This clip is how I view Bezos and his "rocket" ship. Both the rocket and the bomb are phallic symbols. Even the cowboy hat is the same:

Branson , Bezos and Musk are all innovators and egomaniacs.. They all do both good and bad with their money just as I do. Fortunately I don't get as much press or scrutiny.
Yes I wish they paid their fair share of taxes but even the rich ones that publicly decry the inequities of our tax system don't seem to be donating any extra money to the IRS.

Do you think Bezos anticipated so much negative PR over this?
Space is cool when Elon Musk builds rockets.
It doesn't work for Bezos.

Bezos and his people come across as commercial shills. I wouldn't buy a used car from him/them, despite my Amazon buying, LOL.
Do you really think he cared about negative press? He pretty much gets negative press for any/every thing he does. This is a man that dumped half his fortune to his ex-wife to be with his mistress. He is doing whatever he wants with his fortune, whatever makes him happy while he can. If the Republicans hadn’t gutted tax laws and the IRS’ ability to investigate the complicated taxes of the wealthy, he would have paid more, just like all the other bazillionaires. Not to cheer him on, but there are a whole lot of people involved in his space program making a good living, so his hobby is providing support for a whole range of other companies and people. It’s how capitalism is supposed to work.
