I know this may come off as cheeky, but I’m being very sincere: if not us, then who? Sure I alone can’t upend Amazon, but we aren’t all alone and we aren’t all

I know this may come off as cheeky, but I’m being very sincere: if not us, then who? Sure I alone can’t upend Amazon, but we aren’t all alone and we aren’t all working for the juggernaut that is the Bezos machine.
Maybe I sound naive but every bit matters, especially given how many of us probably work at start-ups. You never know when your decisions will have an impact on a multibillion dollar company that simply hasn’t emerged yet.
- geodel 5y agoI think it would be like earlier during industrial revolution when people would vandalize train tracks or factories. It can slow down a bit at particular place and time but otherwise these things are inevitable.
- Forgeties79 5y agoI don’t think it’s particularity fair to compare directing a company in a productive direction to vandalizing/destroying the tech that’s threatening your livelihood.
- belval 5y agoThe people? Like it or not developing stuff like this is not illegal, and expecting people to grow a conscience when their livelihood depends on not having one is pointless. The unfortunately cynical answer is that we need to have representatives that will put laws in place to prevent this. It's both simple and complex due to the political landscape, but that's the only real long-term solution.
