    Michael Tracey Retweeted Paul Krugman

    Ah yes, the ludicrously wealthy oligarch is now the savior of American democracy because of how he responded to a lewd picture scandal. Don't these pundits ever get tired of the melodramatic, hair-on-fire, civilization-is-collapsing pronouncements?https://twitter.com/paulkrugman/status/1093862536284438532 …

        @paulkrugman Other than putting his employees in cages , shocking them to keep them on schedule, and owning a war propaganda org, he seems like a pretty decent guy.

        When an oligarch is lauded as a paragon of "courage" the lauder has warped sensibilities. Krugman is an apologist for the powerful while thinly veiling himself as a "progressive" economist. This is no secret. 🤔

        Turning everything into melodrama is done to prevent the receiver from actually thinking. Same thing with dramatic music on cable nets. Generally the more and louder the music the more full of shit they are.

        The only reason they have an opinion about this at all is AMI is proTrump. Everything is teams. Nothing is principle.

        This is an example of a billionaire using his wealth and ownership of the Washington Post to turn the tables and make the story about the National Enquirer instead of about Bezo. I do love that the CEO of AMI is named "Pecker" though.pic.twitter.com/Ngag1KYdfg

        i'm a so-called collapse-itarian, but not for this reason. pretty incredible considering the government is Amazon's biggest customer possessing contracts w/ CIA & Pentagon, and is a monopoly attempting to control the infrastructure of the economy.

        Yes, when I heard what happened to poor Bezos, I forgot ALL the other major injustices in the world, like Yemen eg, and cried my eyes out and yelled 'What a HERO' .... 😱 Are these people ACTUALLY insane? I know sometimes we use hyperbole to describe them but I think they ARE

        Paul Krugman: yet another self-important pundit that needs to be driven over with a truck (preferably at a crosswalk to make it look like an accident).

        "ludicrously wealthy oligarch" is redundant and oligarch is overused but your overall point is spot on. Nice try by him though to flip the script. Doesn't mean we have to eat it up like Krugman.

        The whole things is going to be a PR boon for Bezos, by the end of it all he won't even be the "richest person in the world" anymore. It'll be spread around like with the Waltons. I can't help but wonder how much of this was contrived.
