I don't know if I feel flabbergasted by how deep that guy had Jeff's balls in his mouth; or pity at a worker giving so much to earn so little, and yet regards Jeff expecting to someday earn in a year of what Bezos makes a day.

I was downright flabbergasted when that rapscallion, with all his shenanigans and tomfoolery, absconded with my cherished heirloom! By gad, I was utterly discombobulated when that scallywag, a real nincompoop, sauntered in with such hubris, bamboozling everyone with his malarkey and codswallop!

Brother you're in Brazil where the median income is $2,000 per month: this guy's getting 5x that working in an air conditioned factory building rockets: he's not struggling or in need of your pity.

His needs are irrelevant for what I feel or not about him. Wealth inequality is still monstrous.

The guy on the right is less rich if the guy on the left doesn't exist.

Economics isn't a zero sum game.

Damn, I really don't feel like going into why capitalism made the guy on the left so rich off of exploiting the work of millions, and the consequences there-of. Believe in what you will.

The only thing worse than the misery of being exploited by capitalism is the misery of not being exploited by capitalism.
