No, JEFF, not in my name!

Archive You're reading an older Hightower Lowdown article. Jim's still writing — twice a week on Substack.

Bezos constantly claims that his relentless push for an Amazonian remake of our economy and culture is all about helping consumers. Well, I’m a consumer–and he certainly doesn’t speak for me. How about you?

I oppose his exploitation of workers, his bullying of suppliers, his gaming of the tax laws, and his anti-competitive assaults on small businesses. As consumers, let’s tell Bezos to speak for himself and to cease using us as a front for his own disgraceful greed.
