Question number one.

Our first question comes from KGL on Substack.

They ask, what do you think about Bezos' statement on taxes?

Okay, well, let's listen to what he said.

Yeah, so I'm friends with Andrew Yang, and I thought that he, I think UBI was, I don't think UBI was a good, I hate the universal and basic income.

And

Well, let me back up.

I think Bezos talking about cutting taxes for people under the income of $75,000 is a bit of a deflection.

And ultimately, I think what Amazon would probably do is lower their wages such that they ended up with the same take-home pay because I think Amazon is optimized.

for the supply demand of labor, not for what is social consciousness, as in many of their drivers have to pee in bottles because they don't want to take bathroom breaks to try and meet their productivity quota.

So I'm a little bit, I think it's a little bit cynical for a guy who peaced out to Florida

to spend more time with his father about the time he was about to sell his Amazons.

In other words, in sum, Mr. Bezos, sit the fuck down.

I think you talking about cutting the taxes of people making less than $75,000, like how do I figure out an Amazon size eye roll?

And the fact that this guy is also saying in the same breath with the same interview at CNBC, that there's no way that raising his taxes would help that same nursing queen.

No, actually it would.
