"More than 340 tech workers at Amazon used the hashtag #AMZNSpeakOut in public statements that condemn the company for not taking sufficient action on the climate crisis."

340 whole workers?

Total number of amazon employees : 750,000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_(company)

So 749,660 employees did not protest? Shouldn't that be the real news?

Come on, that's a bit too dramatic. Tech people don't stay unemployed for too long.

Alright, so many downvotes and not a single reasonable critique. I was just saying that those people would very easily find new employment, so saying that they're "risking their livelihood" is far-fetched to say the least.

I think you’re being downvoted because you’re downplaying what they are potentially risking. They could be putting hundreds of thousands of dollars in their stock plans at risk. They could be risking getting blackballed. Who knows?
