Jeff Bezos could literally have subsidized the Washington Post for 20 years at a TOTAL cost of a fraction of 1 percent of his net worth.

Instead he put 300 professionals out of work and destroyed the institution that inspired me and a lot of others to become journalists.

Anyway, fuck that guy.

The destruction is the goal. At no point in time did Bezos consider WaPo as a profitable business. It was a nuisance and now it's gone.
