Jeff Bezos Has A Slammin' Body

who is he fucking these days?

Too bad about the face

R2, just put a paper bag over his head.

Bald does not suit him. He should get a hat.

R4 and some facial hair

He looks like Mr. Clean's less attractive brother.

Face and body are fine. Super fine. Not even sure he has such a bad image. Amazon is probably not Mother Theresa to their employees, and I am really concerned what Amazon could do to society. But at this point I don't see him abusing his super power position in the industries he is impacting. Those companies that are closing in retail had it coming; they were in poor shape anyway. What really worries me is that a company of Amazon's or Google's size is crushing startups and new competition before it gets a chance to grow.

But the man Bezos: Yeah, hot.

You too can have such a slamming body. It's quite easy, just keep backstabbing your employees 24/7. That really burns calories and builds muscle mass.

I am the richest person in the world!!!!

You lesser bitches know you want me.

SMELL HER!

In OP's picture, Bezos has the advantage of perfect lighting, good direction from the photographer in posing, a shirt and jeans that would flatter anyone, AND he's by himself and not alongside others. The rest of the photos in the article show him when he does not have these things. He should never have his picture taken standing next to someone like Hemsworth. But in that first picture he's hotness.

When he started Amazon, he looked like a total wimp. Now he's morphed into this alpha top, and he does have an amazing body. It wouldn't surprise me at all to hear he's sleeping with his male trainer.

But the shaved head is ridiculous. He looks like a cartoon bad guy.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

I like him bald, and he fills out a dress shirt pretty well. Would definitely have a go with him in the sheets

Guys his age have good bodies for one of two reasons--he's either gay, or he's sleeping around on his wife with young, hot chicks.

His nipples are begging to be sucked in this picture

I bet he's on hormone replacement treatment.

Sexy and looks like he has a big dick.

Mmmm would love to ride him

My gut feeling is that anyone who wants to take over the world is inherently untrustworthy. No one deserves that much power. I bet he always thought he was better than everyone.

Bezos is evil, but he uses his evil for the benefit of his stockholders, so, in a way, I suppose he is not all bad. I've read a number of bad things about him. The one that sticks in mind is, once, he made an offer to buy an online diaper delivery service. The owners did not want to sell. Bezos, though, started his own diaper business, and underpriced the company he wanted to buy so badly that he lost a lot of money; he priced them below cost. Because Bezos underpriced so much and was so aggressive about getting business, the initial company lost a great deal of its customers. Bezos then went back to the diaper delivery company and said something along the lines of "you going to sell to me now?," the implicit threat being that he would keep pummeling them if they did not. He bought the company for a fraction of what he initially offered.

Is that despicable? Yes, it is, but the stockholders benefited.

I always thought Bezos was some nerdy book reader , which is why he started Amazon, but he was actually a successful investment banker who thought books would be the easiest thing to sell online, because, at that time, people were still suspicious of buying online, and books were one size fits all. He had no love of books. He also picked Seattle not because of his love of the culture and the topography there; no, he started there because it offered the lowest taxes.

He's an opportunist and a shrewd businessman, but I do admire his business acumen. I'm of the belief that the market adjusts to reward the best player, and Amazon is the best player, by far. I used to not buy from them solely because I didn't like what he was doing to local business, but now I buy everything from them. They do what they do very very well. So, I reward them with my purchases.

And, yes, he has gotten very sexy lately. I think that is what power and confidence and a personal trainer and HGH will do for you.

I bet he's 5'7".

My BF is a 40 y/o muscle type and is 100% sure none of that is natural. Let’s take a moment to remember when Daddy was just Dad -

Lordy I want to suck him

He gives the Washington Post a blank check. He's saving this country.

I have nothing bad to say about him because of that.

Questionable anal hygiene

He gives off conflicting signals. One minute he appears altruistic, the next minute he is a corporate vampire.

