THAT IS NOT THE FUCKING POINT

the fact that BEZOS overrides the JOURNALISTS - THAT SHOULD CONCERN YOU

25K replies to their weaselly editorial justifying the non-endorsement. I read a couple hundred and didn't see a single reply supporting it, and almost all mentioned cancelation.

Bezos won't feel it if the Post collapses, and he'll find some kind of makework job for his sycophants there, but I hope any legitimate journalists and writers there find a place to land.

I'm canceling Amazon as well.

It'll be tough, but I have to stand by my principles.
