Jeff Bezos torches Mamdani over $43B poured into mismanaged NYC schools — claims Amazon would be disaster if run same way

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos torched Mayor Zohran Mamdani over the Big Apple’s sky-high school spending – touting that if his behemoth retail business ran like the city’s public school system, New Yorkers would be waiting weeks for their packages.

The billionaire on Wednesday ripped the democratic socialist mayor for dumping a record $43 billion into the mismanaged education system, fuming that New York City spends a whopping $44,000 per pupil – about 30% more than other major US cities – despite abysmal test scores and plummeting enrollment.

Bezos claimed that even doubling his billion-dollar taxes wouldn’t help a teacher in Queens – while Mamdani snapped back that he knows some educators who “would beg to differ.”
