Did Bezos write it himself?

He is just telling the truth, instead of lying like most politicians and WaPo writers do.

Who knew?

who could afford to rent 4,000,000 1 bedroom apartments in Manhattan for 1 year.

If he actually did that ( assuming there were 4M 1 bedroom apts to be rented in Manhattan ), he would get to spend 8 seconds in each ( assuming zero transit time to the next apartment ).

It's always good to have fun with math.

Ya know that old saying, when you're used to privilege, equality looks like oppression? Jeff Bezos' class suddenly is starting to feel oppressed by the possibility that they might not get to keep all the goodies for a change.

This is fun.

Any Democrat who gives them fits is doing, saying THE RIGHT THING.

Blow it out your ass, WAPO.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it comes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group. We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace -business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering. They had begun to consider the government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that government by organized money is just as dangerous as government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me - and I welcome their hatred."

The same populist sentiment is present today.

NY Times is a rag.

Why does anyone consume media sources owned and controlled by billionaires?

Washington Post - owned by right wing billionaire.

CBS - owned by right wing billionaire.

Viacom - owned by right wing billionaire.

Comcast - owned by right wing billionaire.

There is no liberal media. It's a myth. It's a lie. It's been sold to the masses for 40 years.

Not sure why anyone on the left still subscribes to the paper anymore. It’s garbage. And Bezos made it very clear a few months ago that its editorial slant would shift to favor free markets and libertarianism.

And Bezos does not favor free markets. He favors monopolies, of which he sits on top of. And he favors corruption of markets through bribing the officials/Trump to help Bezos' businesses, to the detriment of other businesses. Billionaires are the last people on earth who want actual level playing fields or truly free markets.

Bezos learned after the AWS/JEDI contract fiasco that it’s best not to fight the power (even tepidly). His shift and that of all the Silicon Valley CEOs has been interesting. From being critics of Trump to absolute sycophants, they’re all opportunists to the core.

Meanwhile, here's the AI summary of the comments

That’s how they talk. Bezos is talking to his buddies. Not us.

Just go fuck all of the way off with that shit.

If you scroll down you see it's like the cry of the wealthy's parasite class. They need only appease their benefactors. It has little to do with journalism.

And Fuck Yourself.

Sounds a lot like Van Jones at CNN.
Wonder whose driving these talking points?

I am also glad I cancelled by subscription. That is truly awful.

Today's billionaire class is strikingly similar to the weathly/influential class of the 1920s. Americans are reactiing to the income disparity, "interlocking directorates" and self-deaing that defined the 1920s then as they are to the same factors playing out today.

In the books epilog, Sorokin relates what ultimately happened to the rich bankers and company founders. To my surprise, many ended up with little of wealth they'd accumulated left. But I doubt today's billionaires are interested in learning from history. They are just as greedy as their 1920s counterparts.

They have declared war on us, and they will not back down. I hope everyone is prepared for what is coming.

His new wife looks like a real life copy of a sex doll. Just saying, very weird. I think all his billions and the WaPo platform have brought out the 'weird' in him.
