    Bezos had to start off somewhere.

    Just a small loan of a quarter million dollars from his parents to bail out his failing company, which one would be hard-pressed to imagine he would have even had that much success in founding if not for his wealthy parents supporting his upbringing as they did.

        This is ironically a poor sales pitch, unless you believe that networking, marketing, and familial wealth should be what orders society.

        And I never said that 250k was all they had, and in fact being able to throw that much money at something is going to be less and less of a concern the more money you have, though I don’t think his family was “poor as hell” to start with. Unfortunately for this point, their finances at the time are not publicized that I can find.

            It’s all part of how society works.

            I said should, not does.

            But he didn’t steal profits.

            Back then, he used a considerable amount of money to run at a loss. Nowadays, he does steal a remarkable level of profits in the unpaid wages of the employees who keep winding up in the news for being forced to piss in bottles or drive to work in a hurricane.

                Now days he’s not part of the company.

                I don’t think this all happened right when he retired in 2021
