A brand new Super PAC — Elect Chicago Women — just dropped hundreds of thousands of dollars into this race. Why?

I can't stop thinking about what Bezos has done to the Washington Post. But I also don't know why I & anyone else is shocked. I went undercover in an Amazon 'fulfilment centre' in 2013 and saw first-hand exactly who Bezos is.
We have all been SO naive.
