Well we can expect favorable government treatment for Amazon now.
Senior Vice President of Corporate Affairs? That means whispering in the ears of your friends in government I guess.
It also means he'll be fired in a heartbeat if he doesn't deliver. These guys get paid to peddle influence, not for their nonexistent business acumen.
If you are a large company, and you aren’t hiring people with influence to keep the USG AT LEAST at bay, then you’re not going to be the CEO very much longer.
This is what fascism looks like.
