    This is well out of reach for most of us to replicate, but think about Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk… These dragons could change the entire world, yet they instead only seek personal gains and the disruption of positive progress.

    Good for this guy and his family, though. He did what so many will never care to do.

        Literally lmao. Hate Bezos all you want but the US can’t live without Amazon now; it’s another Walmart/Target now.

            I’m not going to renew my Amazon sub when it expires. I say it’s for moral reasons but honestly it’s cause they’ve made the search so incredibly awful.

            I’ll search for things with the exact product name, still end up having to scroll down a ways to find it.

            I’ll go back to buying direct from manufacturer websites.

          It’s still baffles me how hard the ball of online mega Corp was dropped by Sears. When the world returned to catalog shopping, They failed hard.

          Somewhere in the multiverse Sears is the online giant Amazon is in our reality, and it makes perfect sense.

            Sears is the clearest example ever of how the leaders of large corporations are not in any way competent at running large corporations. They are only competent at climbing to the top of large corporations.
