I really don't see Tim Bray as coming out as an anti capitalist here. That's why this is amusing. To clarify, it's not bad what he did, he is the good guy now.

To clarify, it's not bad what he did, he is the good guy now. To put him up as an example of anti capitalism in its own right (even discounting the fact that the warehouse workers who were sacked are not) is hilarious.
Edits - As most comments in the thread suggest, most people are not seeing this as a form of anti-capitalism at all.

- blueline 6y agoliterally in the article, in his own words: >At the end of the day, the big problem isn’t the specifics of Covid-19 response,” ... “It’s that Amazon treats the humans in the warehouses as fungible units of pick-and-pack potential. Only that’s not just Amazon, it’s how 21st-century capitalism is done. how is it "hilarious" to take this sentiment as anti-capitalist? how could this be interpreted another way?