He needs to give his workers a raise though. Paying them scraps is not sexy.

Fuck him. He caused eBay to get rid of half.com!

No you have to pay a monthly flat fee if you want to sell anything on Az.

Shame he presides over such an immoral exploitative company. I closed my Amazon account two years ago.

You’re right, R22.

He’s a cute little pocket bottom. Like Nick Jonas.

He has a wonky eye.

That weakens charges he is juicing. Much easier for shorter men to gain muscle than larger men.

Who gives a shit. There is no such thing an undesirable Billionaire. Come to me daddy Bezos.

He's probably wearing a kevlar bra.

He looks like Lex Luthor. Not hot.

His workers should unionize and strike like yesterday.

He might be the richest man in the world and have a hot body but he's still a vile, creepy asshole obsessed with world domination and that ,at least to me, makes him repugnant.

That's the guy (R23) I met in 1997 during a random interview with a then random company, whose offices had exposed electrical cords with lightbulbs for lighting. I don't know who that guy is in the newer photos; and I still work there.

R38 -- You've been there since 1997? Wow. You were in at the ground floor. I know there are many things repellant about him and working for him, but I give you credit for being able to tough it out for that long. I hope you have some stock for your trouble.

He should grow a beard

Not bad - I'd hit it.

definitely juicing.

I really think if he was juicing he'd be bigger. A manager at my old job (not my direct supervisor sadly) was in about the same shape as he is in OPs pic. He might have been a little bigger than Bezos

He could be delivered by drone and I'd still send him back.

Definitely juicing, as beautifully displayed by his custom-tailored tapered shirts; and he has had a nice little chin implant as well. (Click on photo, below, to see larger image of his face and custom-tailored tapered shirts; then scroll up to the photo posted in R23.)

His expression is so damn smug in this photo:

He's smug because he's the richest man in the world and increasingly a thirst trap

I didn't realize he is of Scandinavian ancestry. His last name was taken from his Cuban stepfather.

Nordic men have big dicks...

Holy Shit! His before pic at R23 is unbelievable. What a nerd. He really does look like Dr. Evil now. But just about anything is an improvement to what he used to look like. I kind of wish he'd take it all the way and adopt a monocle, a rascal or a white Persian. I feel like he's not committing all the way and I don't like that.

Money does make you beautiful...

Daddy

I'd suck him and massage his prostate for $100k.

Sexy & he pings.... Always has to me

He's always pinged to me too. And now more than ever.

It's not just that he pings, it's that he looks so much like the other powerful uber gays, people like Barry Diller.

I would explore his no-no for 1 hour and 43 minutes

[quote]Now he's morphed into this alpha top

Oh, [bold]that's[/bold] what an alpha top is. No, thanks.

Now that's some Amazon Prime meat.

He looks a lot like the money manager Mark Mobius.

I recently had a bald daddy with a slamming body like Bezos' fuck me bareback. Couldn't kiss that well, but otherwise it was so hot.

you have a weird moral compass R21.

He's an evil fuck, but he's evil on behalf of other rich fucks, so that's okay.

His tactics are evil, but they work, so that's okay.

Why not just admit you're an opportunist without any interest in anything else? On the other hand, you seem to fit right in with many of the cunts on this thread.

Looks as if he's had a good chin implant.

Give the workers a raise, already.

I wouldn't touch this hideous, soulless creature for all the money in the world

He has a fake sounding laugh.

[quote] all the money in the world

r64 = Michelle Williams

There are some hard-up queens on here to think he's hot.

he's an asshole, i just read somewhere, I think it was on DL that a lot of his workers are on welfare.

The man is an asshole...yet, in typical Datalounge fashion, some queen wants to give him a pass because he has a nice body. It's a good thing Adolf Hitler was ugly or some 'mo here would have complained that the Allies should have let him live because he wath tho hot!

R61, you appear to have given the real Bezos some thought. Where do you think he will locate HQ2?

