THE GUARDIAN: Change.org effort has gathered tens of thousands of signatures / Bezos to go into space in July on first human Blue Origin flight
A growing group of earthlings is banding together in an effort to keep Jeff Bezos off the planet, after he leaves it in late July.
By Monday morning, more than 77,000 had signed a petition on Change.org demanding the Amazon founder be kept from returning to Earth after participating in the first human space flight launched by his company Blue Origin.
“Billionaire’s [sic] should not exist … on earth, or in space, but should they decide the latter they should stay there,” read the description accompanying the petition, which was addressed “to the proletariat”.
In May, Bezos was named the second-richest person in the world, with a net worth of $186bn. » | Sarah Betancourt | Tuesday, June 22, 2021
