How little could Bezos have been paid before he would have done something less productive than founding and running Amazon instead? Maybe millions, at most. That's how much he has earned. He's been very lucky to have the right set

That's an artificial distinction. There is no sharp line between "punitive taxes" and just taxes.

I'm not saying Bezos didn't earn anything. But not billions.

Another article that neglects to mention that we had already decided to quit nuclear in 2002. But the corrupt government we had in 2010 reverted that. I'd also like to know what emissions spiked, considering our nuclear policies ultima

No, billionaires didn't earn their wealth. And paying your taxes is the bare minimum, it doesn't make you a hero.

It has and it's called taxation. And taxing people who have not earned their wealth, using inheritance taxes, is even better.

Serfs were often descended from freemen who had to sell their freedom. The lords did hoard land, but they did not necessarily take it by force. Usually they inherited it, or they bought it.

The author apparently wants to reduce their stress level by getting people to stop asking XY questions. They should become a Buddhist monk instead.

That does not make iOS apps and android apps substitutes for each other, which means they are different markets. You can use public transport instead of driving, still if only one company built cars it would be a monopoly.

Of course they would be pissed. You spammed something into the answer field that does not answer the question. Just write a comment instead.
