no escape

Rest of world: is there no alternative to US hegemony?

CIA: *raises head from pile of blow, puts gun on table* no

Ok actually read the screed. Ahhhh yes good ol’ Jeff “In the years after I bought the WaPo and everyone got suspicious, me and my billions of dollars have done nothing but improve the world and my credibility and definitely didn’t trap anyone in warehouses to die in a tornado, so you all trust me now, right?” Bezos

Broke: Simpsons did it first

Eugene Meyer, publisher of The Washington Post from 1933 to 1946, thought the same, and he was right.

I wonder what major world events were happening in the 1930s-1940s that would line up with this...

As it turned out, Meyer did take the side of the Republican party on some issues. He was opposed to FDR's New Deal, and this was reflected in the Post's editorial stance as well as its news coverage, especially regarding the National Recovery Administration (NRA). He even wrote an editorializing "news" story under a fake name

THERE IT IS!

But back to Jeff.

You can see my wealth and business interests as a bulwark against intimidation, or you can see them as a web of conflicting interests.

Yep. We're protected from intimidation and extortion so long as we pay our dues to the consiglieri when he comes around and don't get too chummy with the cops.

more US politics I know. There is sadly no escape from the fiery vortex that is the U.S. election.
