You’re not entitled to other people’s money. That’s the lesson that over 300 former Washington Post employees learned this week as the paper owned by billionaire Jeff Bezos slashed jobs after plummeting pageviews and subscriptions.
Bezos bought the paper in 2013 for about $250 million.
Instead of finding another job, many are protesting their former employer, according to videos posted on social media.
The paper laid off 13 climate reporters, its sports team, and many overseas reporters as well.
Instead of thanking Bezos for subsidizing a failing paper for over a decade, Democrats apparently feel entitled to his money.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, criticized the billionaire’s spending choices.
Katherine Boyle, a partner at the venture capital firm Andreeson Horowitz and a former Washington Post employee, said that the old paper died decades ago.
“There are solid media companies being built for the future and the Post can become one of them. But the old Post died many decades ago. Pretending Bezos killed it isn’t true.”
Democrats and many Washington Post employees felt entitled to Bezos’ money. They shouldn’t.
