@christinkallama

Just a reminder: Bezos did not get rich from owning The Washington Post. He makes his money from amazon, Alexa, and aws computing services. Quit all of these, too.

@jk

I am certainly trying to stay away from Amazon, but the goal is not to make Bezos less rich (a futile endeavor from an regular individual standpoint), but to acknowledge that the Washington Post can no longer be relied on to provide a useful critique of American authoritarianism. And to reinvest my subscription dollars accordingly.
