Dear Jeff Bezos

     Dear Jeff Bezos,
     Mind if I call you Jeff? Lord knows you’re being called a lot worse these days. But then I expect that even you would agree that you may have made some less than admirable choices lately. And not particularly smart choices, either, like sexting with your married girlfriend Lauren Sanchez.; 

...jeepers, isn’t that what loopy-brained teenagers do?

     Aw, well, it's true that love can make you a little loopy-brained. I know. Been there and done that myself. Well, not the sexting, of course.
       But who loves you, now, Jeff? Your soon-to-be ex-wife of 25 years who found you out? 

​       Oh well, we all found you out, of course, thanks to the National Enquirer, which published the story and the sex pictures - that is, the ones that weren't too steamy even for for the National Enquirer - that you and your girlfriend exchanged.

     Which also begs the question: If Lauren Sanchez loves and cares for you so much how come she forwarded those intimate love notes and nude pics you sent her to her girlfriends? One or more of whom tattled to the National Enquirer?
     I don't think Lauren's girlfriends must love you all that much, either.
     And then besides your relationship woes and the public reveal of your sexting there's all the hate you're receiving from the citizens of New York City and of other cities as well who consider you a robber baron extortionist for your demands to be courted by them with billions in tribute money before you'll decide which city to choose for your new second Amazon headquarters.  
     Then to top it all off you've got a hapless sixteen-year-old who's being used by wealthy political operatives to sue your newest acquisition, the Washington Post, for $250 million dollars.

   So here you are, Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, but surely not at this moment the happiest. And definitely not the most loved or admired.
     But I have an idea for you that could change all that and turn around your life and your legacy.
           Actually it was my nephew Randy who came up with the idea,    ​

...during Sunday night supper.

    His idea was this: That you should build your Amazon 2 headquarters not in whichever city offers you the most money and the least grief, but in Detroit. Imagine it, all the jobs, not only the 25,000 Amazon corporate positions, but all the other jobs: the construction jobs, the maintenance jobs, the security jobs, the service jobs, the restaurants and retail stores that would come to the city, the rise in prices and desirability of housing, all the tax dollars that would pour into the city - of course you wouldn't require a tax abatement for Amazon or any other freebies from Detroit - to replenish the city's meager coffers, money that could revitalize schools, parks, infrastructure and all the city services and potential tourist attractions. An Amazon headquarters would be a renaissance for the city and you would go down in history as the man who saved Detroit.
     Think of how loved you would be by the people of Detroit, how respected by everyone else, how admired. Think of how good you would feel. And you'd still be rich.
