Even Business Insider reported in 2019 with a note of horror that: “Bezos’ rate is equivalent to US$149,353 a minute. To put things in perspective, Bezos makes more than three times what the median US worker makes in year — US$45,552, according to data by the Bureau of Labour Statistics — in one minute.” This level of entrenched inequality tells us something about how destructive and irrational capitalism is. Profits have subsequently soared for Big Tech, such as Amazon, amid the global pandemic and the deepest recession since World War II. Digital technology has a profound effect on workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
