Vox is showing their left/progressive bias by framing Amazon’s response as “snarky”, basically providing a journalistic shield for authoritarian legislators. Consider that Senator Elizabeth Warren threatened to break Amazon (a private corporation) up (https://mobile.twitter.com/amazonnews/status/1375529101931520007 https://mobile.twitter.com/amazonnews/status/137552910193152...) for having the temerity to speak against her (for speaking against the government, which is comprised of legislators like her). Personally I do think these giant tech monopolies/oligopolies should face antitrust scrutiny, but not for their exercise of their right to free speech. I also wonder how else would corporations respond to misleading populist narratives? Amazon provided a minimum wage of $15/hour with benefits without legislative pressure (although some like to claim their pressure caused it). They did so for completely unskilled labor that is not compensated this way by other companies that operate warehouses. Even so, they receive critique from these legislators that seemingly don’t understand how businesses work, how they create value, and how that adds up to a functional economy. That deserves a response - and I don’t think corporations should have to remain silent or speak with undue deference while these legislators whip up populist outrage. Their direct and firmly toned response wastes no words and serves to bring these legislators back to Earth.
