But it’s funny how the poverty never quite trickles to the very top.

It isn’t trickle up.

It’s tsunami up.

Markey sold his company to Bezos. It's too late for Jeff to dicatate political views to Ed. That's not in the earn-out clause. Sorry Bezos.

Ah, comes to mind the famous quote by Einstein, I believe was: “Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”

But then again, we all know that liberalism is a mental disease.

Mackey is still on the Board and he gives interviews like he’s still involved with Whole Foods.

I can’t seem to find any information on exactly “how much” influence he still has though.

I was thinking that myself. I don’t think I’m ‘poor’, but if I shopped there routinely, poverty would certainly begin to trickle through my life...

Unfortunately he is right on the money. Prosperity always has a trickle down effect, as the ones with the money most always provide jobs for he ones less privileged but not the other way around.
