Society seems to be struggling with the reality that Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerberg are ALL assh*les.

Musk, not so much. His popularity started really tanking around the time he slipped into his K-hole and bounced and pranced around the stage with a chainsaw.

I've always considered Zuckerberg to be the little worm with the little home perm. It didn't taking him prancing out to Mar-a-Lago with a $1 million "Inauguration gift" for me to dislike this creepy little knob. He got his START by helping to build "an app to rate hot chicks," which eventually morphed into Facebook.

But Bezos...a friend posted this article on Facebook earlier:

Jeff Bezos Killed the Washington Post
The billionaire wanted the Post to die, because a vigorous, well-resourced newspaper does not help his bottom line.

...and I'd really be surprised if any "DU regulars" were not already familiar with what's in the article, but it seems like the general public is doing a "Wait...you mean Bezos is not a nice guy" thing?

I read the article. It's somewhat lengthy. I found "no new information" in it, but that's because I'm a political animal.
