A good response when the company starts with the "we're a family" BS, is to reply (with a smile on your face, to be safe) "good, then nobody can ever be fired!". It can be a lighthearted way to point out the absurdity of the concept.

Obama _far_ preferred focusing on domestic, societal issues over foreign policy and long-term strategy.

Where else does it happen? (sincere question)

I have the same feelings. I'm really fine with Amazon -- but I'd be much more fine by seeing them reduced via antitrust actions, with the goal of seeing more competition.

First, I'd like to separate AWS from Amazon the Bazaar. It's just too much control over _both_ the Internet (including all other e-commerce) and retail merchandise commerce.

It's like they own the railroads, the ports, the trucks, and the stores -- we've seen the Robber Baron movie already.

> The whole article is a hit piece designed to get whip people into a furor. And lately I've been noticing propublica publishing a lot of those.

Yes. The story is shaped and told to feed the "Capitalism and Wealthy People are Bad" narrative.

Californiafication is far, far worse than any kind of gentrification. I feel sorry for my beloved home state of Texas.
