Well, bezos, it's because you don't actually care about a dictatorship as much as you care that your money pile gets bigger! What are you yelling at me for shitbird? You guys have the money n power! If you're counting on my broken ass to fix the world you're in deep shit

Bezos' pile of money is so big if he got out today his great-grandchildren will have no fucking idea how to spend all their money. He has no reason to care what anyone fucking thinks until they start breaking out the forks and knives.

I mean other than the fact that money will not save them in a destroyed society or world. Why do you think they argue over the best way to control their security teams, shock collars or limited food? Because they only have as much power as they have control and it will slip from their grasp if they do fuck all with it and let it burn around them.

Billionaires will be fine. They have built their doomsday bunkers and they're waiting for the dictators to genocide everyone else so they can crawl out into the sunlit depopulated paradise.

To be eaten by wolves surely. I just wish i could be alive to see it

It's fun that you think Bezos takes any interest or part in the day to day workings of the WaPo.
