In reply to the discussion: unpopular opinion perhaps [View all]onenote
(46,140 posts)114. Apparently in your view of the world, factual information in response to a question is "praising" Bezos
I suppose you would prefer for folks on DU to lie and make shit up rather than have this be a place where people can get questions answered truthfully and accurately.
And, as pointed out in my original post as well as in a subsequent post, I noted that Bezos' contributions were only a small percentage of his net worth. Maybe you missed those posts? Maybe you just felt it fit your narrative to ignore them
Says a lot about you. None of it good.

Yeah, Katy Perry saying she was 'putting the ass in astronaut' is probably not helping the cause. nt

Yep. But commercial air travel in the 20's and 30's should not be discounted... NT
