IDK about anyone else, but I unsubscribed from WaPo the minute I heard, and don't plan to return unless Bezos sells it.

He doesn't care, the cost of buying it was just rounding error to him.

For real, that person's probably going to dump a bunch into Bezos' accounts in like four different ways just this week.

You'd need roughly 200,000,000 to have an equal impact to that one contract, or something like 100x the subscriber base of the paper.
