What the **** did I just read?#1 - the government involved in marriage is a sham in the first place. Anyone justifying this nonsense by touting "its da law" are f'n geeks, snakes in the grass, or buffoons.
#2 - I have no problems with Mrs. Bezos in the first place...but there is nothing on planet earth she could have done to justify THIRTY SIX BILLION DOLLARS riding this Adrian Veidt level super villian's coattails morally, ethically, or anything beyond the horrendous legal system in this country. If Jeff Bezos wanted to cut her a check because he still loves her and felt some obligation to drop a bag on her...more power to him and hats off...
But given a state-ordered mandate to cut a check for THIRTY SIX BILLION DOLLARS?
The second largest divorce settlement was only ONE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS...Mac Bezos got THIRTY TIMES that? Man, get lost if you support the finessing of this man's fortune.
This situation + the attempted take down of Joe Biden this past week got your boy very mad about the state of affairs in this country.
When someone says "it's the law" it doesn't mean they necessarily support it. You may need to sit down for this, but your typical citizen doesn't get to CHOOSE the laws that apply to them. There are laws in place decided by others, and until those laws are changed, they apply to everyone. So a non-working spouse gets 50% of marital property under Florida law. Period. You don't have to be a "f'in geek, snake in the grass, or buffoon" to simply point out what the law is.
There was no state or court ordered mandate for Bezos to cut a check for $36 billion. The parties reached a settlement out of court. Nothing was forced on either of them. Having said that, if it went to court, the wife probably would have ended up with much more than $36 billion.
