‘Venice is worn out’: locals see Jeff Bezos wedding as symbol of city’s ills

Not this bridge, though. I’m from Rotterdam, and the only time it has been dismantled in recent times was for maintenance. After this, the city promised it wouldn’t be dismounted again - as I said, this bridge is considered very iconic by Rotterdammers. Naturally it leads to sentimental reactions when some rich fucker thinks he can just have it dismantled so his big fat private ship can pass through.

Honestly not so uncommon with inland shipyards. Bridges etc. are built to deal with everyday traffic while the shipyard might only send out a ship per year or such so it's fine having to do some manual work to get it past infrastructure.

E.g. the 2006 European blackout was caused by the operators messing up the comparatively routine shutdown of a power crossing. The lines are high enough so that the cruise ships the shipyard builds can drive under them, barely, but they can't be energised while doing so.

That's not to defend Bezos having a yacht, billionaires shouldn't exist, but this probably happens with any other ship that the shipyard builds. Not to mention the uncountable number of street signs which have been temporarily dismantled to let windmill blades through.

Who said I was joking? I've *lived* it. :)

Boomer joke

Yeah but America

If anything, their employees should have gotten more

They married in 1993, a year before the founding, and she worked with Jeffy Boi from day one founding the company.

He didn't lose shit in the divorce, she got her fair share of the company she helped build.

If anything she should have gotten more.

Fucker still has $220 BN, he not hard-up for cash

First time he lost money because he married before becoming a billionaire, this time he'll probably prenup really really hard

Why is divorce so expensive?

Because it's worth it.

Surprised he married again so quickly after he lost so much money to the last one.

All I care about is that kind man having a good time. How dare ordinary people expect ordinary actions from... someone should have shot him.

This reminds me of when there were plans to have part of an iconic (now no longer used) railway bridge in Rotterdam temporarily dismounted because Bezos’ superyacht being built elsewhere in the Netherlands wouldn’t fit through otherwise. There were calls to wait for it on another bridge in the city with tomatoes.

Luckily, this didn’t actually end up happening, but that it was seriously considered, was bad enough.

Luigi 2 ?

Omg that guy got old

And nobody cares that his wife looks like artificial 40-ish
