Judd Legum comments on Bezos

Really looking forward to Jeff Bezos' forceful public condemnation of Trump's tariffs since he is so committed to "free markets" that he made a rule that every opinion piece published in the Washington Post must support "free markets"

For some reason, Bezos hasn't said anything yet. Must be busy.

Or buying three more mansions.

Those things don't take care of themselves.

“Trust the President” negates everything else, at least as it pertains to what they are allowed to say or do publicly.

He's plugging his books using Amazon links. I responded asking him not to direct traffic there because of Bezos, maybe link to his publisher instead. He responded I was free to buy my books anywhere but most people buy through Amazon "and it's not even close." So I replied back quoting his BlueSky bio that he's "ardently against fascists" (paraphrased) but is fine with sending people to Bezo's union-busting, Trump-loving site to fill his pockets more. Apparently he was not amused. But really, WTF?
