How special do my needs have to be?
I saw a video clip of this place in a local news report somewhere. This guy's a badass.
Talk about spending your money for a great cause, on top of being an amazing father!
This is well out of reach for most of us to replicate, but think about Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk... These dragons could change the entire world, yet they instead only seek personal gains and the disruption of positive progress.
Good for this guy and his family, though. He did what so many will never care to do.
Let's not lump Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk together though. I feel weird defending Bezos, but he does have a big charitable fund that's quite transparent about how it spends its money. As for Elon, he's allegedly given billions to charity, but has never specified what that charity is and given his views on things it's probably appropriate to consider that highly suspect.
All the positive things they could be spending their money on that wouldn't put a chip in their wealth and the only charities any of them do keeps turning out to be ways to hide their money from the tax collectors.
Jeff Bezos and Elon Muskโฆ These dragons
The only sense in which they're dragons is "dragon deez nuts across our faces".
I mean, they are changing the entire world...
Literally lmao. Hate Bezos all you want but the US can't live without Amazon now; it's another Walmart/Target now.
And all it took was anticompeting anyone who could provide a better service.
i haven't ordered anything from Amazon for years. i think we would live.
AWS definitely indispensable.
Amazon, I'd like to hear your case for "too big to fail".
Azure, GCP, OCI
I base my statement on AWS outages always being news.
Yeah but if it weren't an option we would adapt. Commerce would not grind to a sudden halt.
Commerce does grind to a halt when AWS goes down. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/09/how-the-aws-outage-wreaked-havoc-across-the-us.html
I'm not going to renew my Amazon sub when it expires. I say it's for moral reasons but honestly it's cause they've made the search so incredibly awful.
I'll search for things with the exact product name, still end up having to scroll down a ways to find it.
I'll go back to buying direct from manufacturer websites.
I got hooked on that no shipping and Amazon Video for a short while, but I haven't missed ordering from then in the last 8 or so months since I cancelled. As far as missing the video, yarr, avast ye hearties!
Thing with the video, I already get it from alternative means even while paying for it because Amazon doesn't like to play in full quality on Linux.
What about the majority of the internet that runs on AWS things?
It can, it just doesn't want to.
It's still baffles me how hard the ball of online mega Corp was dropped by Sears. When the world returned to catalog shopping, They failed hard.
Somewhere in the multiverse Sears is the online giant Amazon is in our reality, and it makes perfect sense.
Sears is the clearest example ever of how the leaders of large corporations are not in any way competent at running large corporations. They are only competent at climbing to the top of large corporations.
And this is why good people who got rich don't stay rich and people who do are usually selfish assholes. Elon Musk bought Twitter for 44 billion, he could have literally built hundreds of amusement parks for disabled people with the same money. Or do literally a thousand other things to make life for other people better. Instead he bought a toxic social media platform to make it even more toxic.
Technically speaking he could have built 4,823 of these amusement parks and still be a billionaire after.
He bought twitter because he was trying to do a pump and dump with the stock. Then the SEC said we warned you once you better be serious this time. He decided buying twitter for a massive premium was better then possible prison time.
He bought twitter because he was trying to do a pump and dump with the stock.
Maybe, but the fact of Saudi and Russian backing of his takeover and his turning twitting into (more of) a nazi propaganda shithole suggests that was the main purpose behind the acquisition - especially when the cost was an absolutely trivial fraction of his overall wealth.
That's why they loaned him the money. Most of his wealth is Tesla stock. He either needed loans or to sell a bunch of stock.
I read "A Texas dad sold off his business..." and expected that to go in a different direction.
This just makes me think of south park where Cartman buys a theme park but with a more wholesome twist.
Yes slightly more wholesome
