Poor, Poor Amazon. Amazon is run by the richest person in the entire world who will come to the oligarch's aid? Amazon paid NO income taxes last year. I am against Amazon for that reason alone.

I will believe this story when the stock price actually goes down. Until then it is wishful schadenfreude. As a point of reference Boeing's stock price hasn't really gone down, and Boeing's action killed people. If the stock
