Here Shav suggests that employees of businesses decide how much their bonuses should be. Assume, it you will, the pandemonium, and how would upend the businesses into something else. (maybe it is the 'something else' that you actually desire, (you little Mamdanis you!!)
Here are Factoids on Amazon and Fedex serving the world. I would leave them alone, and recognize that the shareholders (you and me) .enjoy their successes. We prob can let its founders enjoy theirs, too?
As of early 2025, Amazon employs approximately 1.56 million people worldwide. This number includes both full-time and part-time employees. The majority of Amazon's workforce, around 1.1 million, is based in the United States.
FedEx employs over 500,000 people across more than 5,000 facilities. This includes employees in various business segments like FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, and FedEx Services.
So, everyone happy in the USA. Employees, where would they be without these great companies? Shareholders re-invest dividends and the USA just grows and grows and grows, having 38% of the global wealth. IS THAT waht upsets you fellers? You can always bake your own pie. Or walk into those corporate offices and give them hell!!!! (emoji here).

@AverageJoe1 saidYour post is the OP of this thread, dingus.
Yes, of course. But I am simply responding to a question by another poster on the Forum. His question involves payment of bonuses, which, is money. The question appears just before my answer to him.

Health is required to sustain life, reached through food, shelter and a nurturing environment. It might surprise you to learn that for millenia money played little or no part in the lives of the vast majority of people.
@beardmusic saidBarter and exchange were the rule. I will give you 2 chickens if you fix my hot tub. Since we can all agree that a medium of exchange had to eventually replace cumbersome bartering with something (Zelle, Apple Pay, pay pal), we found money to be a workable tool, a method of measure.

So, Suzianne, I guess we leave you to your wits as you endeavor to subsist among those of us who keep up and COMPETE (y’all hate that word, …me, I am an Ayn Rand guy).
@Suzianne saidSee the opening line of myOP, that vile-mouth Shavixmir dared to take on AvJoe by suggesting you should go to your employer and tell him how much bonus he should pay you. He might not like you, it would give him reason to Un-employ you.
Your post is the OP of this thread, dingus.
Or, do you think Shav has thought it through now, that maybe it would not be a good idea. You see, if all employees did that, and President Shavixmir forbade firing, the company would bankrupt…….no more jobs.
@AverageJoe1 saidAnother reason you disgust me.

a nurturing environment plays no part.
always been bartering...what was the life expectancy of the period you reference?
@Suzianne saidcorrection: anything more important than billionaires' money.
Is there ANYthing in your life that is more important than money?
he is not bezos and he never will be
he is just a dog, craving his owner's affection and just like a dog, guarding the owner's property for a chance at some scraps
@Mott-The-Hoople saidOh, God, another worshipper of Mammon.
Try getting some of that food and shelter without money 😂
