I understand what you are saying, and I don't (philosophically) disagree with you. However, we have to be practical and in this case, choose what we hope will be the best in the long run. When we extrapolate what you said into the whole country, we can get a feel for what is REALLY AT STAKE! Everything we have always held dear and millions of brave soldiers have died to preserve.

I was just thinking along these lines earlier......These people who control tech and social media are not American, and do not understand the concept of America.....most are the "best and brightest" from around the world - sure, but they lack any understanding of our founding....They simply do not understand "trading freedom for safety"....And, while I am ranting.....immigration was necessary to this country when it was a wide-open frontier. But, who should be allowed in to participate in the Great Experiment, was fairly specific, highly regulated.....now, it's anyone who can get across the border. Apparently my "time-off" from posting is over.....sorry folks <g> I ran across an AT OpEd this past week that I think needs posting (along the lines of why even the simplest compliance with authoritarian leaders from the populace degrades all of our rights)...will post if I can find it again. the new ceo is so friggin UN AMERICAN there are no words. twitter is NOT an American platform. addenda...thanks TheHammer, and to HB and our self-less data/news collectors for keeping the open discussion alive!

You're not distinguishing AWS and AWS from the retail business part of Amazon. AWS has the largest market share of the cloud, about 40%. Google abandoning it because of privacy concerns in China, has now grown it back to 6%. Those numbers are shifting, and were reported for the quarter ended 2 months ago. The person who headed that replaced Jeff Bezos. Your grudge or commentary was as logical as Jeff Bezos having an interest in a space hobby, or cashing out shares for his ex-wife. He had to give her shares, and let her choose what she chose to do with them. I wouldn't say he's exclusively on Blue Origin. If the new guy works out, he'll stay and Bezos will not affect the direction of the company. One outside leader could be enough, but more likely they will keep AWS separate, and add more, maybe 3-5 like Oracle for years had co-CEOs. Amazon's deliveries are very efficient, now doing more volume than either FedEx or UPS. And faster, breaking the 1-Day Shipping into hourly segments. And faster. That might have come from the new CEO or another part of C management. I see the WSJ reporting there's a trend back to retail, not just in pop up stores. It might be tested at first, and then follow the numbers.
