So Jeff Bezon is coughing up over £40 million for his wedding. Firstly how anyone is that obscenely rich is a travesty of the economic systematic rip off of the workers. Secondly – how can anyone with a brain and a concious be so immune to human suffering and poverty, that they are willing to splurge millions on a graphic and gaudy show of wealth? At least Bill Gates invested some of his wealth usefully.
The world has become very selfish. Was it Covid or is it social media? Both develop(ed) introverted behaviour. The media is mainly anti-woke, i.e. against anything that shows empathy and understanding for others. Definitely a case for increasing the tax on the rich. Basically Musk, Zuckerberg and Bezos took a gamble and it paid off. That is fine but there should be a limit to personal wealth!
Selfishness used to be the perogative of the young – too insular to realise the effect on others. But it seems that the rich have a monopoly on it! One of the papers criticised Starmer for using a helicopter recently – will they be castigating Bezos or extolling the costumes of the rich and famous. PS. what the fuck do people buy him as a wedding present? There are only so many Caribbean Islands he could visit? I like the corner of Glastonbury where Led by Donkeys and others have built a mock space craft with a caption of” send them to Mars – we party on Earth”. The images shown of people queing included Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Trump and Netanyahu. however if an alien species discovered them on Mars and thought they represented life on earth – we would be totally fucked!
