Jeff Bezos - Very Rich, But Not Very Smart [vanity]
FR ^ | Sunday, February 10, 2019 | cc

That's one aspect of this fiasco that keeps ticking Bezos off - there's this unspoken meme out there that the richer you are, the smarter you must be. (Look at guys like Bill Gates or the founders of Google - smart computer guys, right?) And as The World's Richest Person, Bezos was happy to bask in this implied adulation too. But the fact that he would take "intimate self-pix" and send them over electronic media - which everyone, even poor peons like us, knows is hackable - shows really dumb behavior. (Bill Gates and Donald Trump never did this). Sure enough, those pix got hacked, and now Bezos looks like an idiot. So you have to wonder how much of Amazon's success was really due to Bezos himself, and how much was due to other people he hired. Did Bezos just luck out, being in the right place & time when he started Amazon as an online-bookseller? Sure starting to look that way now - with even poor people realizing they have more common sense than The World's Richest Person, of course he's really frustrated.

The other aspect of this that shows his dumbness is the fact that he took, and sent, all by himself, pictures of his "manhood". By doing so, he voluntarily gave away an intimate, private detail that other men are smart enough to not to. Once those pictures get out, any time he walks into a meeting, everyone can smirk, already knowing - and THAT must also be a pretty humiliating feeling for The World's Richest Person.

The pictures haven't been released yet, National Enquirer is keeping them in reserve as their ace, while Bezos desperately tries to recruit corrupt Democrat-friendly "law agencies" like Preet Brara's SDNY to intimidate the NE. (The fact that Bezos is in such a panic to get the pictures back suggests he doesn't have much there, another humiliation for The World's Richest Person.) But Bezos also realizes that if his goons lean too hard, NE could publish the pix anywhere, anytime - just upload it to a server in Finland and there's squat Bezos can do to stop it.

Think about that - a guy has 137 Billion (that 137,000 Million) Dollars, more money than every Freeper here COMBINED will ever make in our lifetimes, and he can't do one damn thing to put the toothpaste back in the tube that HE squeezed out. Now THAT'S frustration.

Be grateful for your poor, simple life.

If I were Bezos, I’d just go and hire a woman to be my ‘girlfriend’ and avoid the necessity of a wife.

People are generally happier with a long term committed relationship.

That being said, there is a long history of wealthy and powerful men having discreet mistresses and concubines.

That’s why nobody in Canada is rich, there’s no income “left over” to invest after our confiscatory tax rates are applied

If the U.S. Socialist Insecurity were invested in an index fund for the S&P 500 stock market, after 40 years, they would have about twice their annual income for life, and 30 times there annual income to pass on to their heirs as an inheritance.

Middle Age men who take pictures of their Genitals and send those pictures to their lovers thinking it will excite them should be institutionalized as certifiably Insane.

Expert in some areas, not so much in others.

Or is it a commentary on his character? Maybe figures rules and gravity don't apply to guys who are bucks up.

BEZOS PECKER IS SO TINY THAT ...

Bezos, we forgive you for your mistake exposing your private parts. We are big and noble people.

Bezos, but what we cannot forgive is the shear size of your exposed pecker. Bezos pecker is SO TINY!
Your pecker is TEENY TINY SMALL! That is unforgivable.

Ten of those will fit on an album cover.

The New Meme is # Bezos Pecker is so Tiny that ...

o It needs the smartphone visual magnifier to see it.
o I thought a caterpiller landed on Bezos’ crotch.
o So tiny Bezos can impregnate a fruit fly.
o Bezos family jewels are tinier than an industrial diamond.

You would think a guy like Bezos would just buy an island in the South Pacific, fully load it with all the luxury amenities it needs and stock it with 50 beautiful bimbos and call it “Whore Island”.
I know i would...

With 140 billion in his fault I at least hope he had the good sense to hire a few fluffers to prep the little feller for his online debut. lol

You are a valuable asset here in Freepland, too.

Well one can be smart yet lack common sense.

I happen to think Jeff Bezos is super-smart, after all he almost singlehandedly built one of the largest corporations in the history of the United States and disrupted many industries along the way. Yes, he hired some other super-smart people to help get him there but he made all the major decisions such as deciding to go ahead with the Kindle and with Amazon Prime, etc.

But obviously he is lacking in common sense. Taking photos of his genitals on a smartphone is a blunder that most regular people would never make.

We are all human and we all fall to our weaknesses.”””

I cannot include taking pictures of your genitals with your cell phone & sending them out into the ether ‘falling to our weaknesses’.

I call it MONUMENTALLY STUPID.

As I said, he went stupid on that. And that is just the sort of stuff that the otherwise smart go stupid on.

But he is objectively a very smart (though evil) man.

Yes, it is bizarre. Bezos and Amazon have contracts with the NSA, CIA, etc...he should be quite aware of how no one’s data is safe, from hackers, sure - but more importantly, its not safe from political enemies.

And to that extent, Bezos made himself extremely political. As a good oligarch, he bought the Washington Post, mouthpiece of the FBI and CIA and newspaper for America’s Washington DC-based deep-state nomenklatura. WaPo been spewing Trump derangement for the last 3 years.

I can only imagine it is extreme arrogance that gave Bezos the notion that he was untouchable.

I'm a bit younger than Bezos. I saw a photo of myself a friend took last week while we were at dinner together. I thought for half a second: "who is that fat, old, bald guy at the end of the table?" I immediately realized - it was me.

I can't imagine how much more bizarre me, or anyone else, would find pictures of my private parts.

Interesting comment ... though personally I think it was just some pricey alcohol involved ... but now the damage is done

ah, those temptations of luxury ... Bezos is obviously lacking in the self-discipline seen in other billionaires

It’s like the sign on the back of an eighteen-wheeler.
“I may be slow, but I’m ahead of you.”

Intimacy. Intimate. Private. He was secretly having this relationship. But he needed to document it?

Our electronic culture has created a false intimacy for those who want to have that moment preserved. Maybe he was impressed with himself. Maybe he’s on Cloud 9. (s) They say the camera adds 15 pounds. (s)

And if I were that woman, I’d be running the other way. He probably has some of her too.
