I don't get what is so depressing from the article? Because the rich can afford it, and the poor can't? How do they imagine it should work instead?

- nyghtly 5y agoIt's depressing to watch as the unaccountable ruling class wastes all of our money on pipe-dreams and vanity projects. Meanwhile, the world is on fire. And what do I mean by "our money"? This is what I mean: 'Included in the many people that Bezos thanked Tuesday was “every Amazon employee and every Amazon customer. Because you guys paid for all this.” Bezos has said he finances the rocket company by selling $1 billion in Amazon stock each year.' The fact that Blue Origin exists in the first place is evidence of the insane levels of wealth inequality that now exist in our society. At this point, everything that Bezos does is an affront to our sensibilities. The King is riding on roller coasters while his serfs are peeing in bottles. https://apnews.com/article/jeff-bezos-space-e0afeaa813ff0bdf23c37fe16fd34265 https://apnews.com/article/jeff-bezos-space-e0afeaa813ff0bdf...
