  11.  @-SS-or-Quit-  But Bezos has nothing to do with that. The blame goes to the mayors and governors who ordered the shut-down of all "non-essential" businesses that the majority of people either owned or worked for.

  12. But the average American still have it better than the average Russian and Chinese.

  13. Elon Musk is now the richest in the world.

  15. <It should be a reminder to you that governments care about wealth first and foremost> And rightfully so. It takes money to keep a city operational.

  21. Only to those who never lived anywhere besides NYC.

  22.  @foxandk  Oligarchs benefit from command economies.

  24. Simple. The smartphone.

  25.  @Code1D  Except that most Americans make well above minimum wage.
    1
  26.  @joy_air  <but there are many places on Earth where you can't "not to work for the minimum salary", because (surprise!) it's the only salary you can get.> Due to living in an underdeveloped often restricted economy.

  30.  @Matt-ux5pg  Taxing the rich didn't work for France in the mid 2010's as it didn't generate much revenue and lost a lot of its skilled workforce. The government eventually scrapped the policy.

  31.  @-SS-or-Quit-  No ----! They work minimum wage jobs, because they don't have skills or experience to command anything better at least not yet. And also the networks. You're right about there's more to making money than just working hard. It comes down to knowing how to make money work for you.

  32.  @usa5450  They already did that.

  33. I like their iPods.

  36.  @shamrock141  Bezos is a die-hard Democrat-voter.

  38. LOL.

  39. But it fell, because the Soviet Union was no longer able to support itself and in turn was longer able to support the barely existent economies of its client states.

  40. Not really. It's due to overcrowding-induced demand, geography and government-imposed restrictions on supply.
    1
  41. Like Xi Jinping? Kim Jong-Un?
    1
  42. They already did that. Hong Kong has one of the lowest birthrates in the world.

  43.  @tyrannosaurus62  Take that up with the government.

  44.  @user-c3jdf9lylzse  Because the poster is fortunate to live in a country that has a lot of open space for its cities.
