Billionaire Jeff Bezos Set To Launch Into Space Aboard Blue Origin Rocket
Good, i hope he doesnt come back. we shouldnt let him land until he pays his taxes.
Facts
This is what playing no taxes get you. I’m all for a coup of every American stop playing taxes until billionaire start to pay their fair share. This totally sickening. Its nothing exciting about this story
@Tavon Bryant: If most people shared your sentiment, they wouldn’t use Amazon and Bezos would go under pretty quickly. But that’s not the case obviously. People LOVE Amazon and use it all the time. Sorry.
@Reason Says who? No one would have bought whatever it is they buy on Amazon’s platform if the platform didn’t exist? Get outta here. They have no unique product. The goods would still be sold and the government would still get their sales tax on those goods sold.
@Constituent A: Wrong. Amazon is a RETAIL company that is capable of delivering products to FAR MORE people worldwide than ay local retailer could achieve. They’re unique product isn’t a product at all….it’s a SERVICE. Amazon accounts for more than 7% of the retail sector in the U.S. alone. That’s 7% MORE products being able to reach a wider market thanks to Amazon.
If his space craft is as far off course as my packages he delivers… well…
Its for himself, so it’ll work just fine 🤩
I hope all the rocket components were bought from Amazon.
Funny
I wonder if he’ll bump into the Jupiter 2 or maybe an actual Battlestar that might be named Pegasus 🤣🚀🤣
Billionaire Space Race is on!!! Musk mini-me to fly next (Bezos)
Bezos to Branson: – My flight is longer than yours…..
Paid with the money that belongs to the poor who can’t even afford a roof over their heads because of the idiotic salary
Tourists in space. I’ll be impressed when there is a gift shop on the moon. And all these rich guys get hotels and casinos? “Welcome to Moonbase Zeta Casino sir, bounce this way. Would you like a Margarita or Martini in a sippy box?”
Any UAPs near the International border, take mr Bezos away and do you your experiments on him!
All this cash and won’t even pay their taxes
Yes but their tax evasion keeps the city of London in business
You forget tax haven management the city of londons main businesx
They pay their taxes, they aren’t tax evaders, like Trump. If you don’t like how little tax they pay, lobby to get tax law changed. Whining on YouTube does nothing.
Tell ’em Deborah!
@Deborah Freedman debs it is vitally I.portant people use tax havens if people didn’t avoid paying taxes how wpuld London sustain itself
Whatever you are secretly hoping for – an 82-year-old adventurous woman deserves coming back alive!
I hope that rocket is made from components bought from Amazon.
Looks like a big slong, may be some compensation needed there?
Absurd. What a little boy. Pay your taxes, treat all your employees better and maybe one day, we’ll be interested.
They spend millions on their ego while millions starve and are homeless.
Yea they give alot away too.
How many people starve to death in the USA per year?
@Reason More than you’ll ever hear about.
@Hopsta : Not convincing.
You only live once. This man has spent alot of money over the years on donations. We may not know where the donations go but he does give his money away nvr receiving anything back from that money. So you figure it out. It’s not his fault these people are poor. It’s like him saying hey you have the internet and can watch videos on youtube in the shade in a house that’s air conditioned and the homeless don’t. It’s not your fault those people divide to be homeless. And you know something alot of homeless choose to live like that because they have peace and can do what they want. Can spend what they have on what they want and basically have no rules and live free. They may struggle but they rather live like that than have a house where they have to waste money on electricity or waste money on the trash pickup. They find things like bills a waste.
Unfortunately he’s also set to return
“Cool story,” said the single mom working 2 jobs so that her kid can have enough food and get those eyeglasses she needs.
BEZOS: PAY YOUR TAXES!!!!!!!!
Just a matter of time before there is billionaire bits falling back to earth. Thrill seeking doesn’t always end well. You got everything…why risk it all for this?
