I’m sure he parsed the numbers and made a calculated risk, but Bezos for all his astuteness can be very tone-deaf and not understand things until public opinion bites him in the ass.
Inordinate amounts of cancellations to Amazon, WaPo and even a one day boycott of Whole Foods stores will hit him where he lives.
@TheAbbotTrithemius I hope. It could all come crashing down and he'll not hurt one bit. He's clearly more afraid of power hungry Nazis than consumers.
Yes, you have to wonder if he’s hedging his bets, but this all comes off as incredibly cowardly and lacking in gravitas and character.
Seems when the moment of truth comes Bezos will run and hide in the darkness and possibly let democracy die like the most lily-livered of sycophants.
@TheAbbotTrithemius He's gonna be fine no matter who's in charge technically because well, he's privileged to be above it as long as he's non committal.
He’s just looking for safety in case Trump wins and well…this action is already encouraging Turdmp to send out threatening Truth Social screeds threatening anyone and everyone who doesn’t support him.
Bezos is stupid.
“They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. '”
@TheAbbotTrithemius I think he's stupid like a fox but ultimately that doesn't matter until he doesn't matter. Idk. Maybe we burn it all down....or the kids will eventually. I don't think this current model is ultimately sustainable here like it is other countries so see? I'm actually being optimistic. I think we'll win this and he'll have to drop a few for taxes. It'll at least annoy him so that's something.
Yeah, no matter what happens with Turdmp, the weakness and limitations of some of the most important pillars of democracy (a Republic) have been badly exposed as broken by his behavior, among those things: The press, but also a court system that gives special treatment to thebpowerful and wealthy and the ruinous rotted and worm-filled concept of the electoral college, which is literally a total fucking joke.
The court system, press,
@TheAbbotTrithemius I don't know anyone is gonna do anything about it though. We'll see.
