And what were the other 9? I hate when they say hand wave details. If they were to amazons benefit then state what they were. Otherwise it looks like you're tugging at facts.

So thats both sides of the spin...
- arp242 3y agoThat's not important; it's just to establish that Amazon lobbyists are active. The reason they were banned is because of their refusal to attend the hearings. That is: "either fully participate or don't participate at all – you can't pick and choose what's convenient for you". This is also what Amazon's reply addresses. I don't know if Amazon's claims that these meetings are "clearly one-sided and not designed to encourage constructive debate or objective scrutiny" are accurate.
