Bezos thinks that he rules the world. As the richest man in the world, he might think that is already the case. He hates (or worse) anyone who stands up to him. Bernie Sanders is on the side of the workers in Alabama therefore he is a person to be destroyed politically. The workers who want to unionize are a threat to him. His campaign to stop their voting is typical of a megalomaniac who desires total control and obedience from those in his employ. I avoid using Amazon a
Bezos knows that "too big to jail" has been government policy for decades: In the past, the FTC went after monopolistic practices but corporate mega-mergers have turned the USA into cluster-fuck of oligopolies, duopolies and (government-backed) monopolies that buy politicians, write laws and manufacture propaganda to control the voters.
But government directly and immediately working for the corporations is a small piece of the problem. The large piece is government refusing to punish corporations. That is government directly refusing to serve the people and, indirectly this time, aiding the greed of corporations.
As long as politics is limited to 2 parties with similar ideologies, corporations can buy both sides and ensure they are never punished. Voters have finally realized they need to get the corporate donations out of politics (eg. NRA) but there's a lot of donations and limited name and shame opportunities for the voters.
