I have one outstanding order that is already out for delivery. Once I get that, I’m closing my amazon account. I’m done. Buy nothing. Vote with your wallet. Edit: account is closed. get bent Bozos.
we advocate for policies designed to remove barriers to equity
Holy shit that’s the most corpo speak “we don’t believe in affirmative action” policy I’ve ever heard
Might it mean two graphs together, for example, the top 20%, is just that, the top 20% of all and the second graph shows how much the top 10% of that 20% owns? So the top 10% of the top 20% owns however much the graph says, looks to be around 70%. Out of the top 20%, 10% of that has the vast majority of that wealth.
Sorry if I explained it badly, I’m tired and hungry so my brain isn’t firing on all cylinders ATM.
Okie-dokie.
I guess I can delete “slow down if I see Jeff Bezos crossing the street” from my policies.
Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn’t honest?
I left the Amazon ecosystem a couple of years ago because fuck Bezos and it wasn’t a big deal, really. Accumulating stuff is a mindset I could reason myself out of. I call it the power of No, thank you. I buy mostly second hand now and it’s so easy. Saves me money as well.That fuck bezos link is gold, thanks for sharing.
Well I guess it’s a good thing I have begun my 4 years of austerity. I am not spending one dime more than I need to for necessities. I cancelled Amazon Prime a year ago and will be making every effort to buy whatever necessities I usually would get from there elsewhere.
Don’t worry guys, all these corporations will bring back those pretty rainbow logos for Pride Month™ and all will be forgotten.
except this will be the start of the year they stop doing that, because now it becomes the “popular” side to not support it.
Oh, you know trump will issue an EP revoking Pride Month, and all the businesses will forget about it. It makes me sick.
These idiots have made a mistake, the pendulum always swings back and most Americans didn’t vote for Trump.
I hope they don’t expect to be welcomed back with open arms once it does.
If only it were easy to opt out of things like AWS.
I don’t think these jerks quite understand they ain’t gonna shove black folks to the back of the bus again. Of course they wont start by trying that but its on their mind.
Sounds like another great reason for Amazon workers to organize a labor union.
That’s a weird graph. Why does each label have 2 bars?
because saying 0-10% 11%-20% 21%-30% 31%-40% 41%-50% 51%-60% 61%-70% 71%-80% 81%-90% 91%-100% would create a label so fucking long.
It’s implied that each grouping is the top 10% and bottom 10% of each 20% range, to me anyway.
Probably lazy graphing. I think they’re trying to illustrate the difference between top 10 and 20 percent, then threw the others in as collective 20 percent bands. Pie chart might have been better.
to be more similar to the 10% 20% categories I would guess. the bottom 50% could probably be lumped together and it wouldn’t change much of anything.
Scumbag
And my account has been deleted as well. Been going to for a while but the shenanigans have simply pushed far enough
Prime? Cancelled.
Kindle unlimited? Cancelled.
Audible? Cancelled.
Twitch? Cancelled.Not one cent from my wallet will ever be in Bezos’ hands again, from here on out.
Good on you. Voting with your wallet is exactly what you should do in a free society.
I’m over a year ahead of you. Dumped prime when they announced ad tier is default for streaming.
The downside is waiting 2-3 extra days for them to ship something you order, if you do order through amazon. They make sure to not release any order whatsoever without prime for days to entice you to bribe them for standard service.
Gotta cancel all of your account if youre at all serious. They keep your financial info if you dont
Just give them an old card
And block them when their email system spams you to fix it
Oh yeah, by all means, stop using all Amazon related services, then realize that about 50% of web services for banking, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, healthcare and energy are hosted on AWS
“Oh but my service is hosted on GCP”
Yeah and what do you think is the fallback in case of DRP?
Yes AWS is the standard for most of the internet, but do you think Amazon won’t notice if a whole bunch of users en masse decide to stop buying things from their warehouses?
I think their store is but a fraction of what they make in AWS, but you have a point.
I mean we can all do our small part. 🤷♂️ Something is better than nothing.
No, they’re totally right and should continue to spend every dollar they earn on Amazon while bemoaning the death of small businesses.
I… don’t understand this. It’s like it’s only 50% sarcasm somehow.
They have much more built out offerings, but smaller hosting providers and on-premise are always an option regardless. Obviously not including “Azure”.