I don't understand how anyone can find a guy with a hideous face hot, regardless of what his body looks like. 9/10 when you meet someone they're gonna be wearing clothes. The face is the first thing you can see without clothing in the way. I know ugly dudes like to pretend that if they get super buff they'll be considered attractive. But sorry no and ugly face attached to a nice body is still unfuckable.

[quote] Face and body are fine. Super fine.

FACE?!?!?

Love this pic

Most people who’ll get intimate with him will do it, first and foremost, because they love his bank statement, not him.

He’ll be dealing with back-stabbing gold-diggers and opportunist bitches for the rest of his life.

new hq will be in texas

[quote]I don't understand how anyone can find a guy with a hideous face hot, regardless of what his body looks like.

This bears repeating. He’s hideous, and ugly inside and out.

Lol you guys have to stop chasing Instagram models are porn stars. I certainly wouldn't call him movie star handsome but his face is fine and about average for someone in their 50s. None of his facial features are grotesque or even particularly unusual.

And the body is excellent for a guy his age. Grindr in my area has a TON of men his age and Bezos would easily be in the top quartile body wise

R60 Can we have your stuff?

who the fuck cares. some cuntville R70

I like his face... And I happen to find bald guys hot.... Some people need to realise we all like different looks. To the person upthread who pointed up his fake laugh, haven't heard it, but many rich people have fake laughs.... You haven't noticed that before?

With a body like that, he could let me eat his ass out for an entire day and day.

R61 -- R21 here. I'm liberal, but I also have an MBA from an Ivy League school, and I'm able to see both sided of a situation. A CEO's job at a publicly-traded company is to increase the value of the company for its stockholders. Has Bezos done that? Absolutely. Hs he pushed the envelope on product development and improved our lives? Yes; Amazon did invent the Kindle, after all. Does he treat his employees badly? Possibly. Do they have to stay there? No, they can get another job if they want. He has made a small company that he started in his garage into an efficient and powerful company. So, yes, he has done his job well by any measure you want to use.

R70. My guess is H2 will be in either the NC research triangle, or Austin.

I hope you are right, R82. About H2.

Daddy could do whatever he wanted to me!!

R84 reports back to the retard ward in the morning. Did you have a good weekend?

Lol what a cunt. If someone finds someone else attractive, but you don't, they're retarded. Get over yourself bitch

[quote] Does he treat his employees badly? Possibly. Do they have to stay there? No, they can get another job if they want.

You could just as easily say that about the owner of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

No, dumbass, r86. It's the "daddy" bullshit. You're even dumber than I thought.

Ummm have you met other gay people R88?

Not all gay men call other gay men "daddy," r89. Not everyone wants to think of their father while having sex.

Not everyone. But many. It's a pretty common thing for you to be freaking out like that

That's "freaking out"? Hahahahaha. You don't know "freaking out," dumbass.

He has huge scrotum

Honestly dude it just seems like you enjoy being a cunt R92 lol And fwiw Bezos is a very hot daddy

He is ferociously unattractive. Frightening looking, actually.

Let me guess, r94. You're the one posting all the anti-Timothee stuff.

LOL the what? Like Timothee Chamalet? Never posted about him in any context, he's not my type and I haven't seen Call Me by Your Name. You seem a little unhinged man. Being set off by the word daddy and now this hahaha

Well, you keep coming back. I don't know what else to say to someone who thinks "Bezos is a very hot daddy." Obviously, I can't say "Yeah, dood, slammin' an' shit." I think I'll go look for someone else to make fun of.

There are surprisingly few good photos of him for someone as vain as he's clearly become

cheating out on your employees harms the shareholders in the long run. It devalues a company over time.

Besides, being cheap is expensive. It is a lessson they have to learn time and time again.

not sure that getting a masters degree is the same as having a CEOs viewpoint, but what do I know.

Someone has a masters in Slammin'?

