amazon

Having worked at the big companies, like #Amazon and #Google (so glad to be done with them), this is something I've heard, seen, and felt.
If companies can dole out bonuses to themselves, they definitely can pay us more. #Capitalism is hurting working people, but we hold the power & fill their pockets ✊🏼 #UniteAndFightBack #GeneralStrike

Periodic reminder

Your parents probably taught you from a young age not to take gifts from strangers, right?
So, why do you blindly accept now "free" services from companies online?

If you still use one of these devices, you might want to start looking into alternatives.

"In an email sent to customers today, Amazon said that Echo users will no longer be able to set their devices to process Alexa requests locally [...] Starting on March 28, recordings of everything command spoken to the Alexa living in Echo speakers and smart displays will automatically be sent to Amazon and processed in the cloud."

Apparently #Amazon is going to make this easy. 😃

Just need to click the link in this email, and all Amazon accounts will self-destruct...

Living far from any useful shops, we have used Amazon a lot in previous years, but we haven't bought anything from them in 2025 and we stopped using Prime streaming ~2 years ago.

This is part of lowering our reliance on GAFAM corporations. It's a pain - Amazon is annoyingly low friction and many sellers have no other shop, but that's the price of Values.

"Well, we don’t feel threatened." That's the Olim brothers — founders of dot-com online music retailer, CDnow — talking about Amazon. It's from a book they published in 1998 entitled "The CDnow Story: Rags to Riches on the Internet". At the start of '98, they were the leaders in online music retail. But in June 1998 [cue ominous music] Amazon branched out from books and added a Music tab to its fast growing e-commerce website... https://cybercultural.com/p/cdnow-amazon-1998/ #InternetHistory #CDnow #Amazon

Jeff Bezos threats to buy Conde Nast should absolutely be taken seriously.

It would give him control over a number of media outlets that are strong voices in opposition of fascism (like Wired and Teen Vogue)

Under the oligarchs control they would be forced to become right wing propaganda.

Now more than ever we must support independent journalists… many of whom are speaking truth to power despite the personal risk.

If you can boycott Amazon, please do it. Send a strong message with your wallet that you don’t support fascism or the billionaire class.

If you can’t boycott, please don’t feel guilty. Many disabled people and those in poverty may be reliant on Amazon for supplies they can’t get elsewhere.

Trust that your community is boycotting on your behalf.

We’ve got you, and you need to take care of yourself in order to survive.

No guilt. We all resist in whatever way we can.
