I would like to see the Jeff Bazos house that's unsafe and unsanitary.

At this point, most of them don't care about much of anything except making more money.
the3truth4
Serious question, if they are taking care of his house how are the working conditions unsanitary?
msdss
Question.. Where the fuck is Jeff Bezos' house keeper working, where it is unsafe and unsanitary??? His house a meth lab?
Howmuchistoomuchspam
I imagine the only way he sleeps at night is he is delusional about the “vale” he “created” or he is literally Lex Luthor.
The guy DCEU can’t seem to make as good as real life. Come on DC it is fucking topical. Do like SVU.
neos501
He looks exactly like Lex Luthor, he acts exactly like him too.
LucidPariah
No, Lex was a freaking genius scientist and was even the president of the USA just to piss off Superman! Bezos is just an asshole with money

The linked article doesn't make the lawsuit sound particularly well-founded. Other than the claim that some minion was maybe racist...
...the rest of the stuff just sounds like bog-standard housekeeping work.
rudiboy2000
Do you think he got that rich by being nice. Think again. The more he gets the more he wants. Couldn’t even spend it all in 200 years.
TeelMoobeel
Untrue, he could spend it all extremely fast, and save billions of lives.
Would like to think so. He could do so much instead he spunks it all on space travel which benefits no one but himself !!

As china’s productive capacity begins to collapse , I for one am going to enjoy watching this piece of shit lose billions

As long as there is one hungry or homeless person remaining on earth, billionaires should not be allowed to exist.

You can become millionaire being lucky and/or talented. Can. Not will. You can't be a billionaire without being a special kind of narcissist

Why wont we just stand up to these cocks, instead of being scared for our bank accounts....
We need to just get together as a country and bring them down...we gota stop shopping, working, supporting them..etc.
And they'll be hurt...America is so undivided that this will never happen...its sad...but the presidents democrat or republican has us...
So undivided that we dont realize it...america is a sad place today, sadly...i love this nation, i also want to save it. God bless america.

Breaking news: Rich guy doesn't have empathy for people he perceives as a subhuman lower-class. Later tonight: Rich guy wants more money.
svennisiggi
people he perceives as a subhuman lower-class. = Everyone.
Comet260
As much as I despise these oligarchs, I despise the people that simp for them even more.
KommSusserTod
They firmly believe that they own these people and these people should be kissing their ass.
CorGoBrrrr
Well you see, they were forced to give up their slaves about 160 years ago and, by golly, they just haven't felt good about it ever since.
Clockworkdancerobot
That's always the disconnect. They despise the poor, don't want to know or see them. If they engage they have to admit inherent problems.
That their profiteering to make a few dozen million here means outsource a plant, firing people, many lost homes, some homeless created.
LokiShinigami
If they despise poor people so much, maybe they could give them some money so they're not poor anymore
It's far easier to hold a fundraiser gala with a lot of other rich people, raising other people's money to put a bandaid on a bulletwound.

And a little later tonight: government gives rich guy more money.

I am still waiting for the trickle down…since the 90’s.
You didn't get the trickle down? It was wet and smelled vaguely of asparagus.
desolatorx
Other rich guys in Congress are more than happy to oblige.
palmo
*obscenely wealthy guy. Big difference between a rich person and Bezos/Musk/Waltons
Kittynomnoms
They don't have empathy, period. It's like a defining trait for rich people and conservatives. They don't give a shit about anything 1/2
until they can personally relate to it, and that's not empathy. That's sympathy. 2/2
alRakoun
News Flash: The Rich established the United States Government and own it to this day.
bippityboppitybuttsex
The only reason these people do not own other people is cuz they can't figure out how to do it legally... so they start companies.
aintnothinbutahounddog28
But they have figured it out. They but/invest in for profit prisons, take profits off the top, AND farm out their labor to them at almost no
cost, raking in huge profits, AND can label the products made in the USA, so get to charge double for even greater profits! This is all true
macgerdo
I would pay more if the product isn't made in the USA. But I'm also from germany, so...
Vallete
The color disparity is no joke either, (war on drugs) and you know they'd do the same w/abortion(white:just a mistake, girl OC:baby killer)
We need that big Wealth tax proposed a while back. Not income, but wealth. Every one of those dicks needs a haircut.
TripleDane
I agree in concept. But i Dont see it being a thing you can execute. money can be spread across legal entities to be to low for wealth tax
but i agree that taxes are currently not done the right society progressive way. it hurting low income ppl to much and letting rich people
pay to little
putcleverusernamehere
Fuck haircut. Shaved
MADchemEE
SecondSince
A haircut so short it pops off the top of their skull so we can investigate their sociopathic brains!
NaughtButOne
No investigation needed. We've understood that massive wealth breeds psychopathic behavior for a long time.
But it is also the other way around. And more data is always good. That it would simultaneously get rid of said sociopaths is a giant bonus!
georgedragonslayer
Not going to happen. The people that could do that are getting paid by the people that don't want that to happen.
SomeDetroitGuy
1% of everything over $1 billion. 5% of everything over $10 billion. 20% over $100 billion. Annually.
khora
Where’s the money going to come from? Who are they selling to?
Those percentages are way too low.
SavageDrums
100% of everything over $100M
counterintel
When you stand to lose billions, its easy to spend billions to prevent that from ever coming to fruition. The lobby payouts would be nuts.
If they spent billions, at least it would be moving in the economy, not sitting in some offshore account.
rcgom
a heavy, progressive wealth tax, with the rev. going to raise people out of poverty.
But here's the thing, needs to include redistribution to social programs. Otherwise, at best, it's just another shiny, overpriced tank
QuitLookinAtMineAim
Yeah like anything over say, 5 billion net worth or something silly. You can still be stupid rich, whatever, but then you gotta help people.
i totally agree. start it with say the the top .5 % so you could be in the '1%' and still not be touched by this.
We can work out the numbers, but beyond a certain point a bunch of it goes back to the society it was milked from
MasterKif
And education. Please, for fucks sake education.
i think that's integral to raising them out of poverty. & essential to the rest of our society: a high quality, free, public ed sys.
TheGreatSynan
Education has been cut for decades. The conservative push to take kids out of public school, charter schools...crash it then say it's broken
i read about a country where private schools are allowed but they can't charge tuition, i like that idea
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
That's effectively how private healthcare works in Canada, for things that the govt plan covers. You can charge, but only for the amount /1
