Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

I work in IT My job is at some point going to rely on me knowing Amazon web services. I'd rather put a loaded gun in my mouth and blow my brains all over the roof than deal with anything Amazon.
I feel the same about Apple and Disney.
I have a very personal vendetta against amazon and due to the nature of my job, I've just had to separate work from personal in that nature. As much as it sucked
AWS: Ass With Shit
Seriously though, I feel like AWS obfuscates the idea of "software runs on a remote server" to an unnecessary degree, including terms. (Maybe I am not experienced enough yet, or have not drank the kool-aid)
The only workloads that get value from AWS are hyperscale application delivery and big data computation and research and if you are doing those things you're probably already a shitty business with no ethics. Normal people don't need it and shouldn't use it.
I've been laid off and my alternative was to relocate to [insert place whete there's been recent news stories about controversial land use] and effectively head the logistics for the construction of [insert tech project that has been drawing a lot of figurative and literal fire].
I decided to look for the bag elsewhere.
