Sadly the inescapable physical truth of convex vs concave lensing still relentlessly holds its tenacious grip on reality, despite the billions of dollars these folks have accumulated they have still, thus far, been unable to alter that particular aspect of reality.

The only solution I can offer for Jeff Bezos is to begin forming his skull inwards somewhat so that any captured light can reach a proper focusing point. As as astronomer with some experience with such reflective optical surfaces, I'd be happy to begin the grinding and polishing process for you at any time, I'll just need you to hold him still while I work. It's a very precise process.

I assume his head is mostly thick skull surrounding empty space anyway, so I think there should be little harm done.

That's what the oligarchs want...

He has your money, and if you want it now vote JG Wentworth 2028.

Because unless we take our money back, they're just gonna fucking keep it.

Edit:

Because people might not know that commercial:

Point being that's the only thing we should say to oligarchs, if we say nothing they win

So every time you see a billionaire, say "bitch, where's my money".

Don't let them talk about anything besides they have our money.

We're past the point of redistribution. We need to take it out of their hides as well.

Just wanted to throw down the reminder that health insurance companies, for a brief moment, didn't deny nearly as many claims.

Sometimes violence is the answer.

[–] Canconda@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 month ago

IMO capital punishment is only violence if it's done to the working class. If a judge and jury, after due process, sentences a billionaire to death that is justice.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 17 points 1 month ago

Fear isn't enough. The whole billionaire class should be culled from society.

Borrowed $250k ($550k in today's money) from his family to start Amazon, has so much money now that money has ceased to have meaning. This asshole has never lived a normal life and yet he thinks he knows what kind of problems people are facing today.

"Billionaire with vested interest in AI &Trump says there's no problems with billionares, AI & Trump"

Why the fuck even ask him?

Because people for some reason think greedy people have some authority outside of their own greed. Hint: they don't!

Strange how a man who stands to make billions more from this, thinks all those opposed to it are wrong.

Guessing it’s due to his vast and deep knowledge of the subject, after long and careful scientific and sociologic research.

It’s like they have some sort of solidarity. One based on their class. Seems like an idea that could greatly benefit them.

These billionaire ghouls just don't know when to stfu

I honestly cannot imagine being THAT rich, being able to do anything, and still being such a massive piece of shit

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You don't get to be that rich without being a massive piece of shit.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Exactly. Average asshole gets a billion, they get a financial advisor, let their money turn into generational wealth with investments, and donate to charity while living in a big mansion.

The billionaires we have are more of mentally sick wannabe dragons, the horde will never be big enough to satisfy them.

Well what did you expect, him to come out and say "yes, billionaires are detrimental to society"?

The police investigated themselves and found nothing wrong.

[–] TheGreenWizard@lemmy.zip 21 points 1 month ago

Oh, so the cartoonishly evil CEO said the evil rogues gallery of CEOs isn't evil? It's also so funny how he could say "no, young worker's jobs aren't in that much danger." Then mark fuckerberg goes on stage saying how many people he's replaced with ai. Wholly shit its impossible.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One thing that's become very clear is that all these billionaires are not smart people. Most of them were born on 3rd base or just got lucky.

But their are not wise or worth listening to.

In fact most of them are just shitty dumb pieces of shit psychopaths

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The psychopath (at the bare minimum sociopath) part is important. You can't get there without dehumanising your workers.

“The top 1% of taxpayers pay about 40% of all the tax revenue, and the bottom half pay 3%,” Bezos said. “I don’t think it should be 3%. I think it should be zero.”

“People sometimes say that, you know, I don’t pay taxes. Not true. I pay billions of dollars in taxes,”

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

WT-absolute-F? I think he got oxygen-deprived in space.

“You could double the taxes I pay, and it’s not going to help that teacher in Queens. I promise you.”

well, in the USA this is probably true, all the money would be diverted into more military spending or tax breaks for stupid filthy rich people

Mark my words, Jeff is positioning himself to eventually run for president.

[–] NottaLottaOcelot@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

He does check all the boxes for the American electorate

✅ Self interested - “A success story!”

✅ Blames poor people for their poverty - “Why don’t you just work harder?”

✅ Avoids paying taxes - “When I’m a billionaire, I won’t want to pay either!”

✅ Does not understand that revenue from tax dollars should be used to support social programs and government services that are not specifically profit generating (food programs, emergency preparedness, environmental conservation, mail to remote areas, etc) - “The government should be run like a business”

Hey a rich out of touch asshole who has nothing in common with his fellow man has an opinion about something!

I bet he knows what he's talking about!

[–] biofaust@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I am starting to downvote these posts. I know what an asshole like Bezos would say if asked, then a good-for-nothing tech press guy asks AND you give him a platform on Lemmy.

There is no valuable analysis or any collateral reporting that makes this other than self-inflicted propaganda.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

I agree with your sentiment but I like these posts for a strategic reason: Bezos intends for his statements to bolster support, but his strategy is falling flat. Support for AI is either level or declining, and anger over its harm is growing. Bezos reveals the extent to which he is out-of-touch. I think his statements actually inflame opposition to AI: his propaganda is motivating his opponents while leaving his supporters indifferent. When I upvote Bezos quotes, I am thinking to myself, 'hey everybody, get a load of this asshole!' I am definitely not upvoting him because I think his claims have merit or that they will convert people to support AI.

He should probably stay away from words like "dead" while defending Trump. Twenty-two people linked to Epstein, and therefore Trump, have died under mysterious circumstances.
