    “No cause the people would decide not to buy that.”

    You mean, like, collectively? Maybe they would organize against Bezos doing that?

      He literally tried to say that. "People would just not buy from him." Like bro, he owns everything and you're now a feudal serf living on his land.

        If there was a king I just would simply not allow him primae noctis

          "He couldn't buy MY LAND because I wouldn't sell it to him."

          You own it or you pay mortgage?

          "Mortgage but I own it."

          Says who?

          "My bank an I have a contract."

          Who would enforce that contract?

          "The police."

          Who pays them?

          ".............."

          Why couldn't Jeff buy the bank, and use a private police force to evict you?

          "I'd shoot them."

          Ok

          I even tried to suggest that he might stand a chance if the whole town worked to protect the land collectively, but he called that communist soooooooooooooooooo

          These people live in a LARP, but we already knew that.
