

Tesla was founded in 2003 and has already overtaken GM in the US and is close to overtaking Honda in the world. Next on to Toyota.

My stock portfolio is VERY happy.

I'm VERY happy as a two Tesla owner.

1) must be better jobs or people would not take them
2) if Nazi govt made him pay more he'd go bankrupt since he barely makes a profit
3) consumers love him for the great convenience, huge selection, and lower prices.

He says its most consumer oriented company in the world.
Imagine one country that was consumer oriented and one that was worker oriented. Can you tell us which one would have folks starving in the streets and which one would be rich?
