I mean, I don't care if he stays rich or not. He will. But I don't need to spend money on either of his business ventures. Plenty of other options, mostly local, small shops and farmers markets. Hopefully, people rediscover them too.

He did however completely tarnished his image, and if you see what is happening to Tesla, I think he is not that immune.

I give all of you who are upset with Bezos a maximum of one month before you start ordering from Amazon again.

I suspect they have no plans to stop ordering from Amazon.

(I haven't ordered from Amazon in years, and I haven't canceled my Post subscription. I hate one business model and am OK with the other)

Most probably ordered something from Prime within minutes of unsubscribing from WP.

I don’t think consumers as a whole care about “tarnished” image. Actions speak louder than words and rarely are they aligned.

Their website traffic was 140 million hits in April 2020. It's now less than 55 million hits.

How many journalists does that equal?

Fascinating that the liberal response here will ensure that progressive reporters for the most liberal national newspaper in the country will lose their jobs.

These folks would rather destroy this liberal news media company that’s the equivalent of the MSNBC of newspapers rather than countenance not even a contrary opinion but a neutral opinion.

I have a strong feeling that if Harris loses, the Democratic Party could very well destroy itself.

Well said.

The “200k cancelations” is fake news, according to Wapo editor. And it really begs this question, are digital news sub counts being influenced by unscrupulous actors?

How can any business that relies on subscription not know how many they have now vs a week ago?

???

He didn’t say the number wasn’t accurate. He said he “doesn’t know” the number.

Don’t worry. Demorats are working hard to get amnesty for millions of new voters
