It's time the world got together and dealt with the billionaires for once and all. Banning them from politics would be a good start.

Yeah, it's truly ridiculous. Imagine if Bezos was saying parts were wasted on laptops and pcs and were hindering the cloud buildout. Hell, if personal pcs and laptops were invented after the cloud and were dominated by Chinese companies I suppose we would be accusing China of stealing US data center hardware IP and prevent pcs and laptops from being built in the US to prevent them competing with the US cloud.

I get the argument, and I agree with much of it. But the author loses points with me by using the term bastard , and derogatorily at that. Implying that a child born out of wedlock is of less value than one born in wedlock is silly. It reduces to judging someone for something wholly out of their control, while at the same time yelling, "Marriage (hence Church and Government) good! No marriage bad!" What an antiquated mentality.
