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.”

OK, so a major Kingpin in the global Commie takeover announces a title change for himself. This is interesting, how?

“Like Obama said- at some point you’ve made enough money. “

Do you really think he’s decided he’s “made enough money”? A plush retirement with no further plans for his new global communist government?

He is likely going to transition to more work with his foundation and will get his cash more involved in politics and elections.

Bezos owns Washington Post. He used it to push lockdown and quarantine and fear monger. This lead to his competitors in brick and mortar being forced to lose money and go out of business and for his mail order to be used more than it would otherwise.

It is a classic conflict of interest.

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

Oh how I wish I had bought in at the beginning.

His new wife still holds the record for the most expensive sex a man has ever had in human history.

I would be far more interested to hear Jack has stepped away from the top spot wit Twitter. Or even Zuck at Facebook.
Maybe new people in their place would be less likely to censor conservatives for anything under the sun.

“It is a classic conflict of interest.”

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

Really? I suppose his near total elimination of Retail and online competition can be attributed to his genius in a fair and open market. No help from his globalist Wall Street, Government, and silicon valley buddies? Just a pure open market victory, eh?
