If tariffs are so good, they should be happy that Amazon is doing free advertising of them on the Trump administration’s behalf. Why do they seem upset that people would know about the tariffs they’re so proud of? Such a mystery

Libro.fm rules, been using it for years now. Same price as Amazon, has a vast majority of the books I've been interested in, and you get to pick a local bookstore to support and some portion of your subscription goes to them. Since we're on HN, you can actually download the audio files from Libro.fm as an officially-supported feature also for backups.
But, as also seen with DOGE, they’re careless and refuse to do even cursory research on anything beyond the first-order effects of their actions which, to me at least, seems like a terrible set of traits for being in charge of weaponry.
Musk behaved the EXACT same way when he took over Twitter and wanted to move out of one of the 3 main data centers they used. Actual experts told him it would take a year so he instead impulsively hires basic movers to rip the servers out and was surprised at how many things this broke. He said "I didn't realize how many places that data center was hardcoded". Except people absolutely told him that.
To be clear, there are two different staffers. The one in your link resigned yesterday and (apparently) may be coming back. The linked article is about another one.
Oh yes, you're correct actually. The one I linked about was mentioned at the end of the article but the article makes clear that Elon Musk actually did hire multiple people with explicitly racist ties because they are not dealbreakers to him.
What do I think someone could say over different platforms over a long time period of time that would get multiple death threats? I have no idea but would love for original poster to share more details.
