In Australia similar arguments were made about welfare recipients buying plasma TVs and PlayStations. The highest level of welfare payment does not even cover rent.

I guess they made up their minds on the question of whether you can separate the art from the artist.

Unemployment has just increased to 4.5%, there's an ongoing housing and rental crisis, and cost of living is impossible for a lot of people.

"This will provide clearer direction for officers... and enable them to focus on matters that meet the threshold for criminal investigations"

Like what, arresting people protesting genocide? Policing toilets against trans people?

Exactly. The only reason we're seeing mainstream crowds hit the streets in protest is bcs they can see their rights may be compromised. So now they're saying we should all put our personal "peccadillos" aside (i.e. minority discrimination) and fight for the right to brunch.

I referred to AWS specifically bcs it's the topic of the thread. But AWS is representative of a shady and exploitative industry that people here seem happy to accept and in turn defend. I found the posts that followed depressing, resigning into a false ethical comfort.

A common state within the tech industry. Unless of course when it comes to enabling fascist, genocidal governments and abhorrent labor conditions. Nice.
