> The article does not mention the list of countries
No, but it links to the coalition website, which does.
> Is it really 20?
If you're skeptical of the number of countries, why would this skepticism be any different if the countries were listed in the article? The reporter could just as easily make them up. Or are you suggesting that the reporter cannot count to 20?
> Are those all countries or are some US states?
So now, aside from suggesting the reporter has trouble counting, you're also suggesting the reporter cannot tell countries apart from US states? What is the basis of this seemingly random question? You could just as easily say any other seeming non sequitur like 'are those all countries or are some flowers?'
> Is it happening in my country?
Why not check the primary source, linked to in the article?
- aaron695 5y ago> be any different if the countries were listed in the article? 100% yes. This is basic common sense. Is this no longer taught in school for those without common sense? FYI: If there are any children on HN, if you want to lie/mislead people you keep facts and figures to a minimum. This stops people fact checking. 20 countries.... What 20? If they were listed you could check them. This way it's a vague fuzzy claim, how do you disprove? Cambodia is on the web site, it's factory workers where lied to by management. They sell to many companies and Amazon sells some of those products. Soooo is this in the 20? They don't work for Amazon using normal common sense. They are also mostly fired, are the ones with jobs still striking? Who knows if they are even in the 20 countries? This is what adults do to muddy the waters and waste time. The claim "Amazon employees in 20 countries will strike" is probably fiction. I wonder which Amazon oil refinery it is, I guess since the author can count we just trust it?

- Kiro 5y agoTurns out the number was indeed wrong (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29304080 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29304080) so your obnoxious comment was uncalled for.
- Ansil849 5y agoThe comment you link to indeed says that there were 20 countries, so no the number was not wrong.