There's A LOT of room to criticize Bezos on morality, much less to criticize his business acumen, that's kind of absurd on it's face lol

He goes to the gym and wears tailor made clothing. Those tight white shirts are not ready-to-wear, purchased on line.

Google "Jeff Bezos shirtless" and you get nuthin'. Zip. Nada. It took a big ego to build Amazon and if Bezos had such a rockin' body, there would be shirtless photos online.

And more shirtless photos, R104. And still more shirtless photos.

I wondered, actually, what OP was basing his revelation on. Turns out, nothing.

The kindle sucks. It’s like basically a calculator when compared to an iPad or iPad mini.

He is the Henry Ford of the internet, he didn’t invent the automobile, but lucked out on timing. Other companies will catch up and when they do, people will have a choice again.

He should pay his employees more money and not be a slave driver. Just because you move an item off your books and on to the welfare rolls doesn’t make it go away.

dude is hideous as far as appearance, his dark intensity is frightful.

There is no tailoring that can give an overweight guy a v-shape. His arms looked pretty damn big even while bare like in R13. And in R16, his chest seems pretty well formed. Good tailoring flatters features, but can't recreate them. That's like padding R104. In the very few pictures posted here he looks in great shape for a 54 year old guy in all of them

R106 I don't give that much of a fuck what people say about Bezos but I will not let anyone trash the kindle.

It's not meant to be a tablet and doesn't advertise itself as such. It's just for reading and does that exceptionally. What you are looking at is magnetized ink arranged into shapes so its no different on your eyes than actually reading a book. You can do it for hours without harm. And the battery lasts literally a month and I read everyday.

Go away, R108. I clearly stated, "He goes to the gym...."

But he also has unlimited funding to tailor his wardrobe and hire the best photographers. When we see photos of him in a swim suit romping on the beach in Kauai, we will actually know something about his body.

He’s only 54? The souls of the mistreated employees and their destitude families must be taking their toll physically.

And to think of the Asian children who have to put together all the crap from amazon, including kindles, and their bloody knuckles and bandages feet workkng the 18 hour days in the toxic plants. The kids sleep on cots in the factories and eat gruel.

And all the plastic and mercury that gets distributed in the environment along the way. By all means, send me items using planes, trains and automobiles and wonder why the earth is melting.

None of this is sustainable, in all senses of the word, not to mention cruel. So count me out.

I’d rather support a website that promotes and sells local, regional and stateside produced products. Thats what everybody should be doing.

Again, these are his bare arms with no fabric. And tailoring isn't magic lol. If that was the case do you think you'd ever see a rich thin guy ever? No, they'd all get this "super tailoring" you're talking about. Like Zuckerburg is in okay shape. Why doesn't he get this tailoring?

Nothing online?

Y'all can EAT. MY. SHIT.

R113 That vest jacket is tailored to make his arms look like that

How long until they antitrust his ass?

Good thing they will have 2 headquarters for when they are forced to split up. Then maybe they can have competitive wages.

They way they put the warehouses in the small desperate towns in order to exploit the workers who have no other choice but to work there is diabolical.

R115 His worker pay is scheme is gross. Most of these people need social services anyway so we are subsidizing low employment.

BUT these small town people are also partially responsible for their own suffering. They refuse to elect democrats who will invest in infrastructure, raise wages, or do anything else to help them. If you hate minorities more than you love your family that's your own fault. Still we need to stop subsidizing low wages from rich companies.

Corporate welfare dips at both ends. It’s disgusting.

They have it all. The towns have been scraped of all valuables and distributed among the rich.

Enough is enough.

Silicon Valley aka treason Valley really puts the bankers to shame as far as calculated evil goes.

He looks like a real-life Daddy Warbucks.

Silicon Valley is not the least bit patriotic. I don’t know what they have against America so much. She gave them the freedom to create and then they go and sell us out.

Not cool, techoles.

