Jeff, this distinction between your property and mine is debilitating. As your customer when I'm happy it makes you happy and I can 100% guarantee there is nothing you can do that would make me happier than to donate your entire wealth to me thereby sharing the decisions you make exercising the power that comes with it.
Every single dollar you keep is a a dollar I don't get. Just as every single goddamn second your employees spend doing work stuff (including commuting) is a second they cannot spend with their families, pursuing hobbies, relaxing and living their lives.
It's a zero sum. Fk you very much for suggesting that spending time at work is comparable in any way to spending time with your children.

The question isn't whether Bezos has talent. The question is how many people on the planet of 7 billion with his luck would have come out equivalent. Not all, no sir, not all. But when I think about him that way, he's not a philosopher he's just another arsehole who believes his bankbalance is relative measure of his worth as a human. Cross the road to avoid such people. Don't work for them.
