Jeff Bezos wants to make your children greedy monster gremlins

Am I reading this wrong?

I’m taking this as “the children are customers” and the employees of the school are taking the “customers satisfaction at top priority” approach…

That’s exactly what he meant, these people are just being whiny brats because they can’t stand it when someone they don’t like has a good idea.

That said. I don’t like the idea because imagine teachers being treated the way Amazon employees are.

hey default icon, just want you to know, “these people” are all pretty much reacting to the way he said he wants it to adopt Amazon’s principles. Please, instead of sucking the Cheeto dust from your fingers to type another response, shut up.

I mean, I also think that “the children are the customers” is a pretty bad idea because a) there are already enough customers who act like they’re 5 and spoilt and will scream at retail staff over tiny things, and b) “the customer is always right” and “the children are the customers” of the school does not seem ideal for the purposes of increasing the education level of the students…

I just realized that Clark Kent probably works at the Daily Planet because it means he and his super-senses are planted right in the middle of a bunch of investigative journalists all day long. He probably knows more about Metropolis’ corruption and abuses of power than anyone else in the world, just by virtue of existing in the Daily Planet’s vicinity. 

I imagine also that he works there for the reverse reason.
Think about all the things he knows about the people in positions of power in the city that Really Should be made known to the public, but he can’t figure out a way to legitimately excuse having that knowledge?
Well, all he has to do is drop a hint of a thread in the lap of someone like Lois Lane and his coworkers and friends will be on it like bloodhounds, with a firm air of legitimacy that he himself would never, ever have. Because honestly? Clark Kent probably knows that “I heard about it with my magic alien hearing” isn’t and SHOULDN’T be admissible in a court of law or public opinion. But aiming some good old fashioned investigative journalists in the most competitive news organisation in the city at it? Perfectly legitimate.

Villain: “Hah! What are you going to do, punch me for tax evasion? Lock me up for conspiracy? With what court-admissible evidence? Admit it Superman, there’s nothing you can do here.”

Superman: “Guess not.” 

Later, Clark Kent at the Daily Planet watching his colleagues work: “My god, they’re like bureaucratic piranhas. They went through his entire IRS filings for the last eight quarters in thirty minutes flat.” 

You know this got me thinking, what is Clark’s news articles like? Did he ever win a Pulitzer Prize like Lois? Is he a good writer?

Clark is an editor, he’s Lois’s editor. He’s the best editor because no one can proof read and spell check as fast as him. The few times he’s gone out on a story is because the Daily Planet was spread thin or short staffed.
