Hate is a strong word, but modifying hobbyist drones to drop eggs sound like a fun project.

If he is allowed to dismantle a historic bridge, he can also handle a few eggs on his prized possession

Utterly ridiculous when Blue Origin has yet to put a single thing in orbit, and is still unable to deliver any of the BE-4 engines contracted to ULA for the Vulcan Centaur.

anyone who signed off on this should have all their assets confiscated and be sent to jail.

Just the plebes bridge to him, not a national landmark. Paint bombs via drone could also be effective. If the yacht is fiberglass, it's finish is very sensitive to lacquer thinner as well.

How about turning it into something positive. The city council should say that's fine Jeff; here are our terms. The bridge is dismantled and then restored to the exact condition whatever the cost which has to be met by Bezos .. plus he has to set up a charity to support entrepreneurs/small businesses for not less than 20 years and to fund it with $50M per year (index linked) and he has to mentor at least 2 aspiring entrepraneurs per year for 20 years or until he retires (which he never will coz egos like him never do)

I can't think of any reasons to like, or dislike, or think about Jeff at all. Hatin on rich people is usually just envy. It's not Jeff's bridge, so I suppose the owners will do what they want with it.

I'm curious who built the boat in a harbor with no way out. Sounds like one of those engineering failures.

i dont care that someone is rich. heck maybe i am as well. what i do hate is when rich pricks get bailed out by government or they get special treatment from government... i hate the government as it's their fault they roll the red carpet out for this idiot.

The problem isn't rich pricks buying politicians, it's the whore politicians that sell themselves. For the rich pricks it's just business. We should have higher standards for pols, but we're pretty selective.

yep at the end of the day it is the politicians fault but he is a prick for taking advantage of it. there is no pride on what he does.
