There was a July 2023 headline that stated Bezos would be taking a more active role in the Washington Post. Perhaps he will offer them employment in one of the Amazon fulfillment centers. I’m sure they will be very appreciative, and fulfilled.

No one forced them to go to work for that DNC fish-wrap. They can just enjoy the suck they have encouraged. Tell them they are now "useless" idiots.

No, they’d wish it on you for your political beliefs.
