I see Amazon made no comment on the rights of Bondage seeking individuals.  This is an outrage. I'll bet they don't even support universal pain tolerance affirming surgery.

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.

Lol support tranny and immigrant rights while selling products manfactured  by slave labor.

Sounds like a bunch of corporate doublespeak.  Amazon was a great business idea and they do a good job of delivering products to customers quickly but they should shut up and stay out of politics.  A lot of things in the list below are great ways for a big business to use the power of government to hurt smaller competitors.

Quoted:
https://www.aboutamazon.com/our-company/our-positions

The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is too low and should be raised Amazon plans to have almost their entire business automated so they would love to raise the cost of business for their competition

Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors Are they going to do away with all the amazon trucks delivering products to their customers?

The energy industry should have access to the same technologies as other industries.  I don't know what they mean by this.  Is there a law that says "The energy industry is not allowed to use computers"?

Diversity and inclusion are good for business—and more fundamentally—simply right.12/50+ or whatever the numbers are this year

The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected  There are no laws in this country against being homosexual, bisexual, or any other variation.  Now, if we bring in enough moslems that might change.

We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform  I think this is leftist code words for "There shouldn't be a border around the United States" but it is difficult to say for sure because they are purposely confusing the term "immigrants" with the term "illegal aliens."

Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology.  Any particular reason, other than it will make it easier for the government when the time comes for mass murder in this country?

Counterfeiters should receive stronger penalties under federal law.  Unless the government or central banks are doing it.  Then they call it QE or some other term which makes it ok.

Consumer data privacy should be protected under federal law.What laws would amazon propose to protect consumer's data from amazon?

Corporate tax codes should incentivize investment in the economy and job creation  What kind of incentives are you talking about?  Raising the minimum wage is an incentive for investment.

Number two is in their own self interest.

Number 3 is just lol, with all the voluntary Alexa type spying.

Number 4 is also lol because this company doesn't pay corporate tax. You can't skeet around a tax as a multi billion dollar company and have a damn thing to say about what tax money should do.

Check out buying directly from the merchant. I got a better price for a CDI torque wrench from CDI than from the amazon choices.

Listen here peasant, you just keep buying our crap and don't question what we tell you the truth is!

Even better would be the basic rights of workers, which they happen to not mention, in having a stable work situation.  Such as having a job with the company they work for that is permanent and long-term, rather than being a cloud of temps whose hours get cut on a whim to trim the herd.

Amazon use to have good discounted prices. But to a large extent their prices are no better than from the manufacturer’s site or other retailers. And many retailers now do free shipping with $50 orders. I have shifted about half my online shopping to more reliable (non counterfeit) retailers. Rock Auto is much better for auto parts. Dltrading is better for knives.
