Come sit with me in the empty theater

I’ve been using the CIA World Factbook online since I was a little kid. What a stupid, pointless desecration.
They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

Think of the world we could have if we just got our money back from like 100 people and enacted a little antitrust legislation. It's closer than you think.

watching wildly incompetent men come in and destroy every single thing that is tender and sacred in the city where my family has lived for 160 years is really, truly going to send me to the nuthouse

Last year Will Lewis told WaPo staff that "people aren't reading your stuff." As though it was their fault that he and Bezos had corrupted the opinion section, demolished local coverage, and alienated thousands of subscribers. Now a great newsroom is being destroyed to hide their gross incompetence.
