If someone offered me $600M to move to Miami, I would offer someone $300M to move to Miami and pocket the rest

Would you settle for some aircraft carriers?

It's even worse if you look at the full picture. How the fuck is her plastic surgery that horrible when she's with one of the richest people on the fucking planet?

I thought his previous wife was far more attractive than his current partner. Obviously I don't know their personalities and such though.

Everyone's got different taste.

Billionaires typically have the weirdest, like children

I mean, he's a robot, so he's prolly rather into that artificial look.

Not trying to defend this shit bag, but looks aren’t everything.

If the only quality your wife has is “being hot” then I am afraid you lost.

Okay, but Bezos makes the bulk of his money on intellectual property and service fees, not physical real estate.

What you're proposing is still, fundamentally, a tax cut for Tech guys and a big tax hike on the agricultural / mineral / business real estate sectors. It also sets up this very fluid goalpost of "What is an acre of land worth?"

We play this game in Texas, and there's an enormous incentive for regional economic interests to decide who the Texas Comptroller and Texas Railroad Commissioner is, because these two get to functionally dictate how much tax will be collected on land assets. By contrast, the head of the IRS taxes all dollars equally.

Or, just get rid of capital gains taxes and tax it marginally at the regular rate.

I mean what the fuck is also up with him making a fist while she grasps her hand? Is that like some sort of manliness role play

AI hands

She doesn't look human.

The longer I look at this picture the more she looks like the bug in an Edgar suit.

I genuinely love your use of the word embarrassing here. We need to normalize treating insane personal/family wealth as an embarrassment instead of something to be respected. With very few exceptions you only become a billionaire through inheritance of wealth undoubtedly built on exploitation, or by exploiting others yourself. They should be embarrassed by that.

Ostensibly. But the real value of a business owner isn't in the personal taxes they pay, its in the taxes their staff pays. The bulk of Amazon's workforce is going to stick to New York and California and Texas, because that's where the major ports and transit hubs that Amazon needs to operate exist. These states will still rake in tens of billions from the 1.6M Amazon staffers who still need to do their jobs.

You work in the high tax states and retire to the low tax states. Bezos is functionally done being an executive. Now he's just another coked up Miami fuckboi. But current CEO Andy Jassy will be staying in Capital Hill, Seattle for the tail end of his career because that's where the actual work of running the Amazon corporation takes place.
