I think the point is to illustrate the scale of the insanity. Bezo’s wealth increases $55k every minute. There’s 525600 minutes in a year. Bezos makes every two minutes the same as the average US household makes in a whole year. Bezos extracts the equivalent of a quarter million people of labor every year. Jeff Bezos does not make the same work as a quarter million people. Yet it ends in his pockets.
