Bezos is an arrogant monster who has not treated lower level workers well, who gives money to a seditionist/rapist/CONVICTED felon in the White House. He doesn’t mind the mafia style attacks of ICE because Bezos, much like trump, has no empathy, sympathy. He lives in an isolated world of sheer greed.
Bezos paid Melania $40 million for propaganda. Donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. Killed the Harris endorsement. Shifted opinion pages to “free markets” cover. Met with Trump privately. Now gutting 300 jobs: foreign correspondents, investigative teams; while ignoring reporters begging him to intervene.
This isn’t business. It’s compliance.
Amazon needs federal contracts. Blue Origin needs launches. Bezos needs regime protection. The Washington Post is the price.
“Democracy Dies in Darkness” cost nothing when it meant nothing. Now defending democracy threatens his billions, so the paper becomes disposable.
The leverage structure operational. Oligarchs can’t resist. Individual calculation: compliance protects wealth, resistance destroys it.
The Post isn’t dying from financial pressure. It’s being dismantled as demonstration of loyalty. Journalists still appealing to Bezos’s conscience haven’t understood: his conscience is a liability he can’t afford.
Sadly, a lot of smaller businesses have gone to Amazon with their product. Try ordering a book from Goodreads - they send you to Amazon. Too bad we can't cut down/burn this Amazon and leave the real one to its inhabitants.
The world is like 99% of Americans, we hate Child sex by old men, who are 45 to 50 years older than some of the girls who were raped.
The woman who was raped by these monsters years ago, I hope they filea lawsuit for all of the Pedophile men, and take Billions of dollars from these Monsters, and also File a suit against G.Maxwell who is rich herself and comes from a very Wealthy family go for Billions of Dollars from her who took these young girls to meet these old men to be mostested.
I hope all ROT in hell for the damage these monsters have done to these women.
Bozo(not a typo) should sell the newspaper to Trump. He gets his money. Mafia Don can print whatever he likes and will bankrupt it quickly anyway. It’s a win-win-win. Problem solved 🤣🇨🇦
Naive questions: Whatever happened to anti-trust. Was it revoked or trampled to death. And traditional journalism--as it dies will it be (or has it been) supplanted by highly lawyered independent news services that are immune to control by the Bezoses. Will it all fragment, the U.S. become nation-states. Will the NYTimes, the newspaper of record, survive, and how. And where were the investigative journalists while the Epstein files were accumulating. Just a start.
Excellent article! I am at a loss to explain why a once successful businessman helping employ so many would SELL HIS SOUL, literally, to the creature in the White House. I don't get it.
He didn't care that by using books as a loss leader he crushed independent bookstores, putting some out of business who had been owned by the same family for generations. We used to have 25 bookstores in Harvard Square. Now we have five. For this reason I have never bought anything from Amazon.
Same here, Karen. Was he once a good man, a decent human? Is there some inkling of that goodness buried in him that could be persuaded to realize the opportunity he has to do great things in this world?
He's not a great businessman. I bet he used his underlings cruelly. If you don't listen to employees, your business fails...just like the T**** company.
In destroying the Washington Post Jeff Bezos succeeded where Nixon failed. The entire sports section was eliminated at a time of game fixing by gambling interests
Those who bend the knee are as guilty as Trump.
For they too shall be punished.
Yes, the enablers

Isolated world--much like the Maga world. They talk only amongst themselves...
Very true!

Agreed! Everyone should exit Amazon
I am doing almost no business with Amazon at this point
Same here
I have never knowingly bought anything from Bezos/Amazon.
Sadly, some family members do still order from the greedy bastard, Mr Bezos. I continue to try to get them to stop.
Boycotting ALL Big Corps is the best way to bring them to their boney knees. Meanwhile they keep the masses off balance and fighting among themselves.
We need to organize. Maybe Ben / Meidas could lead the way with a massive boycott of the billionaire bastards.
Elbow Zupp! 🇨🇦

I try to go to the product source rather than Amazon. It can be tough sometimes, but trying makes me feel like I am doing something!
So far the "movie" has only made 7 million dollars on release in theaters. What a joke.
From soft porn model to the I don't care first floozy.
LOL, sold one whole ticket at the premier in London.
Wow. Now there’s a statement to the Trumpies.
The world is like 99% of Americans, we hate Child sex by old men, who are 45 to 50 years older than some of the girls who were raped.
The woman who was raped by these monsters years ago, I hope they filea lawsuit for all of the Pedophile men, and take Billions of dollars from these Monsters, and also File a suit against G.Maxwell who is rich herself and comes from a very Wealthy family go for Billions of Dollars from her who took these young girls to meet these old men to be mostested.

Perfect progression. Hilarious!
and that figure only was arrived at through "ticket laundering", i read a substack but unfortunately dont rmmbr who...help?

Yeah, that fantastic businessman will do a really good job with that won’t he…
Haha excellent idea

...trampled to death
Don't you mean "trUmpled" to death??? (:
If anyone is still shopping on Amazon, you are contributing to this.
And yet he too will die like everyone else. He's such a creep. And his current wife looks like something Dr. Frankenstein put together.
Excellent article! I am at a loss to explain why a once successful businessman helping employ so many would SELL HIS SOUL, literally, to the creature in the White House. I don't get it.
Maybe he never had a soul to begin with? 🤔
He didn't care that by using books as a loss leader he crushed independent bookstores, putting some out of business who had been owned by the same family for generations. We used to have 25 bookstores in Harvard Square. Now we have five. For this reason I have never bought anything from Amazon.
That’s a possibility, maybe he was born soulless? Just like frump!
jeff bezo's sold his soul for more money and power. Another t rump, greedy can't have enough.
Same here, Karen. Was he once a good man, a decent human? Is there some inkling of that goodness buried in him that could be persuaded to realize the opportunity he has to do great things in this world?
Me too! How much is enough?? I talking about money, obviously.
He's not a great businessman. I bet he used his underlings cruelly. If you don't listen to employees, your business fails...just like the T**** company.
You did notice who he chose to marry!
Maybe he’s in the Epstein files too 🤔
Don't doubt it one bit.......just have to wait a little longer for it to be published(?).
It's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$👑🥶
Bravo!!
Bravo Ben. Karma can't come soon enough for Jeff Bezos.
Time to be reminded of the need to boycott Amazon…
It's been easier than I thought it would be. 😊
The message I sent to the stories reporter:
Apparently Bezos is too ignorant to understand that the Washington Post’s hard shift to the “right” has plummeted sales. Tyranny has a price!
He does not care a wit
Bozo is up to his armpits in money. The money he's losing at the Post isn't even a rounding error.
Without media amplification the right could not flourish. Shame on all involved in misinformation and downright lies masquerading as “news”!
Ummm..... Ben.....
I think you spelled his name wrong!
It's Jeff Bozos! Yes... BOZOs! 🤪
I thought I vented that ;-)
Didn't hurt for Ron to repeat it!!!
Sorry... I didn't know.🤔
Blatant pay off to Orange Asshole
In destroying the Washington Post Jeff Bezos succeeded where Nixon failed. The entire sports section was eliminated at a time of game fixing by gambling interests
Excellent letter!
Concise and to the point.
Yup. He’s complicit af. Good work!
Bezos worth $250B is too broke to keep staff? But he can rent out Venice Italy for a wedding?
Just when I was thinking of going back to subscribing after I quit months ago due to his capitulation to Trump, now that will never happen.
The company is crap now. No competent customer service, no more fast delivery and continuous fraudulent charges for prime
You were right to cancel
