Bezos is hoping that by paying a bit more to workers, he can avoid scrutiny of the massive monopoly power he exerts over the American political economy. It’s important he not be allowed to get away with it. If we want to govern ourselves, we have to stop thinking like #serfs and asking masters for better treatment. We must demand liberty, and that means more than $15/hour in wages from a monopolist.
