“Free speech is the right to yell ‘theater’ in a crowded fire.” But Amazon are still assholes for arguing this.

      Is the behavior of one of the biggest tech companies in the world not relevant to technology? That seems a strange view to me.

        Correct, business and labor law news is not technology news, regardless of which company it is.

        This part of Amazon is not a tech company. It’s a logistics and e-commerce company and this news has zero relevance outside of US.

          AWS hosts 25% of the internet. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s not tech related, the company is in tech and unions within tech is a rapidly growing movement. Next you’re going to say that workers protesting at Microsoft isn’t tech related.

            If Walmart started building and selling nuclear reactors tomorrow, US-specific news on labour conditions in their stores still wouldn’t be technology related. I get that you don’t like them and will use every opportunity to dunk on them (there’s plenty of reason to) but why litter this community with irrelevant news for everyone else?

              Got it. You believe that the only thing relevant to technology is the things being made, but the people that make those things aren’t relevant. Let’s see how much tech news will come from those companies when the workers stop working.

              Labor is inseparable from it’s fruits.

                  You mean the people the maintain the biggest logistics network in the world? Not sure, but it sure as fuck is relevant to news about the company that hosts 25% of the internet.

              What a dumb hill to die on. Are you anti-labor or something? This will affect all of amazon, and AWS is one of the largest tech companies out there. If you don’t want this post on your feed, I invite you to hide it or block OP. The votes clearly show the community doesn’t agree with you and that they don’t mind this on their feed.

                Yeah, personal attacks! Yes, I’m undercover Amazon shill and have been fooling you all along. Downvotes means who’s right!

                Get a grip.

                  I mean, if you took what I said as a personal attack I don’t know what else to say. Are you sure it’s me that needs to get a grip?

        It’s probably better suited for business, US politics or work reform related community.
