    Don’t get me wrong (you and the other 2 downvoters) I think bezos deserves way more than hell; but if it’s just a lemonade stand, that, by the meme that I was jokingly criticizing, is still buying stuff in bulk and selling it for a profit. Is it morally bankrupt (intended) to have a family buisness?

      Not under the current systems, exploitation is built in, no way to avoid it if you directly engage by starting a business. You’re missing the point though, this meme is about scalpers, people who buy as much as possible of a high demand item to sell it higher than its legitimate market value. When the profit off the product exceeds costs to provide the product you’re exploiting people and scapers attempt to maximize that exploitation.

        I agree on scalpers, i like my electronics cheap. The meme was quite not clear though. I thought it was about sellers and resellers in general.
