Back in the day, Microsoft pretty much ignored what was going on in Washington, DC. Then they got tangled up in anti-trust conflicts and realized they could no longer ignore politics. Now they have one of the biggest lobbying efforts of any company there.
Bezos did much better than hire a lobbying firm. He bought a big muscular political player on steroids, the Washington Post.
The politicians and bureaucrats are a lot less likely to mess with Bezos now.
