What clown actually subs to a rag like WaPo to get fucking news?
Wife tried to unsubscribe from the WaPo a few years back and got such an insane run-around that she opted to go through her credit card company instead. They tried to re-sign her up twice before the cancellation stuck.
Now look, i sold a gym membership to your wife's estranged family member and then we all fell into the love of Katherine Graham and Ben Bradlee. So you and your'n, well I got some things to say but I respond well to bloody fights in the Roman style where we all gonna take shits together
Fuck Washington Post, fuck Jeff Bezos, and fuck Amazon. I laughed when Bezos' rocket blew up.
I haven't bought a thing from Amazon in over ten years, now.
A shame he wasn't on the rocket at the time.
i stopped buying products from Amazon and subscribing to Amazon Prime 3 years ago
Isn't Amazon shopping run at a loss, subsidised by AWS?
I did not downvote, but big if true. I can see it going the other way too, though, especially because Amazon is really good at overworking and mistreating its employees, and forcing the postal services to do the stuff they don't want to spend the money to do themselves.
"We believe the financials support the view that AMZN uses its eCommerce business as a loss-leader," she said.

Critics argue that Amazon’s retail business actually operates at razor thin margins or even at a loss when you separate it from the high-margin cloud computing and advertising businesses. Amazon’s retail operation has massive costs associated with operating fulfillment centers, paying employees, shipping products, and storing inventory. The company is also aggressive about minimizing prices to beat competitors. Amazon prioritizes gaining market share and growing revenue over retail profit margins. The retail business is used almost as a loss leader to attract customers to the Amazon ecosystem.
Oh WaPo, what happened to thee?
Democracy died in darkness.
