Without taxpayer dollars, all those trucks carrying Bezos’ profits would be bumping along dirt roads getting stuck in the mud and skidding into ditches. The pilots of the cargo planes carrying Amazon boxes would be arguing with each other about who gets to take off first and which plane gets to fly which azimuth at what altitude from Chicago to Reno. Two or three mid-air collisions later, & people would be left to line up at Walmart to buy their boxer shorts and bras from Vietnam & Bangladesh, shipped to the store on the same taxpayer-funded roads used by Bezos’ trucks.

The iron in the trucks’ diesel engines, the aluminum sides of the trailers and the shipping containers filled with washing machines and refrigerators? All of it trucked from steel and aluminum producers to factories and from there to Home Depot or Lowes or Best Buy, so the wealthy men who own those stores pull down their millions & billions courtesy of the American taxpayer https://luciantruscott.substack.com/p/the-jeff-bezos-big-lie-about-the
