The average American is looking at a future of economic uncertainty and struggle thanks to a tidal wave of Trump's erratic, harmful, uninformed
policies. Consumers have been warned to expect
higher prices on goods thanks to Trump's tariffs. Massive waves of layoffs of federal employees are
driving up the unemployment rate. Cruel deportations are not only targeting vulnerable people and splitting up families; they will directly
drive up the cost of things like construction, hospitality, and agriculture, of which migrant workers are the backbone.
And yet, in the face of all this struggle and worry, billionaire (soon to be trillionaire)
Jeff Bezos isn't using his immense wealth to help or problem solve -- he's using it to send celebrities to space.Sign the petition and tell Blue Origin founder Jeff Bezos stop investing in space tourism and start investing in things that actually matter!It was recently announced that
Jeff Bezos will be sending popstar Katy Perry on an 11-minute journey to space, along with his girlfriend Lauren Sanchez and "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King. Blue Origin, Bezos' space technology company, doesn't disclose how much these frivolous, pointless trips to space cost. But with tickets ranging from $250,000 to $500,000,
it's likely the cost to launch a single one of these rockets is in the millions.Jeff Bezos is clearly a close confidant of Trump's -- he was spotted in the front row of his inauguration after Amazon, another of Bezos' companies, donated a million dollars to the inauguration fund. The billionaire also owns the Washington Post, which has come under immense scrutiny for its cowardice in handling Trump's corrupt, dictatorial campaigns and administrations.
So it is no surprise that while Trump dismantles what was once a strong, growing economy, Bezos is busy wasting his wealth on frivolous trips that do nothing for a society at large.
That's why we're targeting Bezos directly. We must come together and let him know just how many of us are watching, and are furious that he would send celebrities and his girlfriend to space while average Americans are struggling and terrified for the future.
Sign the petition and tell Jeff Bezos: no more space tourism while our economy is suffering!
