If I were making tons of cash on AI speculation I would say that, too. Doesn’t make it accurate. Facts tell a different story.
Mark my words, Jeff is positioning himself to eventually run for president.
He does check all the boxes for the American electorate
✅ Self interested - “A success story!”
✅ Blames poor people for their poverty - “Why don’t you just work harder?”
✅ Avoids paying taxes - “When I’m a billionaire, I won’t want to pay either!”
✅ Does not understand that revenue from tax dollars should be used to support social programs and government services that are not specifically profit generating (food programs, emergency preparedness, environmental conservation, mail to remote areas, etc) - “The government should be run like a business”
It’s the next cosplay for the billionaire class
Money hoarding worker abuser said what?
If you didn’t hear it’s in the headline (/j)
Make the guillotine great again
Imagine that! All the billionaires defending each other. Go figure!
It’s like they have some sort of solidarity. One based on their class. Seems like an idea that could greatly benefit them.
And yet they hate each other, because they covet each other’s wealth
They’re so envious, when they have no need to be
It’s an illness
The only cure is the guillotine
Shit. That’s brilliant. I wish it would work for the rest of us. If only we outnumbered them… Lol.
Hey, in civilised countries we look at the super-rich with contempt and disgust
We don’t aspire to be amongst their number like 'Muricans tend to
Yes. Lol. Not like anyone else will for much longer.
Being completely wrong on all topics is an accomplishment on its own.
What sorts of salads and sides would go well with him?
I’d feed him to my dog
But while he’s still alive
(my dog is about as harmless as it gets, he’s old, missing many teeth and just wants to sleep and cuddle, but still…)
I’d wager that Bezos tastes bitter, sour and otherwise unpleasant
Don’t do that to your poor dog. Let’s just treat Jeff like government cheese, stored in slices in a cave, because nobody wants to eat it.
It takes dedication and really going the extra mile to be so diabolically shitty.
its
Well what did you expect, him to come out and say “yes, billionaires are detrimental to society”?
The police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong.

Hey a rich out of touch asshole who has nothing in common with his fellow man has an opinion about something!
I bet he knows what he’s talking about!
Oh, so the cartoonishly evil CEO said the evil rogues gallery of CEOs isn’t evil? It’s also so funny how he could say “no, young worker’s jobs aren’t in that much danger.” Then mark fuckerberg goes on stage saying how many people he’s replaced with ai. Wholly shit its impossible.
Unrelatable dickhead expresses an opinion, promptly ignored.
More like makes me fantasize about using his chrome dome to set an Amazon data center on fire like burning ants with a magnifying glass
Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.
The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I’d be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I’ll just need you to hold him still while I work. It’s a very precise process.
I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.
just make the light source more concave than his head is convex!
maybe. or just use a [REDACTED]
A high power laser? That feels like it might work. Perhaps we should start experimenting on Jeff Bezos’s head to see what works best.
A high power something yeah
promptly ignored.
That’s what the oligarchs want…
He has your money, and if you want it now vote JG Wentworth 2028.
Because unless we take our money back, they’re just gonna fucking keep it.
Edit:
Because people might not know that commercial:

Point being that’s the only thing we should say to oligarchs, if we say nothing they win
So every time you see a billionaire, say “bitch, where’s my money”.
Don’t let them talk about anything besides they have our money.
We’re past the point of redistribution. We need to take it out of their hides as well.
Please nobody ignore him. Everyone needs to hear this -and be enraged.
Unsurprising reaction from a supervillain.
Maybe just villain. There’s really nothing super or special about the guy.
That mofo crushed physical retail almost completely, killed off a lot of malls and mom-and-pop stores and even Sears and JC Penney (coincidentally the pioneers of mail-order shopping). Nearly all websites are hosted on AWS servers. Owns UA/MGM and therefore has some ironic control of the James Bond films and franchise.
Nothing will change until they fear for their lives.
Just wanted to throw down the reminder that health insurance companies, for a brief moment, didn’t deny nearly as many claims.
Sometimes violence is the answer.
IMO capital punishment is only violence if it’s done to the working class. If a judge and jury, after due process, sentences a billionaire to death that is justice.
Fear isn’t enough. The whole billionaire class should be culled from society.
Nothing will change until we end their lives.

Strange how a man who stands to make billions more from this, thinks all those opposed to it are wrong.
Guessing it’s due to his vast and deep knowledge of the subject, after long and careful scientific and sociologic research.
Borrowed $250k ($550k in today’s money) from his family to start Amazon, has so much money now that money has ceased to have meaning. This asshole has never lived a normal life and yet he thinks he knows what kind of problems people are facing today.
Grew up wealthy, borrowed $250k ($550k in today’s money) from his family to start Amazon
That’s not a bad thing. Families should do it more often: pool their money and start a business. The return rates are higher.
They are absolutely not higher, for every Jeff Bozos there’s hundreds of John Does, who never made it.
The system is not your friend.
The system is not your friend.
But the corporations are, who take the saved money? They pay the bare minimum. The only way to beat the system is to make own decisions.
Statements like these always remind me of the quote: “For the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us to temporarily beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change. Racism and homophobia are real conditions of all our lives in this place and time. I urge each one of us here to reach down into that deep place of knowledge inside herself and touch that terror and loathing of any difference that lives here. See whose face it wears. Then the personal as the political can begin to illuminate all our choices.” - Audre Lorde
IMO using the system in a way that abuses the system only perpetuates another system of abuse.

What does that mean? I can read it in too many directions.

That’s what currently is happening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture
More competition is needed, more market economy, to make the system fair again. It’s not abusing the system to start a business.
No, it’s just using the system as it is intended. But most businesses fail.
We need to abolish the system.
But most businesses fail.
That’s ok. It’s possible to invest in more than one company.
We need to abolish the system.
And do what?
