Gatekeeping. Amazon can find ways to pay its employees a bit more to keep up, but a smaller competitor, or just-starting-out potential competitor, is a lot less likely to be able to do so.

That's mighty nice of the  to call for higher minimum wage once they achieved market dominance.   Amazon can eat the 15 an hour.  You local grocery or hardware store can not.

Guess the right thing to do is to support amazon.

As for the copy rights and global warming points.  They could just as easily prohibit any goods made in china from being sold in their market place like they did with gun parts.

The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is too low and should be raised - That's good business for Amazon.  They're near the front of automation and getting rid of unskilled manual labor.  If they can force their less automated competitors to have to pay more for labor, it helps Amazon a lot.  Costco is right there along side them asking for this.  Costco pays small numbers of highly skilled laborers above $15/hour already.  Walmart pays large numbers of low skilled laborers near minimum wage.  If the federal minimum wage goes to $15, Walmart gets hosed; Amazon and Costco don't notice.

Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors - I'll take it more seriously when rich liberals start moving out of low lying coastal cities like San Francisco and Miami.  For now property values there just keep going up despite this impending doom.  Until then, even they don't believe it.

The energy industry should have access to the same technologies as other industries. - Not sure what their bullshit here is.  Probably something else that's wrong too.

Diversity and inclusion are good for businessand more fundamentallysimply right. - Discriminatory exclusion is fundamentally wrong, yes.  Inclusion in business is not necessarily good.  Here's a thought experiment:  Are women better engineers than men? If yes, we should only hire female engineers.  If no, we should only hire men engineers.  If they're on average equally qualified, we should hire the best person for each job and not make a fuss about inclusion.  Now repeat for every protected class.

The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected - Yes.

We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform - This statement is mushy handwaving to avoid having to state a stance. I too strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform: build the wall; imprison employers who use illegal labor; seize illegals' property, imprison them for one year in Sheriff Joe's outdoor jail, then deport them; enact a new immigration lottery system that only allows the best people we can steal from other countries.

Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology. - It's going to be as bad as Smart Meters!!!

Counterfeiters should receive stronger penalties under federal law. - Amazon doesn't believe this.  They make money acting as the middleman in transactions of counterfeits.  This is simply lip service.

Consumer data privacy should be protected under federal law. - Doesn't matter.  Consumer data is stolen so often and in such large quantities that it is becoming less and less valuable.

Corporate tax codes should incentivize investment in the economy and job creation - Yeah.  And now everyone from every place on the political spectrum inserts their own fantasy of what this means.

The ship has sailed on buying American, not supporting China and the like. It's a great way to think but reality is everyone is now tied to China whether they like it or not. We've sold out, it's done.
Your investments, products you buy, media you consume, meds, healthcare, cars, clothes everything is tied to China. They even own the toll roads and probably make money off your water and waste. They own half the fucking land now too.
