In a new book titled "Rocket Dreams," Christian Davenport provides an inside look at two parallel space races - between #JeffBezos and #ElonMusk, and between America and China.

Amazon wants to rule the world
We love our customers.
Amazon only your data!
Booksellers work with ~ 25% margin,
Amazon wants 60% from the publishers.
We pay fees and taxes in our city, Amazon doesn't.
We have fair working conditions, Amazon doesn't. Why do people buy books from Amazon? We have fixed prices in Germany, whether in Munich, Buxtehude or on Amazon - new books cost the same!

O, the willful credulity of the #BrokenPost. You know damned well he doesn't want to "improve economic data." He wants to lie in self-interest, fools.
If Trump really wants to improve economic data, here are better ways https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/08/05/trump-bls-economic-data/

Jonathan Capehart explains why he has now left Jeff Bezos' Washington Post, siphoning yet more brilliance and truth from that cesspool of a journalistic enterprise:
"We’re supposed to ignore [what's happening to the country under Trump]? Leave it to others to wrestle with on their news pages and websites? No, no, no, no, no, said in 'Get Out.'”

That's Done: I CANCELLED AUDIBLE
I've been an #Audiobook listener for 20+ years, mostly because I'm in the car a lot and having kids kills your brain for reading at night. I had over 500 books in my #Audible library but it's time to go.
Doing business with #JeffBezos has just become too unpalatable. That and @pluralistic has taught me to reject DRM and he helped me find https://Libro.fm - I signed up for a membership and have already bought and pre-ordered 6 new books over there.

Obscene disparities are destabilizing.
As JFK put it: Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable.
