Everything I've read about Bezos indicates that he's a star-spangled asshole. All entrepreneurs have their quirks and well-mannered women rarely make history and all that but Bezos seems to be a special kind of jerk. That, combined with the fact that his grand innovation is "lower margins" makes me extremely bearish on Amazon. I'm hopeful Jet eats their goddamn lunch because the only thing protecting Amazon so far is that nobody else positioned themselves to survive as a profit-averse organization when it was possible to do so. Any organization that makes you cheer on Walmart is unabashedly evil.
