TALK of your own. in NIGERIA, your officials are LOOTING it and becoming BILLIONAIRES!
BEZOS did not loot his own. HE WORKED FOR it!

This is very bad for the world economy, it only goes to show one thing... wealth is not evenly being spread.

The past where coys set up in foreign nations to make sales thereby giving employments and building infrastructures is gone, now FX is taken with a simple cellphone and data, while shipping to your doorstep

The multinationals would keep leaving and taking advantage of technology, rather than the give and take balance the world once had.

At this rate, Africa might be re-colonised again if urgent actions are not taken.

I perfectly understand you, but with trade, there should always be a balance...

I see countries forcing to localize franchise on Amazon in the nearest future.

No matter how many human beings you sacrifice for ritual, you can never make such in 567,895 years to come

No matter how many countries you "Bomb" as an internet fraudster, you can never make such amount in 685, 876 years to come.

No matter the numbers of Academical Degrees you've obtained, you will never make such money in 757,875 years to come.

No matter the amount of fasting and prayers you offer, you can never make such money in 864,085 years.

market capitalisation is different from real value....Nigeria isn't on stock na

amazon's net income is just chicken change to what Nigeria earn from oil
I value country based on the GDP... and that's how they compare it... 2 things determine how powerful a country is
1. Economy value(gdp)
2. Military strength( defences budget)
3. Currency

Judging by no 1 which is the main comparison amazon would buy Nigeria almost 3 times.. no living being or establishment is richer than Bezos or amazon

The Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge. Its sad even by reading this line my fellow Nigerians will still not understand.

All the scam paper billionaires..Bezoz, Zuckerberg Elon Musk (King scammer), and Bill Gates (Spy scammer)

Its funny how Bill Gates only owns less than 3% of Microsoft, and has never invented anything tangible since 1998, but still is getting richer...ahahaha

Advanced countries invest in propaganda. For example, the Nazi were printing rumors that Hitler could shoot layers by pointing his finger. Propaganda is a way to keep everyone under you

Americans survive everyday by lying to the whole world non-stop, but Americans will never lie to themselves bcuz they know better not to drink the poison they giving everybody. Jeff Bezoz is not even worth up to $10B. All you have to do is pull up Amazon's 10K quarterly reports and Estimate their total valuation.

All this nonsense u hear about all these fake scammer paper billionaires is propaganda from their media houses and the American government to keep the dollar stronger than your own.

A strong dollar means they can buy ur goods cheap, and keep u under their control forever, along with ur kids and grandchildren.

This Bernie Sanders is a very stupid socialist... How can you punish the people that have worked hard, taken risks and invested their time and energy just because they got the natural reward of intelligent effort? Worse still, Bernie Sanders is a bloody rich man, actually a millionaire or may be a billionaire sef... But the old fool is saying nobody should make money despite providing goods and services + employment!!
In socialist thinking, everyone should be poor and yet stuff should be shared for free to the fucking poor.
Sanchez01:
As at yesterday, Jeff Bezos net worth was $199.7 Billion. Today, his net worth is $204 billion, meaning he made $200 million in 24hrs; during a pandemic when the world has been halted and most businesses impacted.

Populism benefits the rich, no doubt. Amazon doesn't give warehouse workers paid sick leave. Cost for 2 weeks sick leave: $480M, or 0.6% of fortune Bezos added this year. It cut $2/hour hazard pay. Cost: $140M/month, 0.2% of fortune added.

A disturbing trend is the the federal reserve, which sets the precedence of inflated stock market prices, and account for most of Jeff Bezos' wealth. Abolishing this will beat down inflated stock market prices and prevent this grotesque figure. Getting wealthier during a pandemic looks like something that is realistic only in sci-fis.

This backs my concern...

Bloghomies:


Only fools believe that everything is a gamble, and please desist if you're an addict.

That being said, entrepreneurship is not a gamble. It only becomes a gamble if you fail to do your homework.

Before you exploit an opportunity, there are factors to be addressed to ensure you take a calculated risk.

It isn't gambling if you've done your homework.

But unfortunately, most aspiring entrepreneurs prefer to start a business without a feasibility study, business plan, or even core knowledge of the business.

When you start a business without having a detailed overview of your industry or target market, you're like a blindfolded businessman at the mercy of luck.

Most often, they all fail. Entrepreneurship isn't a gamble, but rather a game of smartness, skill and knowledge!

Dude everything in this life is a gamble...a little reasoning with prove it. Jesus came to die for a mankind who are heavy laden with a desperately wicked heart. He died for a Peter who denied Him 3 times to His face. It was a mega gamble Jesus played there because there is the possibility that only 1% of all human population from Adam to the last human will accept His sacrifice and be saved.

Entrepreneurship is a mega gamble. You are staking resources in a business idea based on scanty information of the past and present oblivious of the changes to the business environment that could happen in the next 6 months.

As long as you agree that uncertainty and risk are a core component of practically everything on earth then you also agree that every bloody thing is a gamble...a wise gambler will just try to put probabilities to decisions to minimize risk instead of plunging into uncertainty!

You need to study [url="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/210642121_Decision_Theory_A_Brief_Introduction"] Decision theory [/url] and get schooled!

Dubbed "The King of Cocaine," Escobar is the wealthiest criminal in history, having amassed an estimated net worth of US $30 billion by the time of his death—equivalent to $59 billion as of 2019—while his drug cartel monopolized the cocaine trade into the United States in the 1980s and 1990s....

Highest he can reach in 2020 is 100b$... he can never be richer than Bezos

Correction. He made $4B in 24hrs. That is about $200m in 1 hr. You need to be aware the money is raised by increased in his company shares and not from direct sales. He can be a trilionaire if the share increased by a multiple of five.
