“But none said the problem with AWS is that it has a high profit margin. And no one focused on market share, or whether customers can switch to another cloud provider. That’s because normal people can see what’s going on, even if economists can’t” open.substack.com/pub/mattstol...
Amazon Web Services Had a Very Bad Day, Amazon's Stock Price Did Not

People missing an important point about folks getting fired for whatever they said about Charlie Kirk: Americans are being conditioned to be snitches on their fellow citizens who don’t toe a party line on what is “allowed” to be expressed. And employers are going along. It’s the new secret police

A thought in 7 parts: I was born Feb 20, 1968 at the Big Pink - Tripler Army Hospital in Hawaii. My Mom had just turned 20, arriving alone at the hospital to give birth because my Dad was serving in the Navy during Vietnam. Over the years, she has told me many stories about that time in their lives.
