AbeBooks: Amazon acquired AbeBooks, founded in 1996, in 2008
Wait, what?
Seriously, I had no idea that he’s got his claws in everything. I guess I should have, he’s a billionaire and all.

That is woke. Banned.
DEI, but only for stocks, I guess
Is there a more up-to-date listing anywhere? This article is from 2023.
Acquired, acquired, acquired, acquired.
This can be confusing. Should I stop reading the WaPo? Well, I already don’t subscribe, jump the paywall, and block ads. Me using the site hurts him more than if i didn’t. Same thing with the Smart Speakers. Amazon has lost (IIRC) like 12B on that venture, and so long as you don’t use it to order stuff, it’s costs Bozo for a person to use it.

Most of the good people have left though, yeah?
Bezos having a say in what news you read or don’t read benefits him quite a bit.
Good for him. If I had money I would also probably invest.
Why should I know this? Will this help me with fixing my floorboard? Or help me at work? Missing the helpfulness of the sub in this post.
Some people don’t like him and are trying to avoid doing things that he will profit from.

Some of these are incorrect. Amazon didn’t acquire iRobot, and the planned acquisition was terminated in January 2024.
