Frustration, like stress, ruins your quality-of-life. Don't let it get to you!

Bezos is feeling it now, he might have a high standard-of-living, but he's got a poor quality-of-life. Karma.

Or maybe we all need to enjoy this short window of time, while Bezos is getting a divorce, if I understand correctly?

Once that is settled, I imagine miraculously, he will get his act all together once again.

Just maybe.

:)

Perhaps Bezos’ new girlfriend herslefnor vis the brother decided it was time to end the marriage. She leaked the pics. Now he’s available to marry her.

Seen it done before.

But without the billions involved here.

I never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of so-called brilliant over achiever middle aged men when it comes to their “affairs”.

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.

It might be close.

But every freeper is likely to make a couple of million in their lifetime.

The median income in the U.S.A. is $61,000 in 2017.

It takes less than 17 years at that rate to make a million dollars. The average working life is over 40 years, so 40 years income alone would be 2.44 million.

That is assuming no investments and compound interest.

137,000/2.44 = 56,147 freepers to earn as much over their lives as Bezos now has as net worth.

I give him no sympathy. He hates Trump and loves liberals.

Many things we do ( or don’t do) aren’t reversible. This is one of the toughest things we have to learn growing up.

Bezos is corrupt and evil as can be. And he went stupid with his dalliances while the richest man on the planet.

But he (and his soon to be ex-wife) is very smart. Originally worked originally for a hedge fund famous for taking on only the smartest of analyst types.

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

But Bezos is objectively, by common standards, very smart.

Envy and covetousness are poor emotions that poison their holder.

In the U.S.A., even people of modest means can become well off through the magic of compound interest.

If a person invests 10% of their income for 40 years, at the end they will have 20 times their average income invested.

That, at a rate of return of 7%, will give them an income of 1.4X of their annual earned income for the rest of their life, and they can pass on the entire principle to their heirs.

7% is what a stock market index fund, based on the S&P 500, has averaged for the past 90 years, adjusted for inflation.

Once people start making the automatic payments to a 401K type investment account, they don't even miss the 10%.

I never hear anything like this about Bill Gates. Makes me wonder if he’s faithful or just very discreet. Maybe he’s too busy remaking Africa.

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.

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

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.

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.

It’s like the sign on the back of an eighteen-wheeler.

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.