Silicon Valley is MUCH worse. Banks are doing the same things they have been doing for thousands of years. They fuck up a lot but its just how they are. There's no greater pattern to their behavior. These tech assholes all want to remake the world in their image.

Disney is in cahoots with these techholes and has been since at least as far back as Walt's time. TRON is basically their manifesto.

Disney is another one growing WAY out of control. Now that they bought Fox they own half the entertainment industry! Anti-Trust laws need to be remade, they really weren't created for this.

[quote]Anti-Trust laws need to be remade, they really weren't created for this.

How ironic that the Sherman anti-trust act didn't do anything to stop Disney and Fox from becoming brothers.

This is an interesting interview with him. Of course it's very "puffy" and there's nothing about the labor practices but a few things he talks about are:

- Letting small businesses grow on amazon and store their inventory in amazon's warehouse so they can sell with prime (but ignore the fact they put tons out of business...)

- Letting people self-publish & giving more visibility / legitimacy to self-publishing than it has had in the past

- Green initiatives. He has worked with manufacturers for 10 years to get rid of clamshell sealed plastic packaging so they offer" frustration free packaging" mostly due to amazon pushing them for it. (It's hard to recycle the other packaging, aside from the fact there are E.R. statistics on people needing stitches from opening it). He's also moved toward a lot of green power sources like google.

The evil laugh is within the first 5 min.

I'm not sure if the humility is fake, but he does say he "won the lottery" with amazon and so on... he plays down any insinuation that he was some e-commerce oracle, while at the same time you see millennials in their non-profitable "disruptive" start-ups in SF acting like they're Steve Jobs. His early interviews in the 90s when he was a mega nerd reflect a similar personality. It surprises me that he's such an ass hole / slave driver with no concern for employee welfare or corporate culture.

[quote] How long until they antitrust his ass?

That would be never.

[quote]- Letting people self-publish & giving more visibility / legitimacy to self-publishing than it has had in the past

Meanwhile, the quality of mainstream media proofreading and fact-checking has never been worse.

Questionable anal hygiene

R127, that's not Amazon's fault, blame the publishers.

Mixed bag R129 copy editors, whose job it is to catch that stuff, were the first people fired when publishing industry took a hit.

[quote]A CEO's job at a publicly-traded company is to increase the value of the company for its stockholders.

What responsibility does a CEO at a publicly-traded company have toward the company's employees and toward the community in which the company operates? Or is increasing shareholder value the only thing that matters?

R133, legally a CEO's fiduciary role is to increase share price and nothing else. Not even generate more revenue or profit. A CEO can actually be sued for doing something detrimental to the stock price if it's malicious.

Morally and to some degree commonsense wise there is of course you should be doing. but that's not what the person you are quoting meant.

It's stupid to complain about a lack of shirtless pics. He RUNS AMAZON, it's not like he has the time or interest in posing for pics like some needy Instagram whore. He can't afford to lose the credibility either.

But (as I said upthread somewhere) that shaved head is ludicrous. He looks like one of the Coneheads in R125's video.

But R135, he clearly is spending time and money trying to look good. Which other CEOs don't

[quote] he clearly is spending time and money trying to look good.

So what?

[quote] Which other CEOs don't

Tell that to Peter 'The Vampire' Theil.

LOL!!!

It looks like he had a really good, subtle nose job.

R137 My point is, what's the point of working out just to flash your arms once a year. I guess it could be for actual heath reasons, that just seems rare these days haha

Ugly, mean and selfish. By what twisted standard is this "hot?"

DL likes older guys with big muscles pretty consistently R141

His chin looks exactly the same in the before and after.

The way he's smiling and tilting his head makes it look like he had a chin implant . I don't think so either.

