"This episode of 6 Minute English was originally published ..." -- guys it was the second time in a row you were giving an incorrect link. What's the matter, is it so difficult to double check it?

Jeff Bezos on the right side of history !? Are you kidding
after tons of infractions he had after making blue origin not because of humanity but because of aristocracy after he built the biggest yacht in the world and wasted an astronomical amount of money on it just because of pleasure !.
and he wants it to take the historical bridge apart and dimental it
