That's almost exactly right, and it makes a perfect meme, but in the real world I bet the billionaire would say something like, "That cookie is for all 1000 workers to share. But watch out, that immigrant is trying to take one of the chocolate chips." And then the [right wing] worker would scream about immigrants taking all the cookies.

Bezos’s superyacht, which likely will cost upwards of $500 million to build and have its own support yacht with a helipad, is the latest accessory — along with the Washington Post, the movies, the tabloid scandal — heralding the Amazon mogul’s transformation from geeky technologist to globe-trotting megabillionaire. It’s an indication of the enormity of a fortune that’s accrued even faster as the world has been upended by a devastating pandemic.

Ugh... he can't come to covid free Australia though. Our country borders are locked...

Isn't he the arseholio that underpays workers?

Exactly (see title of thread). He's also the richest man on earth.

Makes you wanna work 120 hrs a week starting your own business don't it? Instead you set on your ass bitching about everyone else that does.

One of my sister's friends had a cafe in Fremantle... she worked her absolute guts out for $80 a week profit for hereself. She told me. Most of her profit had to go towards outrageous rent. Small businesses are fucked over by greedy landlords. It is not as easy as just owning your own business.

Real estate costs in the US drive many people into poverty.

Restaurants are a really rough business. Most fail. And with Covid, the numbers have just grown. A really wonderful family next to me lost their cafe during the pandemic. So sad.

Like I said, you're a moron. Millions upon millions of people CHOOSE to open a business and go bankrupt within a year.

I have never bitched about people starting a business. I am all for small business, you thick headed meat-for-brains. It's no guarantee of middle class comfort, though. Especially not with all the laws in the US favoring gigantic corporations and people like Jeff Bezos literally destroying small businesses right and left.

Ah, to be as simple minded as you are.

I won’t bother replying to your previous response, but there you go again insulting people’s intelligence. Change it up a bit. Have you actually run a small business? Big corporations can have a negative impact, sure, but smart marketing and management can make all the difference. And I should know...

During the lockdown, cafes and restaurants could provide take-away where I lived, plus the federal government helped small business paying some people's wages $750 a week.

I am so sorry about your friends. They should have been looked after.

Poor management. Do you want business 101 lessons? I’m not cheap.

because Australia is very rich due to mining in my state, rich enough to support 25,000,000 people BUT how long that lasts is anyone's guess. For now we can care for ourselves plus support some poorer nations like Pacific Islands, refugee camps and the like.

@LotusBud If you want to understand landlords and how it all works, read this novel set in feudal Ireland in the mid 18 hundreds. It's the Irish part of this saga that survives the times.

Cashelmara is Susan Howatch's retelling of the lives of Edward I, Edward II, and Edward III of England. She sets her tale primarily at Cashelmara, an estate in Ireland, beginning in 1859, with Edward's second marriage to his first wife's cousin, Marguerite. Google Books
