š¶On the 2nd day of #PrimeDay the Dutch gave to me, a billionaire's mega yacht that canāt get to seaš¶
ā
ā#JeffBezo' new $500M #superyacht is stuck after plans to dismantle a historic bridge in Rotterdam to give it passage were halted due to public outrage.
When we collectively decide we've had enough, there's nothing that the oligarchs & the ultrarich can do about itā - @diem25.org
ā
ā#Bezos wont be able to sail a new, 400+ foot #superyacht through the Dutch city of Rotterdam anytime soon. The port city faced an uproar months ago as it considered dismantling a section of a 95-year-old bridge to allow the #Amazon founderās yacht to pass. But now the boatās builder has decided to refrain from applying for a permit. It was unclear how Bezosā yacht would leave the area or whether Oceanco would finish the boat.ā - @NYTimes
ā
āIf Bezos can afford a:
ā“$500M superyacht
āļø$177M Beverly Hills estate
š$78M Maui estate
š«$23M DC mansion w/ 25 š½
šrocket ship
He can afford to recognize the @AmazonLaborUnion & negotiate a fair first contract.ā - @BernieSanders
ā
āClass warfare is Amazon:
š Making a record-breaking $36B profit last year
š Avoiding $5B in taxes
š Paying an effective federal income tax rate of 6%
While Bezos spends his fortune on:
š„Union-busting
šFlying to space
ā“Protecting his $500 million #yachtā - Warren Gunnels
ā
āLet's not forget. Amazon blamed "inflation" on a 17% price hike in a Prime membership after its profits soared 450% since the š·to a record $38B while avoiding $5B in #taxes, spending $4M on #union busting & denying workers paid sick leave.ā - @BernieSanders

āFrom šrides & private š©, to multiple homes, the ultra-rich are responsible for the majority of emissions. āThe šās richest 1% cause DOUBLE the emissions of the poorest 50%ā - @OxfamAmerica. Theyāre the ones destroying the š. So they need to pay for fixing it. #TaxTheRich to fund the investments we need in our neighborhoods & š.
ā
While weāre sweating it out in the city during 1 of the hottest summers on record, the people creating the majority of pollution & profiting the most from the destruction of the šare relaxing in the #Hamptons.
