Nah, rich people don't buy drugs themselves. They have people or that and I'm sure with his interest in horses as a medium of exchange he has good access to vets.

More likely Mr. Bezos had a few choice words. Amazon is crammed with drop shippers now as well, that’s a lot of low-effort commissions.

Amazon is legitimately worse to buy things from than eBay now, endless randomly generated 6-8 character brand names and everyone has to act like YICEN are a genuine manufacturer of fixings.

There's a cable brand on there called Aioneus which, well nobody has pronounced it in English before choosing it.

If it makes you feel any better we're just outsourcing our environment destroying pollution to China, so really we're enjoying cheap crap at the expense of poisoning people we'll never meet.

I mean, the CO2 emissions are going to get us all, but in the mean time it's not our kids eating rice that's full of cobolt so whatever gotta have my $15 40,000 MAh power bank from BAIFASL IUUNAIIT QUIBLAX AIEVXUS.

I think more than anything his channel has become a great education on why community living was so crucial to human development. If you only have yourself to do everything you're going to spend most of your time with upkeep, and you cannot scale the necessary amount for the simple size requirements of us as creatures.

A more permanent structure would absolutely be better, but the amount of materials, time, and effort it would take to do so, and then to upkeep that structure, makes it less feasible. Especially when you consider his history of fires and storms destroying his work.
