Hey @amazon, soldiers at home and abroad aren’t getting paid. Maybe now’s a good time to reconsider your continued pillaging of those of us overseas that use your service.
“Logistics” does not justify these price gouging tactics (stateside vs overseas):

NASA is more than rockets and cool photos for your desktop background. It’s the sciences of everything, it’s cutting-edge tech, it’s STEM inspiration, and it’s global U.S. leadership—all on a shoestring budget (~0.5% of federal spending).

It’s so fascinating to watch. How one man can sow such destruction. How one very bad, stupid, ignorant, cruel, dishonest, and psychopathic man can/will ruin and destroy so many lives.
But here’s the thing. None of this is a surprise. Every single voter knew exactly who he was.
