Lucky timing is: being a white guy growing up in the 70s/80s America.

Besides that, if you look at the company he started. It started selling books, but he always wanted to sell other stuff. His shareholder letters describe his vision from the very first one and it is consistent. It didn’t change over time. They company got lucky, they talk about prime being a fluke all the time. But on the other hand, the culture in the company was something that supported a fluke like that to bubble up through the idea pond.

Any who, yea. I don’t care for the person that the media portrays him as today. But for his initial years I absolutely give him a lot of credit.

I haven’t heard off Amazon being built on stolen ideas or usurping someone else’s company or being born with a silver spoon.

Yes he was a white male in America in the 70s and has all the privilege associated with that, but there were like another 50 million in that category.

Is bezos an exception?

Sorry too hear that.

Hope you can fully recover and go back to doing things that you enjoy.

I believe this is the best way to live. Exercise for the sake of exercise is in my mind a first world problem to San event.

I would rather incorporate stuff into my daily life do I don’t need to think shot it, or carve out time for that.

Do you do rope climbing or bouldering?

Indoors or outdoors?

How long do you run? I tend to get bored while doing any monotonous activity. That’s why I don’t like walking. I run a mile or real regularly. But want to run for longer without getting bored.

Is this an ad for Google?

Or some reviewer suggesting/imploring people to use google?

What is pennyhoarder? I see their articles everywhere. It’s crazy how they have managed to insert themselves so completely.

I am sure more knowledgeable people will provide the right answers. But I think it means that when you set up your own lemmy instance, you need to add the communities to it.

Very cool.

I get this vibe from kroll. I have had multiple companies send me mailing to use kroll monitoring after they have had a security leak.

So it’s doubly concerning. They managed to lose my info and not they want me to use a random shaft looking website to monitor my credit.

A few yards ago I would have said this was staged. But now I can totally believe it.

Edit: was reading the first response in my inbox and wondering what the guy was talking about. Then reread my comment and noticed the typo. Leaving it up now because I don’t think without the typo my comment would have seen this level of engagement.

So what happened next? It “was” dealing with complaints. And now?

This is pretty incredible news.

Far as I can recall this is the first significant Union gain in a while.

Which makes me wonder which way will go from here.

A) Amazon drivers will get similar benefits? B) UPS will never again put themselves in the position where they fall behind Amazon competitively.

As interesting as this read was. I learned a new word today. Cabotage.

Never would have heard of it without reading the article. Thank you.

Waiting to hear how this plays out. But I feel this will end up being a non issue.

To think there was hope just 25 years ago of a conflict free world.

Why would a woman’s group hand her over to the men?

I was thinking of that. By this guy I’d also the one that is associated with spaceX, Sterling, neuralink and Tesla.

Even if he is only a marketer or a shill or just lucky or whatever; I recognize the fact that not everyone is that lucky or ‘in the right place at the right time’ that often. So there’s got to be something he is doing right.

And that then leads me to wondering, how do you handle that? As a public figure, everything he fits is open to the world, but do you any I always make perfect decisions 100% of the times? And do we really expect anyone to make perfect decisions all the time?

If him and bezos were thinking of always being right, they simply wouldn’t be where they are today. And then you can make the argument that maybe we would have been better off. But what’s to say there wouldn’t have been someone else?

Sorry, didn’t mean to get all philosophical, but I am getting to ignoring billionaires shenanigans than trying to understand the reasoning. Just like I ignore the life of the other 99.9% of the world.

That’s interesting. Guess now you can have farming and solar on the same land?
