Just wanted to throw down the reminder that health insurance companies, for a brief moment, didn't deny nearly as many claims.
Sometimes violence is the answer.
Unrelatable dickhead expresses an opinion, promptly ignored.
More like makes me fantasize about using his chrome dome to set an Amazon data center on fire like burning ants with a magnifying glass
Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.
The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I'd be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I'll just need you to hold him still while I work. It's a very precise process.
I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.
just make the light source more concave than his head is convex!
maybe. or just use a [REDACTED]
A high power laser? That feels like it might work. Perhaps we should start experimenting on Jeff Bezos's head to see what works best.
A high power something yeah
promptly ignored.
That's what the oligarchs want...
He has your money, and if you want it now vote JG Wentworth 2028.
Because unless we take our money back, they're just gonna fucking keep it.
Edit:
Because people might not know that commercial:

Point being that's the only thing we should say to oligarchs, if we say nothing they win
So every time you see a billionaire, say "bitch, where's my money".
Don't let them talk about anything besides they have our money.
We're past the point of redistribution. We need to take it out of their hides as well.
does anybody have any numbers on how many taxes he actually pays?
“The top 1% of taxpayers pay about 40% of all the tax revenue, and the bottom half pay 3%,” Bezos said. “I don’t think it should be 3%. I think it should be zero.”
“People sometimes say that, you know, I don’t pay taxes. Not true. I pay billions of dollars in taxes,”
“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”
WT-absolute-F? I think he got oxygen-deprived in space.
“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”
well, in the USA this is probably true, all the money would be diverted into more military spending or tax breaks for stupid filthy rich people
which is why we need tax money being spent on the communal level. not the federal level. it's the fed gov that spends it on the military, it's the municipality that spends it on schools.
Fair enough, LOL. Just love that it's "oh I pay TONS of taxes, but asking me to pay more in taxes won't help anything."
I completely removed myself from Amazon since a few years and I couldn't be happier. Everyone should do this.
Alex Jones lookin ass
Grew up wealthy, borrowed $250k ($550k in today's money) from his family to start Amazon, has so much money now that money has ceased to have meaning. This asshole has never lived a normal life and yet he thinks he knows what kind of problems people are facing today.
Damm we got slammed
BOMBSHELL reporting right there
CEO said a thing
Dude deserves the Mussolini treatment and nothing short of it.
Too humane. They should suffer for many, many years isolated in a filthy jail cell first
Fair enough.
Personally I think culling the entire Epstein class and dragging their corpses until every major cities' municipal boundary can be seen from space would send a more effective message.
Dip them in liquid nitrogen and christen their yachts before we scuttle them.
Hang them by their feet from a crane and see how many it takes to demolish a building.
(Gee I wonder why I got banned from reddit)
Fuck what he says, why the fuck does he look like the bastard child between Santa Claus and Lex Luthor?!
Yeah that's pretty much the trifecta of doing everything people hate.
