Oh, the irony.

Bezos has given 13 billion dollars of his money away to charity.

Let that sink in. Thirteen billion dollars.

And people are gonna give him crap for personally bankrolling a private space program?

My God, people really just get more miserable by the day.

The question nobody has asked....did he hook up with the green chick?

HIS MONEY?


Try OURS.


Bezos ships thru the USPS and his prime delivery service has a net cost to him, less than what you can mail a letter for. Let that sink in for a minute. Unlike authorized amazon sellers who have to pay a market rate, the Prime~> stuff ships on average for <58 CENTS.


I am not aware of the USPS complaining it has too much money. In fact, in a week or so it is raising media, first class, and priority postage to try and cover a fraction of the amazon losses.



that net giveaway is a fraction of what he costs the taxpayers via a negotiated deal with a money losing GSE from the obama era.

I must assume that you have forsaken ALL discretionary spending -- yes, ALL, including that latte from Starbucks -- and have directed the funds to charities serving thirsty children in the Third World. I applaud you for your thriftiness and your generosity.

So the USPS is a lousy negotiator? How is that Bezos' fault?

Yea … exactly. Bezos is a better negotiator than our federal government.

I benefit from my Prime membership in a multitude of ways. Amazon hires a ton of unskilled labor around here. They aren’t a pillar of the community, but they aren’t the debbil, either.

Another question: did Shatner see a gremlin outside the window?

He actually made a joke about that before the launch!

This actually made me really happy today. First that Shatner went up at all. Then that he was 90 years old. Shatner looks really good for 90 years old.

Just the remembrance of Star Trek makes me happy that some where someone remembers the idea of Star Trek... that someday humanity would have evolved for bigger and better things.

And I have to say this was the first time seeing these millionaire rockets and darn, did it not look so much better than NASA.
