"carbon price of $25 per tonne would squeeze out cattle ranchers, since landowners could make more money by allowing reforesting." "the EU’s emissions-trading system charges €80 ($93)"

Just saw this chilling report by @alex of @dair describing Amazon's wage theft and surveillance of its workers:

Sounds exactly like the reverse centaurs that @pluralistic warned us about, such as here:

I don't think I have ever bought anything off of #Amazon.
I do remember trying, a decade or so ago. I set up an account, and tried to get the thing I was after – but the whole experience was so utterly shit, that not only did I give up, I also put in the non-trivial amount of time it takes to make sure my account was completely deleted.
I fully intend on continuing my tradition of not ever buying anything off of BezosMart.
