I'd settle for Bezos the Bozos to just actually pay his taxes.

He can even choose how he pays!

Cash or everything from the neck up. Up to him.

Sorry but he’s a robot. He bought his body on wish.

So that only covers $1.34 in scrap value.

But he's such a poor hardworking small business owner! Surely he deserves some compassion? /S

People boycott over culture shit all the time...

Corps don't like it, but they still prefer it to being boycotted for not paying their fair share of taxes. And it's easily quantifiable and can't be undone on a whim.

Pay your fucking taxes or no one buys your shit, can't get much of a freer market than that

No Pesos for Bezos, until morale improves ( aka he starts paying his taxes )

[–] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Lots still buying his shit unfortunately and the cycle continues.

I definitely want him to pay more taxes, but I assumed that the space tourists paid to be on the trip.

She paid to be in a seat; Baldy paid for the entire craft, all the permits, and the fuel.

Right, but badly is going to recoup that investment by selling tickets, which cover more than the costs associated with each launch.
