Jeff Bezos announced on Monday that he and his brother will join the first crewed spaceflight from his private rocket company on July 20 — just 15 days after he is set to step down as chief executive of Amazon.

I've heard this. He's very tough, even ruthless, in business. But, speaking only a customer, Amazon has always been quite fair to me. That being said, I do wish Bezos were more intelligent when it came to his political views.

Among his various heinous acts, he regularly dupes businesses into using one of hos services (AWS, Amazon.com, Amazon Fulfillment, etc.)
When anyone becomes successful, he notices, copies their entire business model, cuts prices and puts them out of business.
Everyone is just fodder for his avarice.
Evil SOB.
Fixed it.
Many who are first in this life will be last in the next.
And Matthew 19:30.
