agree. Amazon is not fooling anyone. We're in bed with fossil fuel companies not to "help them transition" – that is laughable – but to make a shit ton of money. And we're taking a big financial risk by doing so. Fossil fuel's days are numbered. Public opinion is shifting.https://twitter.com/cloudquistador/status/1185968418069057536 …
Um, lack of organizing? Tech workers organizing and walking out is what led to Bezos announcing our climate pledge. Virtually all media outlets gave us credit for this. LOTS of organizing going on. @AMZNforClimatehttps://twitter.com/emahlee/status/1184516132914335744 …

Also, I didn't know about our oil and gas vertical until
@bcmerchant reported on it in February. And shockingly, neither did Amazon's own Director of sustainability!https://twitter.com/KYWeise/status/1116015448166780933 … -
Yep. Amazon has reached a level of complexity & (from a climate perspective) insurmountable contradictions that make it a rather fascinating case study for decarbonizing societies at large.

Yes—a good beginning! By <lack of organizing> I mean relative to a German-style level of co-governance of companies by unions & executives. The German system is deficient ofc but among the best we have—U.S. & UK unions have been broken for decades but w/o them I see no solutions.

Give it 5 years and there might be enough class consciousness in the tech space to discuss models of syndicalism
