      People really need to learn that you have almost infinite leverage and credit with net worth and wealth like Bezos. Man will never have to spend a cent of his own illiquid assets and will live like an emperor until he dies still.

      people need to learn that 99% of the populations health, education, freedom, and happiness is being actively sabotaged by 1% of the people. If that 1% was anyone but the rich and powerful, we’d have done something about it by now. You shilling for our continued subservience is pathetic.

        Facts before feelings. Many of the people here downvoting me genuinely think people like Bezos or Musk are just sitting in a pile of cash choosing to hoard money instead of helping the less fortunate.

        Also - you’re part of the 1%

          Musk managed to get his hands on $44 billion to buy twitter pretty easily. They may not be sitting on a literal pile of cash, but the ultra-wealthy can always get easy access to it.

          And Bezos had a take home amount of $4 billion in 2019, not his stock, his take home cash for one year. That’s an absurd amount of money.
