So pretentious by him.

I didn't know that Clegg was even kicking it with these guys
Feck me, they actually want to go bankrupt don't they?
I did a podcast on big tech from an investing perspective last week which might be of interest.
Thanks man!This is interesting pal. You just got a new subscriber
You laugh but I reckon Amazon having their own language is a fairly predictable end game. A limited, efficient language which is taught to kids in Amazon sponsored schools. A limited language which has no scope for small talk, gossip and criticism of the company.Going to be great when 10% of the planet speak Amazon Patois as their first language 20 years from now.

It seem some might be sympathetic to the union effortI'm always amazed at how these things unfold. I can see why a CEO might be crazy but all these execs who have to carry out this dirty work...what are they thinking?

Amazon this week gave marching orders to one of its consultants: Push hard on the narrative that legislation to rein in Amazon’s power will harm communities of color.
Legislation targeting Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple would hurt Hispanic business owners. An overhaul of antitrust laws would harm Black-owned newspapers. A bill targeting online sales of counterfeit goods would hurt people of color in the same way as voter ID laws.
These are some of the arguments that lawmakers considering tougher regulations on the tech industry are hearing from groups representing Black and Hispanic businesses — including several groups with financial backing from the nation’s wealthiest online companies.
At least six such groups advancing these arguments receive funding from or have close partnerships with Google, Amazon and Facebook’s parent company Meta, according to public financial disclosures. The tech companies, along with trade associations they belong to, are amplifying those messages as they seek to combat bipartisan regulatory proposals in both houses of Congress.
The tech companies are participating in a lobbying tradition: Large corporations have long donated to so-called affinity organizations that later take the companies side in Congress
Displaced families in Syrian camps are begging for donations on TikTok while the company takes up to 70% of the proceeds, a BBC investigation found.
Was reading this earlier - and was going to post it in the Hypernorm thread. Crazy stuff, but not really surprised given how social media companies behave.Do we have a Tik Tok thread? If so can someone move my post there since I can't find it.

Even before this I thought Tik Tok looks far worse than even the likes of Facebook and Instagram, but this is ridiculous.
Also, I have noticed that TIK TOK is mostly used by kids, majority of kids from my neighborhood who know how to hold the phone are using it, and I am literally talking about kids that are 3 years age and older. I hate their parents for allowing them, and I regulary criticise them for that, but the fact that the society allows those networks to be used by those kids is lowest thing we've reached in last 30-40 years probably.
Companies getting rich on kids and the likes of these people from Syria is sickening. I seriously cannot describe how much I hate this world we live in.

https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/12/mic...xchange-and-launches-10-year-partnership.htmlLONDON — U.S. tech giant Microsoft on Monday announced a 10-year partnership with the London Stock Exchange Group and took a near 4% stake in the U.K. bourse operator.
I think they are only for the corporate, their retail workers are not going to get affected.No longer a problem, a mere 6 months later.
18000 workers to be made redundant.
