Who Cares?

Well…with the launch of Jeff Bezos rocket with him in it today and getting to space, my reaction to it is who cares? Who cares that a billionaire has taken his vanity project and spent a lot of money on it? This rocket has no purpose other than to put people into space and it’s just like Branson’s flight last week….another toy for rich people to spend money on….you could say that this rocket was built by you and me since Bezos brags that he doesn’t pay any taxes on his billions…and his tone deaf comment after the flight that the rocket was paid for by the people of Amazon and it’s customers shows how out of touch he is….and I’m sure the underpaid and abused workers at amazon’s warehouses will just love to hear that their abuse allowed this rich prick to fund his vanity project while they take their 5 minutes of breaks in a 10 hour shift. I really have had enough of the rich getting to do these kinds of things because of the inequality in our system…wouldn’t it be better for the US and the world to have Bezos pay his damn taxes so we can fix the roads and schools instead of buying a new toy for the richest person in the world?
