once beloved shopping malls that served as a community center for many, that have been destroyed. I won't be a hypocrite as like most everyone else, I'm stuck buying things frequently from Amazon because it is hard to find it locally or from another source and to be honest, my time counts too. But, I get very nostalgic for what has been lost. Gen Z probably has no memory of much lost to the mega corporatist, Jeff Bezos, to the Arkansas Walton's Wal-Mart metropolis, and a few others. But, I think the rest of us do.

sigh... The worst is knowing they made me (and nearly all of us), "part of the problem and their enablers."

These scumbags just take and take and take and they never give anything back. And now they're responsible for the most vile, destructive, toxic administration in US history. Hey rest of the US, wake up - it's not the "illegal immigrants" that are destroying America, it's the billionaires!

He should be more worried about torches, pitchforks, and scaffolds with guillotines on them!!

Get that gnome face?

to my hometown newspaper, the Washington Post.

Much like the Bill Clinton claim about job creation over the last 45 years. Use numbers, let people fact check because they are true.

The average American makes about 75k (damn close to what Bezos takes as salary, thus only paying SS and Medicare taxes on the salary of an average American) the average American spends just over $200 per day. (Seems likely when you factor in housing, car payment, food, utilities)

A billionaire (not many billions, just one) could spend 65k a day which would be equal to the average American spending $200.

Here is the kicker, that billionaire would be making 135k per day just at a 5% rate of return. Or basically the same amount per day as the average American makes in a year even with spending 65k each and every day. So a billionaire could spend 24 million a year, and still add 25.5 million to his wealth yearly, oh and it is basically tax free.

With Amazon using govt assistance for employees, infrastructure, etc, we are all basically subsidizing Bezos.

He may be lucky to keep his bald head on this shoulders.
