Our Positions
A cynical reading:<p>- The federal minimum wage in the U.S. is too low and should be raised<p>(We&#x27;d like it if Walmart had higher labor costs)<p>- Human-induced climate change is real, serious, and action is needed from the public and private sectors<p>- The energy industry should have access to the same technologies as other industries<p>(Yes, through lobbying and lies the oil companies are fucking over our planet.  But we&#x27;re going to keep them as customers.  Somebody should do something, but not us.)<p>- Diversity and inclusion are good for business—and more fundamentally—simply right<p>- We strongly support the rights of immigrants and immigration reform<p>(It&#x27;d be cool if there were more programmers for us to hire, more cheaply)<p>The rights of LGBTQ+ people must be protected<p>(We want to continue to employ LGBTQ+ people)<p>- Governments at all levels—federal, state, and local—should have access to the best technology<p>(Yeah, we&#x27;re also going to keep providing services to ICE and China or whoever)<p>- Governments should work quickly to put in place a regulatory framework for facial recognition technology<p>(We recognize that someone should do something about this, but it&#x27;s not going to be us)<p>- Counterfeiters should receive stronger penalties under federal law<p>(Nobody counterfeits Kindles or other Amazon brands on Amazon, but somehow the problem is impossible for us to solve for anyone else.  Or we&#x27;d make less money, which is kind of the same thing when you think about it)<p>- Consumer data privacy should be protected under federal law<p>(Fuck facebook)
