Jeff Bezos worth over $200 billion, do you think

[edhopper]

if he paid all his workers a living wage and was worth "only" $100 billion it would change one second of his life.
As compared to his workers making enough to get by.
To be clear, $16 / hour is not a living wage.

1. $239.4 Billion

4. Musk will very likely become a trillionaire.

For some reason I want to see him do it.

[edhopper]

7. Except the stock that wealth is based on

is overpriced 10 fold.

[Diraven]

18. There will probably be a bunch of trillionaires

When all the crypto bros exchange their pretend money for cash dollars in the upcoming "strategic cryptocurrency reserve" scheme.

[DENVERPOPS]

20. Or the new department

created for his two worthless sons to operate, (Which he has already done!!) will accumulate a ton of worthless Crypto Currency for daddy personally, then sell it in exchange for the gold in Fort Knox........

[LiberalArkie]

2. The poor guy, falling behind Musk. His country must do something to help him. Maybe eliminate his tax burden?

Anyone who could single handily eliminate all the local bookstores needs help. Doesn't he Mr Trump.

[rubbersole]

11. Reduce that whopping $750 a year bracket.

Job creators blue light tax special.

[LiberalArkie]

16. I like this guys response to Michael Dell.

17. Perfect summation of where we are today. Only thing I would add is that philanthropy is dead.

[Joinfortmill]

3. Tax these punks.

[Mike 03]

5. It's genuinely hard to understand this level of greed.

All most people want is basic comfort and the security of having some savings. Most people I know would be so happy with a couple of million drawing reasonable interest in a few funds and some AAA bonds.

People like Mike Bloomberg, Bill Gates and MacKenzie Scott I do understand and admire. They give most of their wealth away and care deeply about the planet and the fate of our species. (I'm watching them closely to see if any of them cave. I know Elon Musk wants to "investigate" MacKenzie Scott--the best known female philanthropist. Funny how he doesn't want to investigate Mike Bloomberg or any male philanthropists. Asshole!)

[DENVERPOPS]

21. I would love to see for starters,

all the millionaire and billionaire wives divorce their spouses, and take half of their wealth, and give it to the needy

[William769]

6. Yet I'm the one that gets lambasted for what I did concerning Amazon.

Jesus Christ! Talk about a fucking hypocrite.

[edhopper]

8. Huh?

I am not sure what you are saying?

[Initech]

9. I miss the days when these guys weren't legitimate threats to democracy.

Fuck Jeff Bezos, he can shove his precious billions where it don't shine.

[speak easy]

10. I believe Jeff and Elon should explore Mars together

in person.

[rubbersole]

13. I'd settle for making them work for 6 months at one of their base businesses.

And try to live on those wages.

[speak easy]

15. Now then,

no need to delve into the depths of science fiction

[rubbersole]

24. That does sound potentially ambulatory.

Think the 'camps' will provide free health care?

[madinmaryland]

22. I'd be fine with them going hunting with Dick Cheney.

[twodogsbarking]

12. Them that hold the gold make the rules. The rest of us watch.

[LittleGirl]

14. My sign would say

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH YET?

MUSK, BEZOS, ZUCK? DO YOU FREAKING HAVE ENOUGH MONEY YET.
It's time to share the wealth. Why can't you have something named after you?
Like the Healthcare we need.
Like a living wage we need.
Like affordable housing we need

Any one of those things could have your name for eternity on it. Put your money where your mouth is. That much wealth comes with responsibility to your community.




I know, I'm just a dreamer.

19. I've always thought he was worth-less.

[Buddyzbuddy]

23. Diaper Don could have charged the titans

at least 100 million each or even 1 billion each and still gone back for more. 1 million was a test. Now that he knows they'll take the knee he'll use them as his own little piggy banks. They think they got off cheap. Diaper boy has been playing this game his whole life. He wants it all. The US gov't. is now
his muscle. I apologize in advance for the crude street language but it's appropriate here. He's gonna "tap that a.."
He knows these guys are soft. His ego needs to be fed along with his greed. He might overplay his hand. They always have their little pet, assaulter of couches, waiting with 0 integrity, for the opportunity to take over. Who will be his Brutus? Or will it be a combination? They have the money but do they have the connections. What will their fight or flight reaction be? I think he will go to that well too many times.
