s,com,&/amp,

Then view in "Reader" mode. Most of the major browsers have it.

Alternatively, extract the text from the page and leave the Javascript behind. The Javascript is not needed to read the text.

all of your links are walling again, AND deactivating reader mode in my browser.

Retrieve the page with a small http client instead of a large browser. e.g., wget, curl, fetch, etc. Save it.

   wget -o savedpage.htm https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/wework-a-20-billion-startup-fueled-by-silicon-valley-pixie-dust-1508424483

Delete the Javascript.

   sed -i '/<p>/,/<\/p>/!d' savedpage.htm

Open savedpage.htm in a browser.

Loving your sed skills!
