Whether you think Bezos is a legendary American titan or a ruthless vulture—it’s absurd that he’s appearing before Congress for the FIRST time just in 2020.
The man totally upended the U.S. economy in the last decade. Is arguably the most powerful non-elected American in the world. Yet only today it’s worth getting his two cents?
Amazon has a million employees. States begged for HQ2, gave Amazon tons of data. Amazon defacto funds the postal service. Amazon could very well create a new postal service one day. But yeah nothing to ask about...
Let’s put all that aside. If anything, the nation would have been served hearing testimony years ago about digital privacy and or Saudi spying capability. That’s the bare minimum.
Anyway, there’s an endless trove of prime questions to be asked of Bezos now. Including thousands within a two hour window.
