If we could only harness the power of that pee.
TakeTheStairs
its like no one making these memes knows what AWS is - or is purposely miss-representing things.

I'd like to know how much Federal money that non-tax paying douche bag was granted!

@OP have you ever bought anything on amazon ?

Blue Origin is a hell hole https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/30/22702335/jeff-bezos-employees-essay-blue-origin-toxic-workplace

It's the most opposite way of star trek to get to space.
CyrilConnolly
Regardless if you think that Bezos is an asshole (which he is imho) it is nice to see Bill Shatner to come full circle (1/2)
CyrilConnolly
for starting something that inspired people to go into space and help with their knowledge, causing him to go up for the first time. (2/2)
betelgeux
Get the law/regs changed. Don't bitch at Bezos unless he's breaking the law somehow.
DoctorAwesomeEsq
You don't think that amount of money buys laws, or the ability to circumvent them?

Rich wankers without limits. Think how much actual good could've been done. And he didn't even spend his own money. Scum.
Mithi
RWWL ... nice acronym "are double-u double-u elle" or double-double-u?
illogical06
This is wrong in so many ways.
DudeThatsRacist
Bezos thanked them on his flight. What a cool guy!
MrKomisiripala
That warm feeling down their backs is not “good vibes”
XanderCorsaj
Bet he didn't even tip, despite paying for fuck all, too.

Fuck outta here

Congrats on the airplane ride that goes high.

overpriced rich people amusement park ride

Nice how bezos interrupted him so he couldn’t say a word..
BallsackHippo
So, I ain't the only one who noticed? Fuck Bezos.
Patriot55
Which part?
Shaodyn
I really want to see Bezos be honest and say "This was made possible by the hellish conditions I force my workers to endure."

*Blue Origin
iliveinamericabutmysoulisinwonderland
A space program, home security, cloud hosting services, their own delivery fleet, Whole Foods, a new video game, a piece of Government......
BossVarriack
I work for Amazon, screw Bezos
Markamanic
Remember that after the first trip Bezos told us his employees paid for this lmao.
TheGreatBlueHeron
I feel like Nimoy would have declined.
TheVampireDante
In both the most logical, and abrupt way possible I would think.
godwithashotgun
if you show up every day, work as hard as you can, not complain, and have a good attitude, then some day your boss will fly into space

I have to ask why hundreds of thousands of workers stay with them in that case? Surely there are better employers out there?
Mewmus
people just like to complain
seafoamistasty
Don't just like, literally navigate to this site just to do so.
THESHADOWOFJECT
did... did Shatner really shit on Bezos?
LandiniusMaximus
But they don't care at all, they are so wealthy that you and I mean absolutely nothing to them, our opinion will never affect them at all...
Boanjamin
the french nobles used to think that too
roughingupthesuspect
Media outlets are raving about this as a brilliant marketing move on Bezos’s part. ….
PhooBar
Did anybody think it was something else?
Commentsaboutyourusername
Ok I think we should play good cop, bad cop
roughingupthesuspect
It may not mean what you think it means.
roughingupthesuspect
Keep up the good work, it’s a tough road but worth it. Find a mantra, repeat it daily.
mik56il5
What a heap of complete bullcrap.
Greenwaxy
No, they do. Exxon in particular hired writers to do this.
VitaminJay
And also William Shatner is there. :D
CrypticalEnvelopement
Jeff Bezos literally did thank every Amazon employee and customer after his flight
PointsAreForB1tches
Allow me to graciously thank you while I bang your mom. Should be even now.
CrypticalEnvelopement
Why do you think that me stating a fact of "this person said blank" means I'm endorsing every action that person has ever taken FFS
DoctorDelta
There's making a statement and there's actually expressing thanks by not breaking labor laws anymore
CrypticalEnvelopement
Oh I'm not saying it's enough, I'm just pointing out he literally did the thing they're saying he didn't do, just last time.
Whatswrongwiththispicture
I’m glad to see they were delivered back to earth in better shape than the Amazon order I just receive completely crushed
Commentsaboutyourusername
COMPLETELY CRUSHED?! What's wrong with this picture, folks?!
LordNergal
Sorry about that. I didn't know that was your package the drone was carrying. I didn't think the jamming signal would work that well.

