Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez once said. "No one ever makes a billion dollars. You take a billion dollars. Capitalist systems create billionaires by enabling the abuse of others. Jeff Bezos, for example, is known to place his Amazon workers in horrendous conditions in order to maximize their labor, even forcing individuals to skip bathroom breaks in order to keep their jobs. (11) Billionaires thrive off of the abuse of their workers. They do not make the products they sell themselves-rather, they oversee thousands of workers who create these products for them. In order to turn over a profit of a billion dollars, these workers are, more often than not, underpaid and subject to physical and other abuses. Billionaires make their money off the backs of novel immigrants, minority groups and those living in poverty who are desperate enough for a job that they will accept any pay or conditions if it means a stable wage. (12) Simultaneously, these billionaires save money by ignoring environmental needs, choosing to leave enormous carbon footprints rather than pay the price for renewable, clean energy and other environmentally friendly practices. Again, Amazon's Jeff Bezos knowingly emitted roughly 71.44 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2021-a powerful greenhouse gas that rapidly warms our planet, causing mass environmental disaster - in 2018 alone. This number is greater than the carbon footprint of many small countries, such as that of Switzerland. (13) The business models of many billionaires further relies on the concept of overconsumption. This entails lowering prices to increase purchasing demand. consequently manufacturing intentionally low-quality items for the appeal of cheapness. This culture of overconsumpt imposed by large, wealthy companies encourages consumers to buy and toss products to their delight, appealing to fast-fashion trends especially. (14) The resources required to make, package and ship these products all over the world increase as companies such as Amazon sell more and more. The cycle intensifies, repeats, and Jeff Bezos gains money while our climate crisis worsens
