- EXCELLENT! Amazon’s cloud revenue is booming, but their free cash flow took a nosedive to negative $2.4 billion. Ouch. It’s like selling all your noodles to buy the pot, then realizing you have no money for chopsticks. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? Big Tech theater at its finest: "Synergy slide made my head hurt." They’re building digital infrastructure faster than they can count the credits. Does anyone have a normal cable? We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing. Just deliver the bits and pray the hash manifest balances. It's a delivery. What could go wrong?
