Am I supposed to be impressed Jeff bezos went to ‘space’?

@SW-User yes that is correct

@FreeSpirit1 it really did

@FreeSpirit1 he looks like a giant vibrator too.

@FreeSpirit1 Branson's craft was so much better. It looked like something out of Star Wars.

@SW-User 💯 wouldn’t even qualify this as actually going to space but the news is acting like he landed on mars

@NoahB It's like swimming across the Rio Grande and back and saying you went to Mexico.

@SW-User lol exactly. It’s maybe even a little lamer than that. Big news story about the [i]second[/i] guy who swam across the rio grande and saying he went to Mexico

@NoahB Scientists have been to space. The common person has not and I’m not sure where you been, but space is kind of a big deal no matter who it is anyway. If you cannot appreciate the wonder of space that then it’s no wonder you don’t find this appreciable either.

@DoubleRings jeff bezos is a common person?? lol and yeah i appreciate space just fine. and i don't think a billionaire buying a ticket for a 'extra big airplane ride' qualifies

@NoahB well you’re entitled to that perspective.

@HannahSky getting there lol

@SW-User oh oh brother. I miss when rich people only tried to impress eachother

@Bados dude it’s embarrassing how much the news is hyping this up. The commies actually put someone in space decades ago and shortly after that the us landed on the moon. Such an obvious kiss ass story from the media to bezos

@NoahB The commies, the fascist, the capitalists, the what ever the chinese are. Everyone has put a person in orbit.

@DeluxedEdition I talk about a lot of stuff I don’t like. It’s called complaining

@NoahB I’m just messing w you 😉

@basilfawlty89 thatd be great

@basilfawlty89 There was a petition on Change.org trying to get them not to let him back in to Earth. Got something like 200,000 signatures.

@basilfawlty89 The easiest... and laziest... thing in the world to do is critisize what others do. Again, Edison, the Wright Brothers, Ford, etc. had critics too when they accomplished a great thing on a small scale BEFORE it became a civilization-changing thing.

Try accomplishing something with your life instead of demonstrating the historical presence of critics in the modern age.

@MarkPaul that's cute. What life changing thing are you doing?

And pray tell, does inventing something give you the right to exploit others suddenly?

@basilfawlty89 I've got ideas. Don't worry about that. And, he's hardly exploiting anyone. Last time I checked, these people are gainfully employed, and have an opportunity to create things on their own or move up in the Amazon organization. Those are pretty good choices.

]@faithfulhusband that’s more annoying to me than impressive

@SumKindaMunster lmao

@SW-User fair

@Budwick lol mwah mwah mwah 💋 🍑

@AthrillatheHunt okay, you work in an Amazon warehouse and see how your quality of life is.

@basilfawlty89 not one person is FORCED into working for him. He didn’t make his money being a philanthropist. His ex wife will do that for him.

@AthrillatheHunt actually, with the labour laws in the US, you are actually forced. It's a choice between homelessness and starvation or working like a slave. If you were dying for thirst and I offered you a water bottle for $1mil you'd buy it. Is it fair? No. Is it exploitative? Yes.

Consent under duress isn't consent.

@iamonfire696 Meanwhile there are stories of Amazon firing more people than they hire.

@Pitchblue not surprised

@swirlie He was having an affair.
