>This is extraordinary and revealing. One of the most powerful politicians in the United States just said she’s going to break up an American company so that they can’t criticize her anymore

This reply is among the most depressing examples of PR I have ever encountered. I really hope it's seen for the cheap distraction that it is.

This entire new line of tactic from Amazon feels especially slimy, even for them.

From the minor "Naming their PR account 'Amazon News'", through the intentionally misleading post you caked it, to the outright gas-lighting / lying about drivers having to urinate and defecate in bags and bottles in their cars in order to meet their monitored times.

This is an bad direction they are looking to take us down. It's staring to smell like the 1800s.
