Jeff Bezos Talks About Music Streaming, and His Political Ambitions (billboard.com)
In a wide-ranging interview with Billboard, Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon, Blue Origin, and owner of The Washington Post, talked about music streaming business. He also talked about whether he desires to become the president of the United States. Excerpts from the interview: On music streaming business, being one of the late ones to join the party:Well, here's what I would say: We've been in the music category since 1998. It was the second category we launched after books. Our customers listen to a lot of music and we have a couple of freight trains kind of pulling the business along. One is Prime, and the other is Echo and Alexa.
On the prospect of seeing President Bezos and other political interests: Oh, no. I don't think so. No. I love my life. I love being an inventor. I love Blue Origin, my space company. I love The Washington Post. They are very good, but the Internet transition was difficult for them -- so I've been able to help them on that. But basically... I have a very full life. And I really like it.

Easy, racism by white bashing and sexism by male bashing. Play that game for long enough and people see through your bullshit and get sick of it, and they're willing to elect a guy like Trump who just doesn't give a fuck about political correctness.
Why should votes in South Dakota be worth more than those in San Francisco?
They aren't. Electors are based on the number of Senators and Representatives. Representatives are allocated based on population.
Since we are a union of STATES, the system of electing the federal executive recognizes that there are both STATE and POPULATION based concerns, and the electoral college reflects that.
Why should votes of black people in North Carolina be worth less than those of white people in Kentucky?
Since you want to make this a racial issue, you may continue on your own.
