I daresay this is the outcome he hoped for. Suddenly there are a bunch of open editorial author seats to fill. Taking bets on those seats being filled by people who don't lean quite so far to the left.

And a significant loss in subscribers? That's just the principled people fleeing who weren't gonna buy his nonsense either way. The people who stick around are the ones who are okay with billionaire interference in their news source, and those are the people Bezos wants as subscribers.

You can mess with someone else's life but don't you dare mess with the money of someone more powerful than you. Good to see our legal system functioning exactly as it was designed.

Hate to break it to you, but you are not Google's customer. Don't believe me? How much did you pay for Chrome?

This move is in fact being made with their actual customers in mind.

Probably the closest thing you can get to in terms of a "privacy" credit card. Everything about a credit card is tied to you by their very nature. So it depends on what or who you want privacy from.

Someone else mentioned privacy.com which I also use - it's good if you want to hide your transaction from the credit card company, or if you want to hide your identity from the merchant. But Privacy.com is more like a virtual debit card that connects to your bank account. Privacy.com still knows who you are.

It never ceases to amaze me how they mock Joe for speaking gibberish but then this seems to make complete sense to them.

Don't underestimate him. He may sound like an idiot to us, but we aren't his target audience. He doesn't care what we think of him. He knows what his cult wants to hear and he's plenty happy to chum the water to get them in a frenzy.

You are in a coma. We're trying a new technique to communicate with you. We aren't sure where or when this message will appear to you. You've been in a coma for 20 years. Please wake up. We miss you.

The fun thing about this is that we have evidence that this is how our reality works. The double slit experiment showed that particles change their behavior when observed. (Gross oversimplification and only under very specific circumstances but still extremely fascinating.)

Yes, but not even close to as much as the alternative.