[quote] I guess it could be for actual heath reasons, that just seems rare these days haha

"haha"????

r134 it's that pure shareholder model itself that's the problem, because it encourages personal greed amongst CEOs over and above their fiduciary duty. It also encourages an executive 'pump and dump' mentality, where the CEOs will hide or ignore serious industry flaws until they're vested or they leave with their golden parachutes. Ultimately, they will either leave or be forced out, but the shareholders will be suffering the consequences, especially if it's a hot button issue where not only the shares, but the actual long term reputation of the company takes a huge hit.

Either that, or like the recent Intel exec, will fuck over even their shareholders for the sake of a adding few more zeroes to their net worth.

Well, at least he looks less like Miss Spacey now.

Anyone think he's faithful to his wife?

R146 I wouldn't really call it a model. Shareholders, who usually don't work for the company, determine who the next CEO is. They hire someone to increase their own wealth, which only happens by raising the share price.

I think he works out because (a) he feels compelled to act out the idea of being a powerful corporate titan, and looking like he's about to get beat up for his lunch money (cf the pic at R138) just won't do, and

(b) he's trying to get laid. I suspect there are some escorts in Seattle (I suspect male but they could be female) who have some stories to tell about him.

As for R146, I don't think he's personally greedy or out for his shareholders either (he's never been interested in profits) - I think on a personal level he just wants market power and dominance. That would explain his look.

He sure could dominate me...

I agree with R150. It's a power thing for thing for him. He wants to look the way he feels

149 I thought the Board of Directors would appoint the CEO, no? And the average shareholder probably doesn't have a really say in the board make-up, especially for a larger company. Most shareholders would probably give them leeway at any rate.

They're going to be screwed by people who come in and aren't thinking long term, which is what a most shareholders will be looking for. They also can do a lot of damage to a company's future stock price by covering up for their own benefit.

R152 in theory all shareholders have a say but in practice, for any company to be functional, they have a majority of stock between the CEO, the board, and maybe 4 or 5 banks, hedgefunds or other MAJOR shareholders. Once they've assembled a majority of the stock, they can just decide among themselves. It would be chaos if they ever had to call a full vote.

He's just a fucking middleman who got to be the richest man in the world thanks to all the cheap, lazy, entitled, assholes who use his site.

If you want to buy something online go straight to the source that makes the product and if you have to pay 5 more dollars and wait a couple more days to have it so be it.

This creepy asshole already has way to much power.

Sams club is a great example of a tanking share price due to employee mistreatment.

They drove the store into the ground but stretching labor force.

Costco did the opposite and is thriving.

Greed suffocates companies to death.

Good fiscal management includes low employee turnover.

two words: Lady Hips

R154, you're a nut.

A face that could stop a clock

Sarah Sanders blasted for using official White House account to attack Amazon

I think he has actually shown remarkable self restraint in not engaging with Trump at all. No way he can win because the left hates his labor practices and wouldn't have his back.

Also, given Trump's attacks on Amazon and Bezos, I wonder if the rabid anti-Bezos posts in this thread, and the number of recent anti-Amazon threads are part of some wider operation.

Oh no R161 I think the left has fair and legitimate grievances with Amazon. And Bezos became the richest man in the world a few months ago which has made him more newsworthy than ever. DL, despite trolls here and there is generally a left wing site

Amazon's culture is well-known to be very rough... nothing to do with Trump. Bezos is an innovative person & had the right combo of foresight, dedication, timing, and luck. Why he's treating his employees like slaves & people there hate their lives is unfortunate ... really seems unnecessary for the kind of money they are making. Tech companies all work you hard, but they seem a bit excessive in most things I have read.

Bingo!! It’s unnecessarily to cheap out on the employees. It’s needless sabotage.

It would not hurt the company one bit to raise the wages. It would also help to show goodwill for when they are attacked. It makes no sense at all, business or otherwise, to mistreat the employees.

Bezos is also relentlessly hard on the tech employees. He gives them shares that vest after 4 years. So if you submit to the grueling program for those four years, he makes you rich. Many have made the trade: four years of hell for being a millionaire. And many quit immediately after the shares vest.

