  I respectfully disagree. Rather than changing politics after decades of austerity, the government provides advice for energy savings through a device by Amazon, a company that spies on people and pays practically no taxes.

    If this is what it takes for you to realise the government doesn’t care about you then fair enough I guess, but they haven’t done anything egregious here

      That’s not the point. I think that it is generally a bad idea if any government collaborates with such companies. So I agree that it’s a detail and there are issues of higher importance, but a government shouldn’t act this way.

    There’s plenty of reasons to get angry at amazon, this isn’t one of them

      It’s hypocrisy, it is a sufficient reason, it’s called holding up people and companies up to standards.
