amazon. do you feel amazon miss treats their workers? >> i can't speak about whether or not amazon miss treats workers but the conditions in my company are becoming more and more burden some as amazon increases the pressure of the operations. >> what does that mean, in your case, because we've heard from workers here who say they have to pack a lot of goods in 16 minutes but as a pilot what does that mean for you? >> that means we have a staffing problem with the contracts that we have today we can't recruit enough pilots to stock these airplanes and amazon has really ambitious growth plans, and just getting the airplanes staffed and crewed properly in order to serve amazon is becoming a problem. >> so they're asking a lot of you. i'm just wondering do you feel that you're being paid enough to meet those expectations? >> actually we're losing pilots because we're not paid enough. if you compare the jobs we do to a company like ups or fedex and amazon clearly put themselves into that segment,

as i said, amazon up $8.40 to $2,019. amazon not set to report earnings until later next week. can't wait to see that. let's get to citigroup. citigroup kicked off the big bank names, second quarter earnings season this morning before the bell. the bank reported better than expected earnings and revenue for last quarter. now, you can see the stock is responding at the moment positively, up higher, but there was some concern that the fact that it might have a little trouble with some of the margins and trading business might ding other banks. speaking of other banks, 25 other financial institutio, jpmorgan chase, goldman sachs, wells fargo, all set to report this week along with tech names like ibm, microsoft, and netflix. we're going to be sweating it out here on "the claman countdown" but 56 s&p 500 names are set to report this week. 80 s&p companies overall have warned, though, that their second quarter financial results will be weaker than initially expected. this is hitting companies from alphabet google and apple to pfizer and adobe, micron and netflix also on the list. wi

amazon is the enemy? before microsoft, before amazon, seattle in the '80s was a dying timber town. there was no wealth there at all. microsoft came, amazon came, they created the wealth. they created literally millions and millions of millionaires. now as you're seeing just in fact how mobile money is and the more difficulties administrators and bureaucrats make it to create jobs because seattle's minimum wage is just one example, more money not just leaves seattle but leaves america writ large. >> the positive is that the reporter said it only at the end, they are going to bellevue and will create a 40-story plus building over there. they are still focusing on washington area. to add to all of this, apple, just within the past two weeks, announce they hare doing this five-year expansion plan in the united states and specifically within seattle, i know it's not amazon, but apple announced they would be adding 2,000 jobs. hopefully that could offset some of the loss from amazon overall. i still think it's good. you have amazon investing in bellevue, they will build a light rail syst

amazon changed everything. they changed it for the better and the reason, they stayed on top, because they have been able to continue to innovate. ironically, that's a risk for the stock moving forward because in order to maintain that valuation, they have to keep innovating. that's one of the reasons you are seeing, for example, amazon now enter the real estate business. this is the number one risk for these companies moving forward. lack of innovation and even more acutely, government. i got microsoft from 1999 to 2016 under the antitrust activations from the federal government, the stock was stagnant. only a government can hurt a company like that. >> you love government, don't you? >> investors certainly don't. >> to add on to your point, if you are looking at the numbers, when you talk about amazon's web services, you saw deceleration, she made the comparison to microsoft and how much growth they had but microsoft also had some deceleration, too. overall, that is what drives a lot of the profits. there was

a house cleaning by amazon home services, again, i keep hearing amazon. what's the difference between something that realogy is doing there versus working with me, any other brokerage because at the end of the day, we can also give credit at closing and what i know buyers want is money in their pocket, not just an amazon gift card or smart home or anything else they could just buy on their own, at their own discretion. charles: that's why i did ask ryan if there were other aspects to this, perhaps some technology help, something else. listen, their stock has gone from $52 to $5 in the last six years. so we can see that there's something in that industry, something happening that's not right. it goes beyond the sagging housing market that we have seen although, you know, when it comes to housing, we are getting reports that more and more wealthy new yorkers continue this mass exodus, they are leaving and going down to your neck of the woods. >> yeah. let's also start by saying that foreign spending is down by 36% from last year. so florida's number one wit
