Blue Origin

From what I can find At least $2.5 billion. So maybe kirkland branded Dr. Evil (musk) is better at spending then Temu Dr. Evil.

You must not be from around Seattle.

Kirkland is basically a suburb of Seattle.

If anything Bezos/Amazon, which started around Seattle and now basically owns an entire section of the city, is Kirkland Brand.

Blue Origin has most of their facilities in the Seattle area as well.

Its the Costco store brand, not really relating it to a city in a foreign nation. But the reason bazos is Temu brand is just since its funny. Feel free to call them <insert what ever> brand Dr. evils though.

…Costco, ie the Kirkland Brand, started in Kirkland WA, a suburb of Seattle.

You are from another country though, so I can’t have expected you would know, it just pains me as I am from Seattle and am constantly astounded by Americans who think they know things about the region and very obviously do not.

Like, if there was any real PNW people, they’d read what I’ve written above and argue about how Kirkland is its own city, or, its really a suburb of Bellevue, etc.

To use another PNW saying:

Well, whatever, nevermind.
