Yes. It's stunning!

Yes! My first thought (Sims)

Sliced bread is the best thing since Betty White!

My dad has a podcast and he did a whole segment on Betty White and sliced bread

She was, now she's gone. Rest in Peace!

Dutch jew. She is known for the "anne franck diaries", written during the hide from nazis. She is discovered and sent to deathcamp, where she dies at 15 yo.

Or alternatively she was a teenager writing (during a super extreme version of 'lockdown') about some feelings/hormones... no need to label everything. I suppose she's lost all rights to privacy.

No, it's spiral wing

The problem with comments about the net worth of someone like Bezos is that they forget these rich assholes don't care one jot about anyone but themselves.

Poor people are so devoted to defend rich scumbags that it's getting embarrassing. You obviously missed the news that Jeff Bezos pays next to nothing on taxes, but relays on taxes paid by poor people to fund the food stamps his employees need to feed their families.

I've posted before about how America's rich can't simply wave a magic wand and make say, African hunger go away, but actually, Taibhse is wrong here. Bezos doesn't need to liquidate Amazon to get real money; he only needs to sell it. The buyers need not liquidate it. And the act of dumping his stock on the market probably wouldn't kill its stock price, either, since it's not inflated by his ownership.

The bulk of his reported net worth is on paper, the current value of his stock in the company, and other investments.

He has more than enough money to do more, and be better, he simply chooses NOT to. Some of his wealth is tied up in assets, but not most of it. This isn't the case for all who have amassed this type of wealth, but it is for Bezos. He would not have to sell off or shut down anything to be better, do better and not hoard what wealth he does have "for a rainy day" while still being a shitty employer. Even his ex wife has the ability to do more and nearly all of her wealth actually is tied up in assets. He makes the conscious choice not to. If he had made that wealth of his own accord, people would feel differently, but he didn't, people helped him get there, he should give a damn about the people that did, and do.

His ex-wife has given nearly $10 billion to charity since their divorce, her wealth comes from Amazon stocks so it's clearly possible for Bezos to be giving away money. It's just that he's an a*****e.

Poor people simping for billionaires. Embarrassing.

Well why doesn't he? He ain't gonna worry about money if he did all that and still had a mere one billion left

ok

Should we pity Bezos then?

And who would he sell it to anyway?

1000% correct. The CEO of the company I work for is worth $100 million...as long as he is the CEO and has stock options and in the company. If he quits his job or sells the stock, he would only be worth the cash value of the stock on the day he sold it.

You are assuming that he would get the price he wanted for his assets. Yeah, good luck with that.

Also, it's not like he got that money for free. It's easy to tell someone to give their money. Why don't YOU (i mean you in general) give away your stuff first?

Astronauts. Astronauts could still go to space.

Or just got back from one.

You are hungry aren't you?
