Amazon is doubling down on lobbying

I'm pleased and impressed that the Post is writing skeptical and/or negative stories about Amazon, despite (as the author notes) the fact that Bezos owns the newspaper. He might indeed, after all is said and done, want to see it flourish as a journalistic enterprise, not just as a business.

Only $10m? The sadist thing about American politico-capito-corruption is how little the players sold themselves for. Double digits is an great return on money. Lobbying returns 22,000%?

How is it lobbying even legal? Can somebody explain? (Serious question).

When you play the Game of Crony Capitalism, you lobby or you die.
