Almost every day I have a fight with my gf over her Amazon account. I told her we can not proceed with a meaningful relationship if she doesn't cancel it. Am I the crazy one?

“Growth and sustainability don’t have to be in opposition — in fact, our results show they reinforce each other.”
Oh yeah, makes total sense guy.
More context:
It would also be in stark defiance of Amazon’s stated climate goals, which center on reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
That’s not lost on the tech giant. But as Amazon spokesperson Margaret Callahan told the NYT, the “world looks different now than when we co-founded the climate pledge.”
“We’re being transparent about the challenges, investing in innovation, and delivering measurable results,” Callahan continued. “Growth and sustainability don’t have to be in opposition — in fact, our results show they reinforce each other.”
That is so cynical.
The USA and its legislation (10 year moratorium on all AI regulation) is what changed.
The world is continuously and slowly going in the same direction since they "pledged". Nothing has changed there.

Ah but the never-ending deluge of Just Dance Vance videos is worth it!
Holy Luigi!
We need Climate Action. How to nip this in the bud before they even start building the power plant. And not burning, or blowing up. That's bad for the world.

Did they think what would happen if the gas price goes up and their profitability is completely dependent on that?
Right? That's my thing, look at airlines and their Razer thin margins. They just built this megastructure and can't operate any of it without completely depending on gas prices.
Even without the green aspects no one stopped to think about the return on investment of layering the entire place in solar? 5 years from now? 20?

Call Johnny Silverhand.
At this rate we are gonna have to mass clone Johnny's engram. 1 nuke is not enough.
Anything from futurism.com should be immediately questioned.
Sounds like an engineering nightmare
Weren’t they supposed to be carbon neutral by 2030? Sure seems like they’re trending the wrong way
