I don’t know about all of you, but I’d love to see Amazon stocks fall significantly like Tesla’s. I sold my crumbs today. I don’t want any more of a part of Bezos’s wealth while he squelches freedom of the press. Since I don’t have a wapo subscription, this is something I’m able to do. 🤷🏼♀️ #RuthMarcus
