The Washington Post is laying off journalists, supposedly out of economic necessity

Consider that, in 2021, Bezos paid twice as much to build a new yacht ($500 million) as he paid for the Washington Post

The boat costs $50 million per year to maintain

Bezos' yacht has sails and therefore, cannot accommodate a helipad.

So Bezos' also bought a "support yacht" with a helipad that he can use to get to his other yacht

@juddlegum It would appear that all of Bezos’ employees need to be given massive pay increases
