A $50 million dollar “Piece of Cake?”
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez got married this weekend in Venice. The rumored cost is $50 million. I don’t know how much in expenses the couple is treating their guests to, but the 3 day extravaganza is making news all over the world.
There have been scattered protests in Venice and threats to put fake alligators in the canals for reasons that escape me. (I’d protest against Sánchez’s hideous wedding dress. The long row of buttons goes down the back of the dress, not the front, Sweetie). I’m not sure what Bezos was wearing. I really don’t care.
The guest list is filled with Kardashians, Kushners, Oprah, and other semiclassy people.
But who is paying for this nonsense? I have a feeling it will be paid for by money Bezos will get if Congress passes Trump’s “BBB” this summer. That tacky wedding dress is just one reason I don’t want to pay for this wedding.
“Let them eat cake” is the only possible retort from the Bezoses.
We all pay for it if we patronize Amazon. “Oh” the refrain is now. “Just get it on Amazon.” Ya, the vendor pays dearly for being on Amazon. I bought my last stuff on Amazon then took advantage of a $50 offer reduced on a product if I signed up to something some kind of specialty card. So I took the offer, got my free thing for $50. After a few weeks, I deleted all cards and my account. Never again. I can buy everything direct. Don’t feed the monster.
