      I think it’s totally healthy that an online bookseller became the world’s largest monopoly, is suing to have the NLRB declared unconstitutional so serfs can’t form unions for a modicum of power, bought a major historic film studio for its name and library, is now moving into live sports, and produced the world’s richest man who by all accounts is an immature, greedy prick.
