This poor guy doesn’t realize that the people he’s preaching to really don’t care. He’s called “crazy” and having a “nervous breakdown”, and they’re laughing at him.

Apple, Amazon downgraded ‘on moral and ethical grounds’

“One analyst blacklisted several companies on Monday, citing a reason not often (or possibly ever) heard on Wall Street—moral and ethical grounds.

“In the report, Ronnie Moas, Standpoint Research’s founder and director of research, downgraded Apple stock from a “hold” to a “sell,” reiterated a “sell” recommendation for amazon.com shares and initiated Philip Morris stock with a “sell” rating.

“I recently read something about Amazon and how much pressure is on their employees … and at the same time Jeff Bezos with his obscene net worth of $27 bln was on his yacht in the Galapagos Islands. $27 bln and this man is not treating his workers fairly? It boggles the mind,” Moas wrote.”

Regardless of the fact that Moas is actually talking about Apple contractors in China, using such facilities for the parts and labor that go into their products, Apple and any company that operates in a similar manner could actually afford to pay and treat workers much better than they do and still make huge profits.

After all, if it wasn’t about the bottom line and increasing both their company and personal wealth and rewarding investors, any company could treat workers with the dignity and respect all of us deserve.
