I read a LOT of Washington Post. I really appreciate the heads up on the Thursday strike--apparently, that's gonna be a severe news diet day.

Bezos pays for a significant fraction of the climate journalism in the US though. A lot of the activist crowd depends on it somewhat to get the word out.

(I'll note that he's doing it because he was afraid that Amazon Employees for Climate Justice would turn into a union when they started making asks about working conditions)
