ROFL!!
So when 99% of the population is deciding between paying the rent/mortgage, putting food on the table or buying AMZN stock.. they should choose Amazon?..
WOW.. you really are that far out of touch with how broke the average person is..
99% of the population? Where, Nigeria?
In the USA, when the poor are deciding between paying the rent/mortgage, putting food on the table or keeping their $120/month cable bill and their $100/month mobile service and smart phone, they choose cable and mobile service with smart phone.
That money could instead go to a zero fee zero minimum, US stock market index fund at Fidelity. Gotta take responsibility for your life and for your future, and stop blaming Capitalism and the white devil.
