Principles should be applied and defended regardless of reciprocation or personal gain.

indoctrination from living in a capitalist focused society, where we revere wealth and anyone who achieves it has done so through grit and/or innovation, while also reviling poverty, and see anyone suffering through it as some kinda failing on their part

---

They think they may become billionaires one day, too.

I just want to take this moment to give thanks to Jeff Bezos, the genius who thought of selling stuff to people over the internet. We havent seen such brilliance since Albert Einstein.

It's less simping, more calling out dumbasses on the internet.

He only donated 1% of his income!! Derp

Pretty much sums it up.

If somebody murdered a billionaire, I'd be upset. You don't murder people. Basic principles.

Then who should they be admiring random Gfaq user over the billionaires who helped provide them with valuable, high quality and convenient services, and goods at cheap and affordable prices?

What point? Compared to the goods and services they provide I couldnt care less about what they think or feel about me.

They're just truly pathetic people. They are well aware that people like Bezos have long since crossed the line from "just doing what's best for themselves," and are clearly outright evil. But they enjoy pretending not to understand why that's the case. That's because when they say "people only hate them because they're jealous," they think that elevates them above the ones their criticizing. But it actually takes them lower

i heard bezos stopped eating food in 2012 and now only eats babies, which everyone knows do NOT count as food

---

I was watching an older video about Kanye and Drakes beef yesterday and Kanye said something about "He's taking food out my kids mouth" and all I could think was "Does that still work when you have 100s of millions of dollars?". It's obviously just a way to be melodramatic and keep poor people feeding your machine and pitying you even though you could feed 500 starving villages (don't do the math please).

---

I would add that i dont expect poor folk to care about me either, but they also deserve fair treatment
---

because people want to believe they too are capable of fabulous wealth

They actually think they sound smart or sophisticated or something, "I know how the world works, I can be just like Jeff Bezos one day"

---

Because they provide the goods and services people want?

Is it that difficult? Lel

Might as well just constantly whine and cry at their success while not even attempting to stop using their goods or services lol

i'm about to throw my iphone down in disgust and destroy it to get back at these godforsaken billionaires and their evil ways

people don't realize how much a billion dollars actually is. if you made $50 million a year it'd still take you 3,000 years to get to Bezos' level of wealth

Oooh nooo, the depressed people living check to check and trying to figure out how to make sure their kids can get a decent education and don't end up sick without insurance don't have time to feel bad for you :(. I mean, they would if something dramatic actually happened to you or your family, but yeah, do you wonder why they wouldn't have time to care if your day isn't going perfect? The whole point is that the richer have resources and reach to actually do something if they care. But Im probably not even caring about your tax bracket. I more so mean the waaaay up there.

Except of you did make that much, you'd be investing it and making much more than $50 million a year. Being good with money is unfortunately something people don't realize.

They're still waiting for the trickle down

Just make sure that work isn't for Bezos. You'll probably end up dead from exhaustion and no breaks.

obviously you'd be investing it but the point of my post is to show the scale of Bezos' wealth.

Another fact people don't realize is that your $30k salary puts you at the top percent of the world.

People in 3rd world countries making a $1.50 a day won't ever catch up to you either.

Yeah, you can afford a new iPhone and rent maybe. you don't have to eat dirt every day like 99 percent of the world, so nothing is wrong with wealth and resource hoarding

Imagine not understanding inflation to this extreme. I'm an idiot and even I realize how stupid this argument is.

that's a pointless comparison unless America starts letting its citizens pay 3rd-world prices for housing/food/etc

See, you've got some pathetic people in this thread pretending that what Bezos does isn't evil

It's not their job or responsibility to care, or provide for anyone beyond the confines of their businesses. That's what the goverment is for. If you want improved education, healthcare, food, benefits or etc you complain to the goverment about it.

Because the rich have no hand in the government and vice versa. Good job. 2 completely separate entities with no ties. Big brain energy in this one.

They are not absolved of the evil (that is what it is, despite the trolling otherwise) that they do
