Amazon worker’s median pay in 2017: $28,446

Thinks what's normal exactly? That not all of his employees get paid an equal amount? I'm inclined to agree that he thinks that's normal, yes. Given that it's true at almost every company in the world, that seems like a reasonable position.

This means a very sizable percentage of Amazon's workforce (though not quite half) could qualify for SNAP.

>> Amazon Chief Executive Jeff Bezos received $1,681,840 in compensation in 2017, the proxy statement said, $1.6 million of which represents the cost of providing his security.

Is that pretty typical for a person who is say, in the richest 5-100 people in the world to spend on security? What kind of protection does that buy?

I’m pretty sure it was about the amount paid not that not everybody is paid the same.
