Important proof that tech companies can do just fine at the government trough without a political action committee. Microsoft was very loath to shut its PAC down because of this contract fight with Amazon; employees insisted, and now they get the contract anyway. https://twitter.com/JasonLeopold/status/1187869165681438720 …

Salesforce's PAC similarly seems to exists solely to humiliate employees and make
@benioff look like a hypocrite, a job he can do all by himself. Amazon's is clearly growing into an attempt to buy off all of Congress, like the sugar lobby. Facebook's PAC is a travesty (Nunes!)Show this thread -
None of these should be legal, but until corporate PACs are banned, employees can follow Microsoft's lead and work on demonetizing them. Facebook in particular needs to decide whether it is an apolitical ambassador of American values, or an active player in the 2020 election.
