The Supreme Court’s leaked decision spells cultural conflict for decades

Here’s the thing about this: Bezos lost 20 BILLION dollars, and NOTHING in his life will change. The mega yachts, the private jets, the luxury that you and I can only imagine. None of it will change. He will not miss twenty billion dollars. This loss of net worth will not touch his life, at all.

Think about what 20 Billion dollars could do for struggling people. Think about the kind of infrastructure 20 billion dollars can buy. Think about the number of people who could go as far as they wanted to in higher education if they had access to that money.

The financial press is losing its shit about this, not because it exposes the grotesque concentration of wealth, but because poor Jeff Bezos is in danger of losing his position as the second wealthiest man on the planet.

Just think about all of that. Think about what all of this means, where our leaders [sic] place their priorities. Think about what would happen to you if you suddenly lost 10% of your total worth, and how it would affect your life.
