More than 3,500 Amazon employees have signed a letter urging the e-commerce giant to take action on climate change, adding to growing activism by technology workers directed at their companies.

Just spent five hours on I-5 and observed Amazon Prime trucks like every 10 minutes going South from Bay Area. How does a “to your door” distributor accomplish what they are demanding without driving the company bankrupt? Typical Liberal “pie in the sky”.
