so how many multi billion dollar companies have you "lucked" into? Your view of what is required to be a leader is childish. It's not just about luck but hard work. Most people are lazy and don't have a vision. JB had the vision and he payed the price to build the thing.
Negro....
Have you seen the Olympics? The world's finest, who dedicate their entire life and being to excellency. Of these, 1 wins the gold.
The others are still exceptional excellent athletes.
Amazon isn't the first online store. It almost certainly wasn't the best, and if it was, it was the best by 0.01%. Then the money started coming in, and snowballing. Literally lucked into billions.
Could it have been me? No. But it could've been one of the other
TENS OF THOUSANDS of intelligent hard working men doing the same sort if thing around the same sort of time. And if Bezos had read your posts, and died of laughter at your childish worldview, one of the other competent online stores with a hard working founder CO would've lucked into wealth, and would've used the wealth to develop, and from there its smooth sailing.
Bezos isn't the most hard working, most intelligent man alive, and even if he were, he isn't X times as smarter and harder working than your dentist, where X is the difference in wealth. Ergo, wealth is not distributed according to merit, because billionaires have outsized wealth, which doesn't match their relative merit.
And, I can't stress this enough, everyone knows this. Children know this. Dogs know this. Libertarians are the last animals on this planet that don't know it.
