41. He sold his soul, shit on Katherine Graham's legacy, all for what? To protect amazon?

His destruction of WaPo -- the self-inflicted drop in subscribers, starting with blocking WaPo's presidential endorsement, and following up with instance after instance of kowtowing to the felon -- has all been to protect Amazon's stock price and his equity state.

Some way, somehow, we must expand the boycott of Amazon until it is big enough to do far more damage to him than Trump ever could have. It is tough. I've been working on my step-father to cancel his subscription and buy direct from merchants. He is still too addicted to the convenience and likes Prime Video. Arrrggghhh. Makes me crazy. While some people are losing their lives to the regime propped up by the likes of Bezos and other corporate bootlickers, others can't bring themselves to sacrifice a little convenience.
