@TedTed296136@detarebil It allowed Amazon to operate at a loss for the first several years while Bezos undercut everyone on the planet. The goal wasn't to sell the most books. The goal was to price out everyone. Bezos did that by having his rich parents pay his bills while he destroyed book stores
Bezos's stepfather was a multi-millionaire. So was his father. His grandfather was the first director at DARPA. He had every single institutional & familial advantage & was making a ton on Wall St when Amazon launched. This re-write is just pathetic
Jeff Bezos was born to a teenage single mother who worked during the day and had to take him with her to night classes, and later she gave him her $247K life savings to help start Amazon, now worth about $2.65 trillion. ππ½π°
@JPlk411@cblazblaz No, but you're momentarily bummed by how poorly you communicate. I've seen crows do better. Do you have any idea how tiny a crow's brain is? Lol good luck, kiddo
@an_sionnach_ban If my rich parents subsidized my business while I operated at a loss for years until my grandfather's connections built AWS & secured government contracts, I'd act like I built the business too
@JPlk411@cblazblaz No, but you very nearly managed to type a sentence in English without errors. That's marked improvement. Soon, you'll be caught up to third graders
@TedTed296136@detarebil Besides the Wall St/ DE Shaw connections? I'd guess the quarter million dollar loan, the DARPA grandfather, and a stepfather with direct connections to Exxon eces didn't hurt
@JohnBoudet Not even Miguel Bezos goes this far in downplaying his own success & economic prosperity. Why lie for someone who doesn't care who you are?
@JohnBoudet Yes. Every Exxon engineer is penniless. Certainly the ones who'd been working for them for 30 years. "Life savings?" Pure fiction unless we're to believe an Exxon engineer could only set aside $550/month over the course of his entire career. Why lie?
@templar2saint@HJam5 I guess thanks for coming back and showing everyone that you're even more ignorant than we all assumed
Truly, you didn't have to do that, but you did, and it was really stupid
π¨New Luigi Mangione "documentary" includes 2 new CCTV clips of a suspect at the hotel before the sho*ting. We are finally able to see his face&unfortunately it's over..
for NYPD. They got the wrong guy, wrong jackets, & suspect is unrecognizable because CCTV quality is too low
I promise you Rep Anna Paulina Fake Latina is pressing charges as a way to get Code Pink removed from the halls of congress & labeled a dangerous organization. Guaranteed she dealt with more aggressive customers at the strip club without calling in the Federales
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says sheβs pursuing criminal charges for assault. She claims I βsmackedβ her.
What do you think happened?
Watch the video and vote in the comments:
1.β β Yes, you hit her. I hope she got medical attention.
2.β β You barely touched her. This is a ridiculous attempt to criminalize protest.
@templar2saint@HJam5 Funny how it's only the billionaire dick riders who are intentionally missing the point. His backstory is as fake as his new wife's tits. The fact that his mommy & step daddy funded his venture while he was still on Wall St has nothing to do with him needing to lie to kick it
I Cannot Continue Doing My Work Without Your Support
I won't waste your precious time with my sob story, but the reality is I have been struggling for the last year after my pay at The Last American Vagabond was cut to less than half due to frivolous copyright lawsuits Ryan Cristian is facing.
I've done everything I can to survive, to continue writing articles on a monthly basis, to continue releasing empowering and educational interviews, to continue releasing my monthly podcast breaking down the truth behind the big stories of the day, and, most importantly, to promote real solutions.
And yet, despite my best efforts - and lots of positive comments from my supporters - I can barely pay my bills. I need to come up with a new plan to survive and continue doing this important work that means more to me than anything in the world.
So, I am not here to ask for your handouts, or for you to support me monthly without getting something in return.
Instead, I am stepping further into faith and trusting that all of the hard work I've put into my journalism for the last 16 years will pay off and that YOU will help me finally take The Conscious Resistance Network completely independent.
I love working for TLAV, and I've enjoyed working for all the various indie media outlets I've worked for over the last decade, but my dream has always been to work for myself, and to build TCRN as an indie brand.
So here's my plan:
If I can get your financial support, I will continue writing weekly articles and doing video breakdowns of those articles, but, rather than the articles being hosted on someone else's site, they would be exclusive to TCRN. This would ideally drive more traffic to our website, grow our email list, and bring more people to the wealth of work I've produced since 2013.
The major difference between what I am doing now would be that those who sign up for monthly support on Buy Me a Coffee or Substack at $10 a month will be able to vote on my next investigations.
Additionally, those who support at $10 a month will gain access to an exclusive weekly livestream focused on discussing Exit and Build strategies. I will share my ideas and we will hear successes and challenges from the audience.
What do I need to make this happen?
I need to make at least $1500 USD a month in order to make this happen and take TCRN independent.
Right now, between Substack and Buy Me a Coffee, I am making between $6-700 a month. This amount varies depending on whether people cancel, new members sign up, and how much they sign up.
So, if you're currently supporting me on SS or BMAC, please consider upgrading to $10 a month. If you're not supporting at all, please consider signing up at the $10 a month level.
If you can't afford 10 bucks, please consider $5 a month.
If you can't afford five, please just keep reading/watching and SHARING my work with your networks so I can reach new people.
Why should you consider supporting me for $10 a month?
Unlike lots of other creators and platforms with much bigger reach and financial budget, I don't do clickbait, I don't shovel fearporn down your throat, and I only stick to the facts. This seems to be an increasing rarity these days.
Please consider signing up for support on Substack (https://t.co/oGPhVLGi9y)or Buy Me a Coffee (https://t.co/QphPcPKHif).
You can also support by buying a TCRN shirt (https://t.co/yd1msThAVD) or a book (https://t.co/8lqxMF2tUt).
Thanks for the support. I can't do this without you.
