    That’s a pretty stupid conclusion to draw. You have no idea why the hedge fund passed on the investment, and the only reason you conclude it’s because Bezos was bad at his job is because you personally don’t like him. And more to the point, because you want to get upvoted in this thread.

    It’s just an amateurish, embarrassing argument. If you want to skewer billionaires there are plenty of legitimate gripes, but it’s self-evident that most billionaires are pretty damn good at their jobs, hence the success. Sure they’re also lucky and privileged, but there are tons of other people with the same privileges that accomplish nothing.

    This meme is just pure brain rot tbh. Do better Lemmy 😤

          My argument has a lot more evidence behind it than the usual “people get rich because they worked harder,” at least.

              Bezos didn’t get rich by working harder, though. No billionaires ever did. That’s what I mean to convey—to everybody in a public forum and not just one commenter—and I’m right. Throwing insults doesn’t change it.

      Ha ha. Clearly the avg lemmy user is inexperienced or business ignorant. The site does lean heavy Marxist, which says plenty of their reasoning skills. I was thinking the same thing as you and you’re getting skewered for it. Hedge funds are not looking for a 20+ year ROI, which is what it took Bezos. That’s the simplest answer I can think of, but I’m sure there’s plenty more reasons they didn’t think young Bezos’ idea was worth throwing millions at.

        Bud you think China is going to try to invade Taiwan, maybe you need some marxism in your life.

        Or you could keep being uneducated to the point of gullibility, your choice.

        Maybe he’s just sick of the “this person is immoral so they must also be bad at their job and stupid too!” Bullshit that lemmy is so fond of.

        Bezos is a cancer, but if he wasn’t good at his job then he would be on the trash pile with the other failed business owners. You can be an asshole and intelligent, it’s crazy, I know.
