Mostly retired Toronto-based union activist & GNU/Linux Free/Libre software nerd.
But is it produced in paper mills with a unionized workforce that pays decent wages? Does the paper used come from sustainable and ethical forestry practices? We need to be mindful of "greenwashing".

For instance, I found a little audio amplifier with inputs for everything under the sun for $6. From what I could tell the thing normally sells for around $60-70. The only issue? The remote control didn't work (I don't care, I learned how to push buttons as a child).

I've hit the point of hating big box tech shops and online stores. Give me the little "hole in the wall" bankruptcy stock/refurb shops or the Amazon returns junk bin shops all usually run by really cool local immigrants any day of the week. I get some great deals too.

While so many Indigenous nations lack clean drinking water, US tech oligarchs want to suck up clean water to build their corporate empires. Fuck them.

They beat the shit out of Amazon Labour Union leader Chris Smalls, the only Black member of the last flotilla. That the Israeli thugs would do this to Great is completely believable. There are reports from eyewitnesses.
