$205 Billion Bezos and Three Other Passengers Were Launched Today in an 11-Minute Space Flight 63 miles above the Earth or What Bezos Could Not See and Ignores by Glen Brown

 


Everyone on planet earth knows Bezos flew into space today. He had a magnificent view of Our earth. What he could not see (and continues to ignore) are America's political and economic repression, economic insecurities and crises: its poverty, hunger, homelessness, unemployment, government deregulation, gun violence, racial injustice, climate emergency, crumbling infrastructures, LGBTQ discrimination, student debt, rising college costs, depleted social services, destruction of retirement pensions, damaged child-care system and faulty mental-health care, refugee and immigration disaster, exorbitant-privatized health care, U.S. tax code for the wealthy elite and income gap between the wealthy plutocracy and everyone else, to name just a few.

    Imagine the thrill of using your own wealth for everyone in the world to go to bed for one day without hunger.

  2. Yes how about using all that money to help clean up the environment, help get plastic out of our oceans, reduce greenhouse gases, preserve habitat and protect wildlife. Billionaires sending themselves into space for a few minutes is so pointless and arrogant.
