Well, sadly yes. Amazon is a horrible company (https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2020/feb/05/amazon-wo...) in many ways. Yet the stock has made Jeff Bezos a bizzilionaire.

I have no plans to ever work for Amazon even as a software developer - but I wish I had bought the stock.

I held Wells Fargo for awhile - specifically because they bragged about how good they are about extracting fees from customers. I would never bank with them, I use credit unions exclusively.

With the Trump deregulation mania encouraging stuff like this (https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/07/us/florida-weed-killer-sprayi...) I will need lots of money to escape as a climate refugee.
