I respect your attempt to narrow it down enough to maybe escape my generalization... The lesson is never put your trust in politicians

There are regulations in place

Unfortunately made and destroyed by policitians you can legally buy in the USA... They are cheap too, $10k gets you tons of access, for $100k you can make them dance like monkeys

This is the right point to make... Instead of managing people by the work they do or the objectives they achieve, they are managing literally where their butts sit

Which business isn't? I honestly want to know to restore a semblance of hope in humanity

AFAIK, a business that is not in bed with corrupt politicians is because they have ready been beaten or they can't afford it

It's pronounced "stremiOH-Sa"

Same... And since I still have not replaced their firetv sticks, I know use all their advertising as a list of "here is what's out, in case you want to sail for it"

Thank you Amazon hehehehe

Hmmm I wouldn't be so sure... It depends on their position in the market and how well they lobby the government

Remaining rich depends on them not believing climate change

Well think about if everybody did do that at the same time. Canceled Netflix, stopped going to Starbucks, stop shopping a certain places.

It's impossible to organize... More importantly, the government would bail them out because they are too big to fall

Maybe just for one week. What if everybody had enough gas in the world they could skip a day or two of getting gas.

Again, impossible to organize and completely useless.... By the end of the week the oil companies would be whole anyway. What do they care if they have a revenue dip for 3 days followed by a revenue bump as everybody ran out of gas and had to fill up again ?

I wish the "vote with your wallet" were real... It's as effective a "recycle your plastics"

It's only effective in deflecting responsibility to a party that is truly powerless to address the issues

"Support" is a strong word for Spotify ... They support extends to other clients offering help and assisting each other in forums

The only time I seemingly got to a Spotify support person was just because I was cancelling and they wanted to convince me otherwise

You say "bizarre" they say "marketing strategy"... They chose to do this knowing people wouldn't be milked $200 for an app, but if they make it look like a device, the sheep will be lured
