It's possible to get obsessed with anything, but obsession with money is one of the worst. Obviously in the world as it exists now everyone needs some amount of money to live, but above and beyond that there isn't much of a reason to be concerned with it.
Money conceals the social relationships which create it, lossily compressing them into a single dimension. It's a useful invention for exchange of grain or cattle between adjacent villages, acting as a sort of memory aid for mutuality, but its lack of information preservation also makes it easy for people to construct dysfunctional systems and societies.
It's a bit like premature rounding in mathematics. If you round all your fractional numbers then after a series of operations your calculations will turn into nonsense, and something comparable happens to human relationships with money systems if they become too elaborate and opaque.

On Amazon being an appalling company, I agree. It's not just the warehouse staff who get abused either.
But here's the thing.
This isn't a problem unique to Amazon. Many companies behave in similar ways. They're just not as big or well known as Amazon, and so stories about them don't get into the technology news.
This is a Capitalism problem, not an Amazon problem. It's also about the failure of unions to act in the interests of workers and to adapt their organizing methods to a post-industrial setting. -

"We must dismantle the capitalist identity systems if we want to destroy systems of oppression based on identity or biased access to knowledge. We must get rid of the engines of this system that are advertising, tracking and permanent identification. It is necessary to question and dismantle the racism, the neo-colonialism, the sexism of the companies of Silicon Valley instead of being surprised that their algorithms are racist."

@strypey @pennyfortheguy If I ever met Alex Jones I'd say: Look, Alex, what are you doing with your life? Take a break. Think about it. And then make a change. Otherwise your entire life will be wasted on pure BS. Maybe you could be a real activist and fight for real changes for real people, instead of all this fake stuff. -

Some days I read the news and think we need some kind of movement against tech getting even more disastrously awful. Maybe we could call it "the Free Software movement" or something like that. -

@antanicus @animeirl as Eben Moglen said a couple of years ago, owning the network infrastructure is the final stage of monopoly control for companies like Facebook and Google. Once they control the services and the hardware then there is no escape from lock-in and pervasive spying for the end user. Taking back control over the network is a mostly unrealized project, but if new radio bandwidth becomes available for data then it might be possible. Trying to stop or delay corporate encroachment like FreeBasics is also worthwhile. -
