## What Jamie wrote

I like this take from Kara Swisher on Andy Jassy taking over from Jeff Bezos. Ben Thompson also did a good article on [Relentless Jeff Bezos](https://stratechery.com/2021/the-relentless-jeff-bezos/) and Tim Carmody did a whole [Jeff Bezos Exits Stage Right](https://amazonchronicles.substack.com/p/jeff-bezos-exits-stage-right) issue of his Amazon Chronicles newsletter. 

I'll leave this as _all the links you need, actually more than you need, on this story._

Has it hit anyone else that he's stepping aside just in time to skip all the anti-trust activity that is likely coming in the next couple of years? Amongst all these articles praising Jeff Bezos legacy and handing the reigns over to Andy Jassy, I’m guessing that Jassy's calendar is going to have some challenging government meetings coming up.
