Those who bend the knee are as guilty as Trump.

For they too shall be punished.

Yes, the enablers

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.

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

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.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Agreed! Everyone should exit Amazon

I am doing almost no business with Amazon at this point

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! 🇨🇦

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.

Happy Valley No More's avatar

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.

David A Pitock's avatar

LOL, sold one whole ticket at the premier in London.

Truth.Matters's avatar

Wow. Now there’s a statement to the Trumpies.

Edward mead's avatar

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.

Johan's avatar

Perfect progression. Hilarious!

Eddie Spaghetti's avatar

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

Sally Devoe's avatar

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 🤣🇨🇦

Truth.Matters's avatar

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

Johan's avatar

Haha excellent idea

Jill Carpenter's avatar

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.

Cindy Abbott's avatar

...trampled to death

Jean Conley's avatar

Don't you mean "trUmpled" to death??? (:

Tricia's avatar

If anyone is still shopping on Amazon, you are contributing to this.

Nickie Morgan's avatar

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.

Karen Sinclair's avatar

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.

LHS's avatar

Maybe he never had a soul to begin with? 🤔

Madeleine A's avatar

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.

Cece mom's avatar

That’s a possibility, maybe he was born soulless? Just like frump!

Sharon Calhoun's avatar

jeff bezo's sold his soul for more money and power. Another t rump, greedy can't have enough.

Beth's avatar

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?

Cece mom's avatar

Me too! How much is enough?? I talking about money, obviously.

L B Rose's avatar

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.

James W's avatar

You did notice who he chose to marry!

Sally Devoe's avatar

Maybe he’s in the Epstein files too 🤔

Jean Conley's avatar

Don't doubt it one bit.......just have to wait a little longer for it to be published(?).

Judy Miller's avatar

It's all about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$👑🥶

Beth Moseley's avatar

Bravo Ben. Karma can't come soon enough for Jeff Bezos.

Ernestine's avatar

Time to be reminded of the need to boycott Amazon…

LHS's avatar

It's been easier than I thought it would be. 😊

Todd's avatar

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!

Declan's avatar

He does not care a wit

Robot Bender's avatar

Bozo is up to his armpits in money. The money he's losing at the Post isn't even a rounding error.

Elizabeth Racki's avatar

Without media amplification the right could not flourish. Shame on all involved in misinformation and downright lies masquerading as “news”!

Ron Williams's avatar

Ummm..... Ben.....

I think you spelled his name wrong!

It's Jeff Bozos! Yes... BOZOs! 🤪

Susan E Romans's avatar

I thought I vented that ;-)

Jean Conley's avatar

Didn't hurt for Ron to repeat it!!!

Ron Williams's avatar

Sorry... I didn't know.🤔

Christopher Geiger's avatar

Blatant pay off to Orange Asshole

Helena Llera's avatar

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

Lynne E Kranik's avatar

Excellent letter!

mara epstein-saidiner's avatar

Concise and to the point.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Yup. He’s complicit af. Good work!

Debbie's avatar

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.

Catherine's avatar

The company is crap now. No competent customer service, no more fast delivery and continuous fraudulent charges for prime
