The Washington Post is a reminder of the dangers of billionaire ownership | Siva Vaidhyanathan

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : Limiting the government's regulatory oversight over space technology or contracting is in Bezos's interest, which might explain why Blue Origin staff met with Trump around the same time as the Post announced its decision not to endorse.
27% : One potential Bezos-centric consequence of the election on 5 November is that Donald Trump will prevail over a bacchanal of greed and corruption, potentially opening federal contracts to all sorts of favored players and - more importantly - stifling investigations and prosecutions into firms and people Trump might favor.
10% : Given all this, it makes sense that Bezos, who is generally liberal and supports Democratic candidates, would try to limit how much Trump hates him (and Trump has long hated Bezos - a lot), if there is a small chance to curry favor with the once and future president.
