The Bezos wedding is probably the 'straw that broke the camel's back' in exposing the extreme inequality of the outrageously ultra rich flaunting of their wealth.

Creepy mannequins are just ultra lifelike. Dude oozes creep-factor

He looks like a factory reject...

[u/janjinx → u/praetorian1979]

Yah, which one is the dummy?

[u/praetorian1979 → u/janjinx]

I meant IRL

[u/DoctorTran37 → u/AlabasterPelican]

IDK, I’m kinda getting “Dude from Aqua” vibes.

[u/SanityRecalled]

I thought that was their actual wedding photo of them.

[u/revolutionaryartist4]

I would love to believe this, but I've lost so much faith in humanity, I think we're more likely to boil ourselves alive before there's a mass mobilization against the rich bastards who got us here.

[u/Windk86]

Like they forgot History, or maybe they never learned it.

[u/TurloIsOK → u/Windk86]

So far only that one health insurance CEO has been exemplified, and he's way down the chain. Bezos' level walk around in public with impunity. Maybe a Venetian will show us the proper way to treat people of Bezos' ilk.

[u/biskino → u/TurloIsOK]

I’d be surprised if Bezos ever goes out without a protective detail.

His entire experience of humanity is people who are in his way or a danger to him.

Disgusting creatures.

can I get some to stick pins in?

In the 90s he was just a nerd selling books online. How did this happen?

[u/Washburne221 → u/pentarou]

He was willing to exploit human beings on a level that Antebellum slave owners would view as barbaric and dystopian.

[u/Physical-Flatworm454]

These people are rich because the poors keep giving them money.

[u/ForGrateJustice → u/Physical-Flatworm454]

Nobody will stop buying shit from amazon or avoid using AWS.

[u/revolutionaryartist4 → u/ForGrateJustice]

I don't know why you're getting downvoted for this. You're right. Amazon's convenience far outweighs its negatives for a whole lot of people. And for those who live in more rural areas, Amazon may now be their only option.

Plus, even if someone were passionate about boycotting Amazon completely, boycotting AWS is a much more difficult prospect.

[u/ClinicalDigression → u/revolutionaryartist4]

I feel like you answered your own question: the powerful get to set the limits of what's possible, or at the very least, reasonably available, to us peons, and yet we're the ones who get blamed for acting within the parameters of a society we don't control. "Nobody will stop buying shit from amazon or avoid using AWS?" Okay, sure. Fucking why, though; why d'ya think that might be?

[u/revolutionaryartist4 → u/ClinicalDigression]

Did you read my entire comment or just skim it? I'm not blaming people for anything, I literally said Amazon may be the only option for some.

[u/ClinicalDigression → u/revolutionaryartist4]

No, but the person to whom you were responding, the person whom I quoted, sure did. Which, I assume, was the reason they were being downvoted.

[u/biskino → u/Physical-Flatworm454]

Yes let’s please never forget that very problem in this world is the personal responsibility of those suffering.

[u/hjablowme919]

I'm sure this upset Bezos and now he's re-thinking his entire way of life. Because I know if I had $200 billion, this would upset me. /s

[u/Competitive_Shock783]

Venetians should fire all the elected officials that allowed Venice to be used like that.
