    Part of the problem here is that Bezos, who is and always will be a dork who became rich by selling books

    Bezos is not rich because of the shit he sells on his website, that shit is just a bonfire for cash. Bozos is rich because a hint over 40% of the entire fucking Internet runs on Amazon Web Services.

    This is why if AWS and Amazon were ever split by the Federal government, Amazon and all the warehouse shit would be bankrupt faster than the morals of a newly elected politician.

      No. He’s crazy rich because of selling books online. He’s confoundedly rich beyond believe and responsibility because of AWS. It took the former to be able to develop the latter.

    This “article” is fucking weird and creepy. No one should be putting that much thought into the lives of these stupid people.

    Somebody needs to do a proper deconstruction of the photo. I mean, for example, the dashboard gets as much screen real estate as his biceps, aka “guns” — and none of this is unintentional. You don’t get Annie Leibowitz, the most famous living portrait photographer, for a quick snapshot.

      Pretty sure, Bezos cares more about the truck than his lover.

      Actually, he probably does, but the compositing, Bezos is framed by the door, placing him on the rule of thirds- the right side top and bottom thirds. (His bicep on the lower intersection and his painted on face on the top.) Obviously, the suggestion there is that Bezos cares more about himself, his truck second, what’s-her-name third. The left side is dominated by the top rim of the steering wheel (top left third,) and the lower part of the dash (bottom left third)

    My take is she’s clinging to him like he’s her prey and she will never let go, at least not until she sucked all live (i.e. money) from him. He has a very passive stance like he is bound and cannot move any longer.

    That guy is fucked by a vampire. And do you see her hands? They tell that he at least doesn’t go for the young girls. That’s the one thing I think he is doing better that other rich assholes like him.

    Elsewise: That asshole is an abomination that should get ripped off all his wealth. Tax the billionaires into the ground. Literally.

      I especially love the click bait ads…"Was Nancy Reagan really known as Hollywood’s Blowjob Queen? "

    I don’t particularly care about Bezos or his love life but you’re right, that’s some stellar writing.
