I stopped using Amazon like 5 years ago, I get annoyed when eBay purchases show up in Amazon packaging because they use Amazon logistics
I stopped using it 20 years ago, but the point is that this kind of shit still affects all of us, customers or not. These fuckers are intent on burning down our planet just so billionaires can add some extra billions to their pile of money, and a handful of myopic techbros can go "Well akshually it is a very useful tool if you know how to use it".
Fuck them all and their selfish murderous ways.

"We're committed to 2040 net-zero goals."
"But how do you plan on getting there?"
"We're committed to it."
Btw, net-zero is just a greenwashing term. Allowing emissions while balancing them on some spreadsheet in some obscure way is not the same as reducing emissions. It allows more pollution while pretending something is being done about it. Hey, like good old recycling.
That is only partially true. With a working CO2 emission trading scheme this "balancing" means massive amounts of cross financing of beneficial projects, eg for renewable ebergy projects etc. It adds a financial benefit to saving emissions and that is the only language markets seem to understand. It is by no means perfect but it is not just greeneashing and nothing else.
Who the fuck authorized this?
The company remains committed to 2040… er… no- 2050, no- 2060 goals
