She didn't get your OP. Stand by for some scorn for scorn's sake directed at you or me or the both of us.

Boycotts never work. Society is to blame for the arrogance of these people. They have placed them on a pedestal and worshipped them. In the last couple decades there are big industries dedicated to following the lives of the rich and famous and producing reports and videos about their lives, where they live, their fortunes their every move. So these people think they are gods. Personally I dont care.

I would love to boycot Amazon but Audible ( part of the Amazon group) is a cheap & convenient way to get entertainment for my wife.

I have mixed feelings about Bezo's. His lack of philanthropic endeavors definitely rub's me the wrong way. I was encouraged however by his sincere desire to transport the earths polluting manufacturing base into space, and to clean up the planet.

I liked Branson's record label in the 70s and his record stores since the 80s. One of my favourite places to buy new CDs in Japan were Virgin Megastores. Mind you, by then, Branson probably didn't own them anymore. Never heard him make callous remarks about his employees and customers.

it's only billionaire locker room talk
all the good ole boybillionaires talk that way
it's normal behavior, and we poor folks, all of us, need to understand that these stable geniuses are the only hope that we will all die for the good of the pocket linings of the ruling class
i can only hope to wield a golden flag whilst storming the castle of creation of the bills of billionaireville

oatmeal for breakfast

The point you made missed the point of the OP.

I got it, I surpassed it.

Keep your scorn to yourself.

I have been thinking of boycotting Amazon, not because of Rocket Bezos, but because of reports re: how the drivers and warehouse workers are treated.

But let's say millions of us coordinated a boycott. I imagine that would mostly affect the drivers and warehouse workers, especially the ones living in areas where Amazon is the major local employer.

A century or less ago (between the world wars), the pulp SF magazines had stories about industrialists building their own starships and going on adventures. I don't think there were many stories about national space programs in the 1920s and 1930s (could be wrong).
