Honestly. I am not a government contractor, but I do own a small business - and I stay the fuck out of politics. There is nothing to be gained from making any political overtures of any type. I have my own political opinions, but I don't broadcast them - I simply vote. And my opinions are not those of my company or brand - because my brand/company has no political values - it has a product.
Jeff literally has tens of billions of dollars on the line, both his own and his investors' money. Preventing his media arm, which is supposedly independent, from making a political statement is just absolutely dumb, because this draws MORE attention on him and Amazon than if he just did nothing.
If Harris wins, I wouldn't put it past her to put Lina Kahn on the case of breaking up Amazon. Dumb move by Jeff, and probably a dereliction of duty as a founder who has taken public money.