Chaotic good actions sometimes have unavoidable collateral damage.

tbf.. usually my Amazon orders are in better shape than UPS, FedEx, or USPS
paddenstoel
Why, ffs, do you buy on Amazon??
TikkaMasalaBaby
You are literally on a aws hosted website/app.
paddenstoel
Men, that sucks.
FievelsBrotherFourvel
Hurry, delete your account the help small business
paddenstoel
Uhuh.
Greenwaxy
Because conscientious consumption is neoliberal BS. Tax and regulate the companies.
OverMyDadBody
It's not all liberal. It's what capitalists want because they knows it won't work
Greenwaxy
That’s why I said NEOliberal. But you’re right conservative orgs also publish propaganda aimed at liberals about conscientious consumption.
paddenstoel
I'll keep buying elsewhere, you keep giving Bezos money then.
dudehiemer
What fucking success of Blue Origin? They have not sent anything up that has orbited Earth. This is money peen, not a space program.

This is their 25th flight. NASA's first crewed orbit was mercury 6? Their 3rd crewed flight. In 1962.
TheFastpaws
And they are holding back NASA’s moon mission with a lawsuit. NASA says due to it we will miss the moon mission goal.
Kegfarms
Time for new flat earther story!
Hevach
They're also holding up the new workhorse rocket for ULA because they can't figure out the BE-4 engines problems. ULA is already losing/
Hevach
Launches, and SpaceX can't handle all of them - the Falcon has a smaller payload fairing and no vertical integration, which NROL often needs
shadowofacrow
I think Space X is doing what it can regardless so might not be too large of a setback... I hope.
TheFastpaws
They partnered with NASA for the mission. Without NASA there is no moon base or this current mission.
Crazywelderguy
On top of that 10 years ago bozos himself predicted someone would hold it up by suing Nasa due to losing a bid.
TheFastpaws
Because he knew then he'd sue for it. Literally just projecting what he already had planned.
Beachbumberry08
Exactly. Blue origin has been around longer than spacex and still doesn't cut the mustard. A lot of my old coworkers went to blue. 1/
Beachbumberry08
2/ they do not have nice things to say about the company culture and more than a few of them feel like they are part of bezo's hobby
Skizzlesnap
Well I mean…they are. You act like this greedy fuck has a hobby where he doesn’t try to make money from it.
Beachbumberry08
That's exactly what it is
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
As a supplier who fired Space-X as a customer, I hope your old coworkers are better off. SX's turnover was crazy.
Beachbumberry08
No they aren't better off. They are scared of being let go when he loses interest or lawsuits. And SX turnover (particularly in tx) 1/
Beachbumberry08
2/ is not bad at all. Generally speaking it's a great place to work... with its quirks and nuisances
Bukkhockey
How many of you took time off from deepthroating your Amazon account to complain about Bezos? You paid for all of this and his yacht.
mallotman86
Returnless refunds under for items under $5 auto credit back to acct, make sure it shipped and sold by them.
epibase
I havent ordered anything off amazon in quite some time.. like 8-12months
Bukkhockey
Last thing I ordered was a book when they only sold books. Problem I have is the hypocrisy of people who hate Bezos but line his pockets
TakeTheStairs
Amazon retail makes a small portion of the wealth of AWS that allows for projects like Blue Origin. you rely on AWS daily without knowing it
Bukkhockey
While its possible I use an Amazon service without my knowledge or approval, I also don't complain about Bezos or use his services willingly
SadisticLeisure
Far as I can dig up, Imgur is hosted on AWS. So effectively, everyone here is complaining about AMZN on a AWS hosted app/site.
Bukkhockey
If true, that's hilarious!!!!
