    Bezos is worth so much there is no hope of a single president reigning him in.

    It would require a group of countries all going at him at once. Otherwise we are not only stuck with Bezos for our whole life but his children and family will also be unstoppable.

    These men should be disrupted. The “move fast and break things” was their mantra. Now they demand nobody move and nothing changes including wealth vectors.

      If there is one thing that authoritarians are any good for, that is using their unlimited power to deflate millionaires’ ambitions and keeping them in line e.g. Jack Ma https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-56448688 (but yea, despots will help billionaires fuck everyone over if it benefits said despot enough)

        Not really Nazi Germany was a robber baron’s wet dream. All those train tracks in and out of the concentration camps were build with US investors money.
