with $110 billion, Jeff Bezos is the richest person on this planet
he makes lots of money with workers’ sighs, sweat, and blood
many workers who work many hours live under debt or on welfare
his rabid love for money/power take him to foreign lands for more
this week, Bezos visited India to calm opposition to his Indian branch
he began his public relations mission by eulogy to M. K. Gandhi
“Just landed in India and spent a beautiful afternoon paying my respects to someone who truly changed the world. ‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.’ – Mahatma Gandhi.”
Gandhi must be thinking:
“After 72 years of freedom, India can’t rid itself of white imperialists.”
Bezos is pursuing money as if there was no tomorrow
learn he cannot because his brain is iClouded with greenbacks
giant corporations thrive on buying or burying small businesses
many small businesses have been wiped out due to Amazon & Flipkart
(Flipckart is owned by giant US-based retailer Walmart)
both giants are under investigation by India’s antitrust body
that’s the reason Washington Post/Amazon guy Bezos visited India
he flew kites with children, met film industry people, and wore local clothes
money makes people do so many things – with Bezos, it’s big billions
but Indian Prime Minister Modi refused to see him at all
and a minister criticized his offer of $1 billion investment, etc.
“We will use Amazon’s global footprint to enable US$10 billion in exports of Indian products to the rest of the world by 2025. Our investments in India will create an additional 1 million jobs across the country by 2025,”
why go so far to create so many jobs when there’s unemployment in the US
like every megalomaniac, Bezos wants to rule the world economically
Modi refused his offer, not because he doesn’t like money – local or foreign
it’s because Washington Post had criticized Modi’s inhumane policies
of the atrocious debacle in Kashmir,
his anti-Muslim & anti-students policies, and also
Modi and his supporters also want to become global rulers
