Today we had two hot topics, prisons and Jeff Bezos. These topics may at first seem totally unrelated, but they are strangely tied together by what we discussed two weeks ago, the Inequity in our society. Bezos is the epitome of the American Dream. Not only is he a multi-billionaire, he is highly respected. Everyone in our group had good things to say about him and is company, Amazon. Yet, most Americans are getting closer to the other end of the spectrum, the prisons, due to widening inequity gap.
Jeff Bezos became rich because of his savvy business sense. Maybe prisoners just need lesson in business. Not so. Here is a TED Talk that says that prisoners are already good at business, out of necessity.
