The Washington Post’s owner, Amazon found Jeff Bezos, may have refused to permit it to endorse Vice President Harris for President in the upcoming election, but at least they’re not being completely muted. This overview article presents it as news coverage, and I particularly appreciated Senator Sander’s (I-VT) comment:
Meanwhile, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) criticized Bezos in an X post, saying the Amazon founder “is afraid of antagonizing Trump and losing Amazon’s federal contracts. Pathetic.” [WaPo]
If I were Senator Sanders, though, I would have enhanced it with the nearly unthinkable:
Mr. Bezos, I understand that Amazon, as well as yourself, have a lot of wealth. I must remind you that the way in which we represent wealth is entirely dependent on the United States government’s trustability. If Mr Trump becomes President, do you think your wealth, your Amazon, will continue to exist? Or will all that wealth be sucked out of you and yours’, much as happened to the Jews of Nazi Germany?
Good men who recognize how the world works will recognize that VP Harris is a flawed candidate, but not nearly as flawed as Mr Trump and his greedy and degenerate associates.
If trust in the United States government collapses, then our entire system of wealth representation will collapse, from dollars to computer-managed accounts. That’s what Senator Sanders should have told Mr Bezos.
The hatred spewing from Mr Trump and his associates should be a big clue as to their unsuitability for office.
