how do you crash amazon?
Don't buy anything from Amazon. Convince others to join your cause.
Right. All 10 of us will make a huge difference...
Why do you need to make a difference in the existence of Amazon. Stop trying to save the world and start trying to save your block.
Like, maybe call the city and report a pothole or something. Get a low hanging branch trimmed so it doesn’t hit a biker.
You’re right. Even with the might of 10 people you’d be a mote of dust on Amazon’s windshield. And you don’t have 10 people you have 1.
Amazon is named after a mighty river. And you’ve got a little beach shovel and and a bucket and you’re asking about how to stop the river.
The trouble with someone trying to find the biggest machine they can and pilot it, is that they might actually succeed in getting to those controls some day and then because they didn’t work themselves up from small to larger vehicles, they have no idea how to drive it and they crash.
Doing good works is about more than obtaining power. You also need competence. Like, a software developer is omnipotent in the realm he’s working in. Doesn’t mean that omnipotence actually results in anything valuable being done.
