First off it's not the failure to endorse, It's bowing to threats and pressure from Trump! If Bezos thinks this refusal to endorse Harris will save him from further Trump intimidation then he is a fool……..But on has to wonder, would Bezos have caved to Nixon, and told Woodward and Bernstein to kill the Watergate story? Who knows? But it’s shame the editorial staff didn't run it anyway!
Bezos < Cuban
I guess the entire WAPO board and staff were prepared to make a stance and big baby Bezos took the bully bait. To me this is about him being worried about side businesses not about the integrity of the WAPO business.
What a putz, maybe his kid wife threatened to divorce him.
The high-flying corporatocrats like Bezos and Musk — those who are in a race to become the planet’s first trillionaire — fully understand that Trump, if re-elected, will go after his enemies. They are acting accordingly — kissing Trump’s ring or whatever. It appears that was scheduled as they have been in touch!

Alarming that Trump promises to weaponize government against political enemies if he is elected. Reporters without border say Trump verbally attacked media over 100 times in last two months and over 2000 times during his presidency. As an autocrat, he seeks unchecked power and threatens freedom of the press to hold government accountable.

He divorced his old wife for a new young wife. The comment was that Jeff lacks the strong character than Cuban has, the wife comment was that he got wealthy, ditched the old car and got a new younger car and started pumping iron going through his mid life crisis.
Yeah what a weird comment, Bezos lacks the ability to take a hard strong stance in a tough moment, Cuban is the exact opposite.
Good contribution there.
His new girlfriend is 54. I'm no fan of Bezon but sometimes people fall out of love. Sometimes couples conscientiously uncouple. Affairs of the heart are complicated and rarely like soap operas. Sometimes it's not as simple as ditching and older wife for a hotter, younger wife.

I can see your TDS is flaring up big time as we get closer to Doomsday next Tuesday. Take a step back for a moment and see you are off the rails here trying to make up for your misuse of the "kid wife" comment in a dig attempt.
Bezos ex-wife is McKenzie Scott. She is early 50s. Bezos new wife is same age.
Good contribution but try again bud....

You doubled down on your mistake and now trying to deflect..... just say you were wrong on move on. Point taken on Cuban but nonetheless, your comment on the "kid wife" and trading out for a younger model is far from accurate, it is flat out wrong. People need to do a better job of admitting when they are wrong and taking accountability of their actions. The world would be a better place....
One has multiple government contracts while the other doesn't. Probably factors. Bezos does love cheap, underpaid labor, which is apparently right up your alley.
Also, on a sidenote, the pointing/laughing emoji is quite unbecoming of a mod. Sometimes you have to be above it, you know? Hold yourself to a higher standard.
@StumpTownStu
Worry about yourself not about trying to find fault with others. You guys dish it all day long and you in return can take it. If you try to craft a dirty narrative using only ONE point then how might I respond? The kid wife comment was not the CORE of my point but hey you two decided it was open season and lets take that shot. If you hold YOURSELF to the highest standards then these sort of incidents do not happen.
Notice your underhanded comment to me in your reply, was that necessary? Was the up my alley dig necessary OR accurate? Why make a dumb dig like that, was it to try and bolster your position?
If you dont like an emoticon and a retort then try not attacking the person in the first place. You guys are typical deflect experts, you cant stick to a topic based discussion you have to throw in digs, tangents, stupid TDS comments...all just childish digs instead of sticking to the discussion.
BTW...age is not the only factor in how a person is perceived so congrats on their age being similar but there is quite a difference in appearance and nature from spouse one to spouse two...but hey lets focus on dumb crap like technicalities of AGE when it has little bearing to anything related to my reply.
@wallstreetcappers
I'll ask you one more time. Who is "you guys"?
If age wasn't the point of the post, then why make it the point of the post? You know neither of either of those women's character, aside from MacKenzie donating a fraction of her divorce settlement to charity. So was your point simply that Lauren Sanchez is more attractive? That's your opinion. I think she looks like a transsexual. People fall out of love, break-up, divorce, all of the time. There are all sorts of reasons to list why Jeff Bezos is a scumbag but he didn't leave his wife for a younger, hotter woman. You were wrong and can't admit it.
I didn't make underhanded jab at you. You were very clear in that you feel a pool of underpaid, undocumented workers were necessary because home builders and corporations like money. I was very clear in that I don’t respect this position. Jeff Bezos also believes in a pool of underpaid workers. One of the reasons he is is a scumbag. At least they are U.S. citizens.
I think that style of mocking emoticon retorts are unbecoming of a moderator. I have seen people boxed for these actions. While that is a little heavy handed, you should be more reserved, and command a higher regard as a mod. You are messy. You wallow in the fray. You feed within the frenzy. I have never seen a moderator in any arena behave like you do. You are one of the most antagonistic, inflammatory, combative people here. You once called raider condescending for simply posting data when are literally one of the most condescending people here. You have become unhinged and should not be moderating but given how this site is run, seemingly without oversite, no one seems to care.
@wallstreetcappers
Like just who are you talking to? I never deflect. I've never used the term TDS. And I only ever go on tangents for levity. I've seen you hijack entire threads and assign people to teams just to further your political turf war. So who are you guys? You literally gaslight people by saying if you vote based on an actual issue, like illegal immigration, instead of voting because of dislike of character flaws, you are falling for Trump's scam, even though illegal immigration has been a core campaign issue for long before Trump ran. For decades. And it's a measurable issue. Unlike something like the economy, which is extremely multifaceted, you can look at Trump's executive orders and actions on immigration and look at the numbers, then look at Biden's immediate reversal of Trumps actions, implementation of his own, the alarming spike in numbers, and make your own inferences.
