    Hey Jeff, being good at buying something for a dollar and selling it for two doesn’t mean you’re a genius. Salesmen shouldn’t be giving advice like that.

    Probably because that doesn’t pay for rent, gas, groceries, clothes, utilities, bills, or healthcare. Are you accepting “will live in space soon” as payment on your website, Jeff? No? Well fuck off then.

    Millions of people… On a planet of billions.

    Wasn’t there a Matt Damon movie about that?

    “I believe, in the next couple of decades, there will be millions of people living in space. That’s how fast this is going to accelerate,” he said.

    Jeff Bezos has been saying this stuff for a while. It’s not clear whether he’s just hyping his rockets, but he seems genuinely delusional and detached from reality. I remember an interview in which he was beside himself with enthusiasm for the idea that humanity was going to spread billions of people throughout the whole solar system. To most of us it’s not clear why this is supposed to be a good thing, especially if these people will all be abused by mega corporations like Amazon. And it’s utterly impossible. Besides, most people would prefer to do anything at all to try to save Earth from the ravages of capitalists like Bezos. But of course these techbro assholes prefer to live in sci-fi fantasies than actually have to pay their workers and their taxes and clean up their pollution.

      We should shoot his ass into space in the Apollo 13 capsule with all the manuals, and let him know that he has to safely navigate it around the moon and back to earth by himself, and if he does, we’ll let him live.

      He’ll die within 2 days

        Let’s be sure to send him with his bimbos and a couple of bottles of champagne to shake and spray.

    Jeff, my boy: Newsflash — humanity has ALWAYS lived in space. We’ve got an awesome orbital station that manages food, climate, entertainment, and almost everything else we’ve ever needed.

    Are you calling for us to abandon ship for an inferior product?

    I guess this means he’s going to give all his Amazon employees a pay raise equivalent to his own salary so that everyone will be equally financially able to travel to space.

    Why did Jeff Bezos not distribute his earthly posessions across the world to everyone already? He will live in space soon anyway.

    Unless I’m on a federation starship I don’t want to live in space. I want to live on earth where my species belongs

    Jeff Bezos Says He Doesn’t Understand Why Anybody Alive Now Would Be ‘Discouraged’—Because Soon, ‘Millions Of People Will Be Living In Space’

    Fixed that headline.
