I was at Amzn in 2000 when the internet bubble popped. Capital markets dried up & we were burning $1B/yr. Our biggest expense was datacenter -> expensive Sun servers. We spent a year ripping out Sun & replacing with HP/Linux, which formed the foundation for AWS. The backstory:

AOL was founded 35 years ago with the belief the Internet would become a platform for diverse voices. We never imagined it would be used to distort and divide. I’m grateful Twitter, Facebook & YouTube took these actions today. With great power comes great responsibility. – at Washington, DC

"The match was lit by Donald Trump."
Today we faced an unprecedented assault on our Capitol, our Constitution, and our country.   The assault was fueled by more than four years of poison politics spreading deliberate misinformation, sowing distrust in our system, and pitting Americans against one another.
