It’s pretty telling that his company went all out against increased taxes in Seattle to help the homeless only to then start this initiative once being attacked by Bernie.
This shouldn’t be praised as companies doing good, it’s them shirking their taxes and having enough money to start a 2 billion dollar PR campaign.
Same shit with Amazon helping start a new Insurance plan, they want to demonstrate they have an alternative solution to Medicare for all.
Heck, look at the fall out from the Facebook / Cambridge Anlytica scandal, no new regulation, just a brief verbal flogging and FB assuring they will change.
This is all a sign of the times, corporations can’t be regulated and only when threatened, or in a deep scandal, will they briefly self regulate to show how they don’t need it.
Conservatives already hate the government and liberals buy up this PR, we seem pretty screwed. Goodbye democracy hello corporatocracy.
