If anyone is looking for a definition of irony, you could do worse than the fact that Amazon owner Bezos just shut down the book section of WaPo.

Maybe people will stop ordering from Amazon now. A bit of convenience cannot be worth propping up billionaires and allowing them to destroy everything they touch.

The thing about all these men is they could date anybody. They're rich, they're famous. They could bag socialites or models or actresses or whoever. Instead they single out the most vulnerable women and girls they can find. They cannot form relationships with women who are their peers.
