  3. And in 2021 the FTC told Bezos this about Amazon’s success: “Please pay $62 million dollars for stealing drivers’ tips and using the money to subsidize their wages.”

  4. Does Nancy Armour write a hate piece on Tom Brady every year? I know of two for sure. Every time he’s headed to the super bowl she’s writes about how him being white is a problem. Really interested in knowing exactly what CNN thinks about white ppl.

  5. Note to Jeff Bezos – any news on that tax money yet? You know, the billions upon billions you’ve never paid to the UK despite the humungous profits you make here every year?
