- The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is too low and should be raised
(We'd like it if Walmart had higher labor costs)
- Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors
- The energy industry should have access to the same technologies as other industries
(Yes, through lobbying and lies the oil companies are fucking over our planet. But we're going to keep them as customers. Somebody should do something, but not us.)
- Diversity and inclusion are good for business—and more fundamentally—simply right
- We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform
(It'd be cool if there were more programmers for us to hire, more cheaply)
The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected
(We want to continue to employ LGBTQ+ people)
- Governments at all levels—federal, state, and local—should have access to the best technology
(Yeah, we're also going to keep providing services to ICE and China or whoever)
- Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology
(We recognize that someone should do something about this, but it's not going to be us)
- Counterfeiters should receive stronger penalties under federal law
(Nobody counterfeits Kindles or other Amazon brands on Amazon, but somehow the problem is impossible for us to solve for anyone else. Or we'd make less money, which is kind of the same thing when you think about it)
- Consumer data privacy should be protected under federal law
(Fuck facebook)
