I remember seeing Jeff Bezos trash someone on Twitter for saying harsh things about Queen Elizabeth II as she was dying. It was like he had a sudden realization that people are going to post about him when he dies, and maybe not solely respectful things.

People already don't post respectful thing about him while he's alive.

  I fully support these people. The meat grinder he has created is not worth the slight convenience afforded by Amazon. Bezos will be considered a robber baron by historians, rightfully so.

      Them too. And the gates, and Musk, and all the billionaires are robber barons. Got a point or is this whataboutism?

        Yes. Do you know the definition of robber Barron? >a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices (originally with reference to prominent US businessmen in the late 19th century). Deriving profit from unethical behavior of others is as bad as doing it yourself, but all of these people act like shit pretty regularly, despite their professional reputation managers, handlers, security, and legal teams begging them to behave. Have you heard of child slavery? Jordan and lebron support that by putting their name on athletic wear. Have you seen Jay zs or dres rap sheet and allegations? You want guys like that to have billions to use unchecked? Seriously? You want poor kids looking up to gang bangers with violent crime records as an example of what is acceptable? It’s not like these people have redemption arcs, naw, just more of the same with their vast wealth paving over their misbehavior. Same as every other billionaire. Have you seen ye’s meltdowns? Dude has too much damn money. Did you read Perry’s wiki? Union busting is a classic. I’d dig for more but that’s enough in my book. He’s pulling up the ladder and exerting his power because he can. Oprah? Have you even watched her show? Seen the shit she spouts under the color of science? Give me a break and get better examples. Perhaps the best example, who you didn’t mention, is Notch, but selling to Microsoft is tacit approval and support of their operations. They’re all robber barons. Billionaires should not exist.

        Oh but I did. People you don't like and can find fault with. They’re all robber barons. Billionaires should not exist.
