That photo you used reminds me of the packaging for the game You Don’t Know Jack. Intentional or coincidental?

This measure will probably be voted down, since the majority of shares are owned by folks looking for a good investment rather than not doing evil.

Boycott Amazon.

So today it costs at least $1,845.70 to vote.

Do you get voting rights if you own ETFs? I know a lot of civic minded folks who invest via index funds. You may have voting rights you weren’t aware of if Amazon is in the basket…

why would i do that when I can be smug about not shopping at wal mart, a store with no branches accessible to me, an urban dweller, and have bezos send me sundries with <24 hour turnaround time? :wink:
