That columnist 's name? Jamal Khashoggi. Important stuff, they weren't just an employee. They were a human being with a family, with people that cared. Never forget Saudi Arabia's state sponsored murder of this blameless man

It's important to note that Kushner was in the middle of negotiations on a $10 billion arms deal with MBS when this happened. Kushner knew about it in advance, and assured MBS that the operation wouldn't detail the arms talks, nor would HitlerPig speak out against it.
They knew that Khashoggi was going to be murdered, yet they did absolutely nothing to warn him, and let him go to his death, where he was tortured to death, and dismembered. They have video of him entering the building, but never coming out, although operatives were spotted leaving with heavy suitcases, presumed to be his body. His body has never been found.
HitlerPig and Kushner greenlighted the murder.
Khashoggi was also a CIA asset, a nephew of a multibillionaire Saudi arms dealer, and a mandarin of a competing faction of the Saudi royal family. Khashoggi and MBS were/are both pieces of shit, so I’d shed no tears for either, nor for Bezos for that matter. A bunch of oligarchs who deserve the guillotine.
one wonders if figures like Bezos will still expect to command respect and authority
They already don't. Their power is based off money alone. No one actually likes them, let alone looks up to them. The people who claim to be "inspired" by them are only inspired by their vast fortunes, not with their persons.
Daily reminder that MBS is not just a "Trump ally" but a close ally to the US. In fact, the only reason the saudies, and all other gulf monarchies, mantain power is because of US weaponry obtained through the petrodollar partnership where they trade their oil in USD which then they use on USbonds and commodities (mostly weapons). They are US protectorates, not the other way around.
It's adorable to suggest that a corporation cares about its non-unionized employees.
Bezo's employee? those are disposable
Yeah, Bezos basically kills his employees already. Maybe he just likes Mister Bone Saw's style.
Hidden behind a paywall.
How else would you protect yourself against a kidnapper? Self-defense 101: run and hide!
Bezos is a fucking pipsqueak and he knows it.
