Watching from afar it is clear that the American people wanted to inflict Trumponomics on themselves. Even #Bezos #Musk and #Zuckerberg are cheer leaders. I watched my own country implode under #Truss with many seeing their pensions destroyed so that the Institute for Economic Affairs could test some of its policies which were made up on a drunken night out on the people. So should we rename the #US president? If so here are some suggestions.

"“The values of the Post do not need changing,” Jeff Bezos told employees when he bought the newspaper a dozen years ago. [...] Agreed, and, at the risk of sounding naïve, I believe Bezos still agrees as well. But I must respectfully dissent". @NewYorker publishes Washington Post's staff writer Ruth Marcus' column that was supressed and led to her resignation after 40 years of work. https://www.newyorker.com/news/essay/why-ruth-marcus-left-the-washington-post #Bezos #TheNewYorker #wp #amazon #censorship #freePress

I don't have Amazon Prime but my husband does.*

Seeing Trump's "The Apprentice" being promoted along an Amazon production "David & Goliath" leaves no doubt that Amazon has gone full Christofascist.

*it's unlikely that he'll unsubscribe because of the streaming service but at least I got him to buy as little as possible there.

With #Trump running amok and #Audible's owner #Bezos failing to impress in resisting Trump, I'm looking for an alternative, nonUSA #Audiobook source.

Anyone done background research into: #Storytel (Sweden)?
Or #Kobo (Canada with Japanese parent company)?
#JohannesLarcher, CEO of Storytel?
#Ratuken (Kobo's owner)?

#LibroFm is AIUI unfortunately currently a US company.
I note too that Storytel currently has a US company listed on its EN webpage "Storytel Audiobooks USA LLC".

Timothy Snyder: Unfreedom at the Washington Post: How an editorial line fosters #authoritarianism

"Jeff Bezos, who owns Washington Post, has announced its #editorial line: 'We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets.' The use of these terms in this way demeans the concept of #freedom and pushes the country in the direction of #tyranny."

Once upon a time, I asked people to review my memoir, written w/#neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller, Finding the Right Words on #Amazon to help people dealing w/#dementia: the complexities of #brain health, #caregiving, #grief. B/c #Bezos is no longer someone I can support b/c he supports #Nazis, I humbly ask you -- if you've read the book -- to review it here. Also, #NIH cuts & the evisceration of #Alzheimer's research (et al.) will immiserate all of us. Grief (& rage) are the words.
