Jeff Bezos stepping down as Amazon CEO
NY Post ^ | February 2, 2021 | 4:32pm | Lisa Fickenscher

“I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives. Andy is well known inside the company and has been at Amazon almost as long as I have,” Bezos said. “He will be an outstanding leader, and he has my full confidence.”

The announcement comes just 90 minutes before Amazon reports what is expected to be a blowout holiday quarter earning report.

“As much as I still tap dance into the office, I’m excited about this transition,” Bezos said, adding that he will focus on “the Day 1 Fund, the Bezos Earth Fund, Blue Origin, The Washington Post, and my other passions.”

Your post made me laugh out loud.

That was very good.

I financialized the sex I had in my marriage and it was something in the realm of $3850/sex act considering the cost of divorce, loss of assets, opportunity cost, etc.

Given there is literally zero incentive of any kind for a young man to marry, it makes prostitution look like a smoking deal by comparison.

“So Bezos is now worried about being perceived as in a “conflict of interest”? How fair minded of him.”

I don’t think Bezos cares.

I think he’s pulled off the scam and consolidated the monopoly.

If you boycott every entity recommended by folks on FR, you’re gonna need to be at an Amish or maybe even more pre-colonial level.

Aside from his politics - he's done one helluva job!

What job is that?
Destroying most retail outlets on the high streets?
Crippling Parler and putting Parler out of business?
Which one are you particularly fond of?

I really hate how much your math turns out to be right. Women can't stand the simplicity of the equation. In order to get your man to do what u want ☺ keep his belly full and his balls empty.

I see, so according to you, it’s useless to fight these leftist by keeping their hands out of your pockets.

If I can do something to keep leftist hands off my money, I’m going to do it. It’s not real complex.

If ya want to keep supporting these leftists, you just keep throwing your money at them. It’s your decision.

Publish your list of approved sources/companies and I’ll tell you why FR shot them down.

Thanks.

Good for you! We also cancelled our Costco account. We decided we could survive just fine without them, just like we did before Costco existed.

I worked there - it was quite the company full of a lot of really smart people. My son in law used their site to sell items when he was between jobs.

Obviously I don’t approve of deplatforming Parler - however my understanding is that Parler was a data collection site which is why some of their investors were backing it. I refused to give them my info during the time I was there. The Conservative Treehouse got deplatformed and they transitioned - not sure why Parler couldn’t.
There’s always GAB.

As for the retail businesses - you could make the same complaint about Home Depot, etc. Unfortunately that’s life.

Maybe I’m not getting through. You’re mistaking me for someone who gives 2 s**ts about what other people think or are doing. I don’t. Trust me here.

My understanding is the ‘reason’ they deplatformed Parler is because people were threatening ‘violence’.

I do believe the reason they shut Parler down is the quiet the right. They shut Trump up just days before, no facebook, no twitter, probably figured he’d go to Parler. They needed to put a stop to it.
