So according to R32, Jeff had a rocket shaped piñata party , where everyone had a huge bat, took a big swing , won prizes while the only ones who really got clobbered more than the piñata were the American tax payers.
Now that’s some true courage & civility. A tech billionaire’s version of his very own quinceañera party, on u$!
Why didn’t these men just fly up together all at once?
Also, what’s the point of this? Is this another version of the Chinese versus the Russians versus the United States Space race of the 60s.
Van Jones aside, I see zero value here. Three indulgent man with one known to have stashed his cash away with questionable people and yet all pay with our taxes.
How much are you guys making an hour right now? I’m about to temporarily take a job making something like 12/hour max in the state of Georgia because Governor Kemp cut off our unemployment early.
Ok. Great. But the reason he gave was that there are many high paying opportunities and everyone is hiring. Nah. Everyone is hiring and paying 17/hr for doing back breaking labor, or working on an office with professionals making 12/hourly.
Anywhere Bezos’ distribution centers show up, the wages hyper inflate at false and unsustainable levels.
For about 6- 24 months tops, Amazon shoes up and suddenly, TEMPORARY agencies spring open everywhere (owned by a Bezos holding company? Perhaps?) and everyone is making money, except they have zero insurance, job security and are rarely hired at Amazon because Amazon is not here to give Americans health insurance.
After the market is saturated a cost/profits are stabilized, you realize no one made much money and the competition closed because Amazon ate them up and the temp agencies control the true wages and local salaries and averages of the economy in small town, USA.
Formula as old as time to keep places like where I am, poor, or poorer than dirt.
All of the above stated, Bezos’ current iteration of Amazon as a digital POS , POP, straight to your door model, is also unsustainable and you needn’t an MBA to work out the particulars of why that is, with a pencil and some blank papers. Even with the focus of subsidization of the profit model for that particular sector with our tax dollars and the partial crippling of our current USPS which we ALSO already pay for, and which Amazon ALSO subcontracts on our tax dime, leaves the Prime Model profits as an eventual unsustainable profit model, because profits must be controlled either via paying more taxes or lower wages for those in local areas and due to the unfair competition Amazon requires to exist as a business, hyper-inflation is the end result.
He knows this. A max 30 year economic cycle is as long as that puppy goes.
30 years is an entire generation of gains for Bezos and measured LOSSES for any economy which hosts his primary, secondary and contracted distribution lines.
That’s math. That’s probable and I can figure that shit out without an MBA, his bean counters were way ahead of me.
Bezos is an unscrupulous capitalist (and there is no other kind of capitalist- just to be clear) in a free market for very few, made possible by tax payers who pay 3X the cost of his business model costs and are left without any generational wealth or even an opportunity to create it.
This is one of the reasons why I have no choice but to move back to LA. I cannot make money here, regardless of my intelligence or professional experience. So far I’ve been pretty courageous and civil about the whole fucking deal. Where’s my money? Where’s yours?
