You Can’t Trust Amazon When It Feels Threatened

I&#x27;m not sure who approved those tweets, but it was a serious messup.<p>Amazon can be anti-union -most big companies are-, but actively trolling popular politicians on twitter is a really bad look. They should know better than wading into a social media fight with nothing to win.

You can&#x27;t trust it when it isn&#x27;t either. Firms are not obligated to be &quot;trusted&quot; (although the argument to do so as beneficial for business is an easy one to make), and one should expect dirty pool at any juncture where the cost-benefit is seen as favorable.

To add an additional layer to this, unions are a market level element, not something individual to one company, so unions don&#x27;t threaten Amazon in any way, in fact they might help amazon further increase their moat by increasing the barrier to entry.<p>Unions are a threat to the billionaires, not the company. So this is also to say that Amazon will lie when there is a risk to the bottom line of it&#x27;s ownership. That is very different than being willing to lie if the company itself is threatened.

Companies should not be treated as people. And hence, we shouldn&#x27;t have expectations of companies to be people-like.

See this follow apology of sorts from Amazon for the Tweet: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26678604" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=26678604</a>

In my experience you can’t trust anyone when they feel threatened. Maybe some monks in Tibet don’t have a breaking point, but everyone else does.<p>I think Amazon (correctly) thinks there isn’t much of a pro-social movement in this country. Trump received the most votes of any sitting US president, in the middle of a raging pandemic without health care. There’s a decent chance this unionization doesn’t go very far, and Amazon will be the only company in their space not exploiting their workers.

&gt; They didn’t ask me that question when AWS turned Parler off<p>Because &quot;words speak louder than actions&quot; or something.

Either this is Jassy&#x27;s first bit of drama -- cleaning up Bezos&#x27; parting gift to him, or he&#x27;s part of it and we&#x27;ll see more of this.
