Bezos is a kid of a CIA father. He was groomed as a Wall St hedge fund trader at DE Shaw where he was quickly promoted to SVP ostensibly due to his CIA family.
In 1994 Bezos was set up to start Amazon in Seattle. Seattle’s metro area touched Bellevue Redmond where today’s psychopath Bill Gates III was greased by his mother’s IBM connections to dominate the microcomputer software space. It was the ‘thing.’
Bezos’s mission was to dominate e-commerce but he couldn’t make a profit for 17 years. From 1994 to 2011 Amazon floundered.
Bezos was told by his central banking CIA buddies that they could fund him to the moon if he could just turn a profit. Amazon’s accountants cooked the books and cranked out a quarterly profit in 2011. Presto! The 1st 10 billion arrived to Amazon as a CIA contract for “Cloud Services.”
Many more ten billion dollar contracts followed.
If Sears and Roebuck had a fraction of Amazon’s Wall Street banking funny Fed money, they would have made Nordstrom’s look like a garage sale.
Bezos is now 100% controlled by the Davos gang.
And he was never a genius, he just had the connections.
Same as Bill Gates, not a genius, just a phone talker while Paul Allen was the code master. All of Microsoft’s products were stolen, first from Xerox, then Apple.
Jobs had vision but had Wozniak as code genius.
Among Jobs, Allen, Wozniak and many others including Ellison, Bezos doesn’t even make the list.
“first from Xerox, then Apple”
Actually Bill and Paul just bought it from Seattle Computer Systems which was just making a version of Digital Research’s DOS product which of course was just an evolution of CP/M...which the actual smart guy Gary Kildow thought up in ‘72.
It was Jobs who went over to Xerox PARC and toured Adelle Goldberg’s lab, who was furious that the idiot management there let him in. He stole everything...and called it the Mac. After a misstart with the ridiculous Lisa box.
But most everything you say is true. Gates is filthy rich cuz Mommy was on the board of IBM. If he had been anyone else doing compilers at the time, he would still be a small operation somewhere in the trees of Redmond.
The ruling class keeps the cash in the gang. Our cash.
“From 1994 to 2011 Amazon floundered”.
I don’t know what alternative reality you are living in, but I hope you’re having a good time there. From 1994 to 2011 Amazon built the worlds leading cloud platform (AWS), and a unparalleled logistics and distribution network. Two TOTALLY different businesses that came to dominate their particular businesses.
The reason Amazon didn’t show a profit was because they were pumping the profits back into the business. And it clearly worked.
