The napkin diagram is interesting and illustrative

The philosophy, not so much. The foresight, real or made up along the way is amazing either way. Bezo's was the right guy at the right time. Can this beast live forever? Yet to be seen.............

The world's best business...run by the world's most innovative businessman.

If only Bezos could be persuaded to run for president...

If only Bezos could be persuaded to run for president...He spends too much on R&D for the tea party.

We need to be more like Europe where the respect for Entrepreneurship has produced most of the biggest tech companies in the world.

I don't know... he might have a point.

Tea Party is for smaller gov. If Bezos orders a lot of spending this would go against smaller government.

But I will admit that even arguing about this seems silly. Forgot I even mentioned it. :D

Bezos is the federal government of the corporate world --- spend, spend, spend, spend, and never make a profitable dime in the process.

From now on I'll refer to him as Jeff Maynard Keynes Bezos.

You know that eye that appears on the dollar bill -- the Eye of Providence -- that's Tom's eye. Not many people know that, but it's true.