Ugh so he a power hungry prick with a galactic size ego. Great.

Hon, you ship things. Get over yourself.

His success is a testament to the rest of the population.

In the land of the blind...

If he treated his employees properly he'd only have $75 billion instead of $105 billion. And gosh, who would want him to have to live such a hardscarbble life?

[Quote] Remind me again - does have any good qualities?

Dem nipples

Without his billions, he is too short to be hot.

Eh, short guy with muscles is equally nice to look at as a taller guy with little definition

hung like a gnat, who cares?

amazon is suspiciously quiet as to what to do with their tax windfall.

They were already building hq2, so it can’t be that.

Any word on raises for the warehouse jobs?

Don’t hold your breath.

Amazon bans its customers from making too many returns.

They are free to do what they want, and obviously there were some customers abusing their liberal return policy (though many banned people were normal customers for 10+ years that just returned something expensive, so it was a high percentage of their total purchases). They lie about this policy when asked. They won't give any stipulations to customers about X returns per year maximum or what % of items can be returned, but people figured out it is 10%. You also lose any gift cards and the rest of your prime membership, without refund.

Saw this in a YouTube video and did a screen grab. He clearly packs out his snug slacks quite nicely.

R173 They can't even get heat in the winter

When Amazon bought IMDB, they got rid of the message boards. It was a great place to discuss or ask questions about a film. Some say he didn't like the odd politics that were discussed on the message boards. Also Whole Foods is not as great as they used to be. He wants to buy Target, but he really wants to buy Walmart.

R175 ... woof.

Was he in of the SB commercials?

Vegan

People keep saying Bezos and Trump have this feud but has Bezos ever said anything negative about Trump publicly?

No R181. It’s one sided.

Trump is jealous of Bezos because he really [italic] is [/italic] rich, and Trump’s scared of Bezos because the newspaper he saved (the Washington Post) accurately reports Trump’s frauds.

r182: For that alone I can forgive Bezos a lot.

He's starting pre schools

[quote]My gut feeling is that anyone who wants to take over the world is inherently untrustworthy.

Gee, do ya think?

I met Bezos years ago--I'd say 5'8" or so. He still had hair back then. Very smart, thinks very long-term. Not Mr. Evil, but not Mr. Compassion either. The employees he needs are paid well. The employees who can be easily replaced (aka warehouse workers) aren't. Long-term, we won't be hearing complaints about how Amazon treats its warehouse employees because there won't be very many--robots will take over more and more of the jobs. Unhappy Amazon workers who quit make it easier for Amazon to automate without mass lay-offs. Same with the use of seasonal workers.

Bezos does believe in science and good information--he, personally, owns the Washington Post and he's done a remarkable job there--it's reported to be profitable and the WP has actually been able to increase its news staff. Bezos stays out of the editorial room and doesn't interfere with news judgment.

Trump's threats are fairly meaningless to Bezos--undo Amazon's deal with the USPS? Amazon isn't that far away from setting up its own delivery service.

FWIW, he's been married to the same woman for years (four kids--I think it's three sons and an adopted daughter.) No rumors I've heard, but Bezos is discreet. He only tells people what he wants them to know.

Tailored, tapered shirts, Gurls -

good? bad? hot or not? whatever. Raise his taxes ten times. It's really the only sensible thing to do with rich fucks.

Trump hates his guts. I like that.

Here's how to get super rich like Jeff. Get then Governor Nikki Haley to throw hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks at you to open a distribution/fulfillment facility in Spartanburg SC with huge announcements of all the jobs you're creating. Nikki milks it for all it's worth. One year later automate the entire facility eliminating half those jobs. Keep raking in the millions idiot Nikki threw at you and guaranteed to you for years. Laugh all the way to the bank.

R186, R182 thanks for the info. I was wondering whether I should renew my WApo subscription. I think I will.
