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

Posted on 02/02/2021 1:49:05 PM PST by conservative98

“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.”

I think she’s still girlfriend status, but lol. As an aside, that girlfriend of his has the same, uhh...”look”, as Donald Trump Jr’s girlfriend.

Sure he is, hahaha. He will still pull all the strings. Hopefully so much so that he won’t have enough time to fruck up the world like Lil” Billy Gates has after leaving Microsoft. I really think that pencil necked geek is insane.

“...and my other passion, advocating for Socialism, now that I’ve used Capitalism to become a wealthy man!”

Fixed! *SPIT*

I remember in the 90’s when Amazon was selling books and the insufferable Bob Brinker belittled it and advised against investing. What a putz..like advising against Microsoft.

I know. It really couldn’t be more simple, except to women.

You want an education, something where you can’t believe you are watching, but you can’t look away?

Check out Kevin Samuels videos on YouTube.

He is an image consultant, and his clientele is mainly black women looking to marry men, generally black men.

I know, not something I would normally have done, but I watched one by accident, and the gentleman spent 20 minutes basically beating this woman up respectfully until she came to admit the truth of her situation.

He’s got 800 videos of this on YouTube!!

He’s got a standard approach he takes. Seriously educational and entertaining.

Also, eye-opening in terms of looking at the demographic situation of the average black male. Sad.

Obviously I don't approve of deplatforming Parler - however my understanding is that Parler was a data collection site

Which is exactly what Amazon , Google, Facebook, etc do.
Not to mention Parler was NOT a data collection site any more than Facebook, Twitter or any other social media or Google or Amazon etc.

The “violence” excuse is obvious crap since lots of people saw horrible things on Twitter.

I don’t think Parler should have been shut down, whether I liked it or not (I didn’t) but why didn’t they have a workaround?

If POTUS went to GAB it would further explode. I liked the format better there than Parler.

Personally other than FR and The Conservative Treehouse I’m pretty much focusing on everything I let slip while I was obsessed with getting DJT re-elected. No Twitter, no FB, etc.

Amazon (by copying the old Sears Roebuck mail order business strategy and doing a good job of it) is a very successful company. Credit is due in part to Bezos as its leader

but his acquisition of the Washington Post has, if anything, made that communist Pravda propaganda rag even worse (if that be possible)

Hopefully, his retirement will lead to Amazon keeping up its generally good customer service.. and a total cleaning up of the WashPost, it stinks!

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

C.S. Lewis

My Amazon Prime account is due to renew in April. Guess what, i am not renewing. I suggest any freeper that has Prime to not renew. Defund Biden’s friends and that includes Jeff Bezos.

In order to get your man to do what u want ☺ keep his belly full and his balls empty.

I do not think I have ever heard it stated so simply.

Unfortunately for me, my belly has rarely been full and my balls almost never empty.
