On the one hand, it makes huge sense for Jeff #Bezos to pour millions into a company seeking the secret to eternal life. Karmic reincarnation may only be an outside possibility. But Jeff should hedge against the likelihood that under that scenario, he’s coming back as a Yemeni woman.
Further developments in fauxlanthropy for the #Amazon overlord, then, who has decided that death is as inevitable as taxes. Which is to say: not at all inevitable for the likes of him. Bezos was this month reported to be a significant investor in Altos Labs, an #age-reversal firm which is on the scientific quest for #immortality. Among other expansions, it is thought the firm will now open a lab within the #UK, which I think you’ll agree means so much more to our nation than a fair #tax contribution from Amazon. You know we’d only spend that shit on social care or the #NHS or something, when Jeff can see it’s far better for us to get people on ordinary incomes to pay extra for all that, so that guys like him are freed up to spaff their money on Earth’s most preposterous midlife crises.
