"Transportation costs" are set to skyrocket this year

SEATTLE – Amazon’s Prime membership will become more expensive starting 2023 as the company cites inflation, growing wages, and transportation costs to justify the price increases.

However, insiders reveal that a plan is in progress to build a superyacht for Amazon founder Jeff Bezos along San Francisco Bay that may include the dismantling of the Golden Gate bridge.

After successfully dismantling the Koningshaven Bridge in Rotterdam, Amsterdam in order to build a luxury yacht, Bezos was able to create jobs by the construction while taking over the port’s logistics and shipping operations for Amazon’s supply chain.

Inspired by the outcome, despite public outcry, Bezos plans to build a superyacht along San Francisco Bay.

Amazon would use the port for their shipping operations and foot the bill by increasing the Prime membership fees. Bezos also plans to use the yacht as a hideaway to steer clear of employee protests and climate activists as Amazon comes under pressure to improve working conditions and calls to commit to environmental sustainability.

When reached for a comment about his plan to build the superyacht, Bezos replied, “If Senator Manchin can do it, so should a private citizen such as myself,” citing West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin who famously and shamelessly hid on his 65 feet long yacht for 3 weeks from protestors for opposing the infrastructure and healthcare expansion bill.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
