| Jeff Bezos: nearly human. |
If y'all needed whatever proof that a handful of meshing companies taste the same sort of monopoly ability that corporations similar Standard Oil i time enjoyed over a hundred years ago, too hence hold off no farther than geek slaphead Jeff Bezos.
The 53-year-old Bezos was lately proclaimed the world's richest man after a ascension inwards Amazon shares pushed him ahead of Bill Gates.
Bezos founded Amazon inwards the 1990s, too owns 17% of its stock, giving him an estimated fortune of $90.7 billion. But without the sort of monopoly ability that Amazon enjoys inwards the on-line retail world, in that place is no agency that Bezos could cause got kicking the bucket that rich.
What is to a greater extent than disturbing is that, equally people similar Bezos grow richer, they lose involvement inwards but making to a greater extent than money, too instead plow their attending to using their wealth too ability to cast the footing inwards describe alongside their political views. In the representative of Bezos, the guy is a consummate shitlib. His soaring wealth has allowed him to purchase the Washington Post newspaper for $250 million, turning it into a rabid assault Canis familiaris to live on used against President Trump.
Bezos has likewise taken an involvement inwards infinite travel, using his immense fortune to invest inwards the "Blue Origin" infinite rocket business.
Thanks to his odd "alien-like" appearance too his geek obsession alongside Star Trek, inwards which he fifty-fifty appeared once, the exclusively agency to translate this investment inwards infinite go is that he is trying to job his enormous fortune to endeavour to furnish to his dwelling planet, wherever that is.

| Bezos, non necessarily using brand up. |
But to a greater extent than seriously, dorsum inwards the early on 20th century, when companies similar Northern Securities too Standard Oil exercised monopoly command over their respective industries -- railroads too stone oil -- President Teddy Roosevelt moved to interruption them up, yesteryear implementing rigid anti-trust laws.
Now the fourth dimension is ripe for a similar trust-busting movement, aimed at the giant meshing too social media companies.
