Does anyone have a good article or other source on how the IMF and World Bank have extorted the third world to maintain this neo-colonial system for many years? I’ve been intensely searching and nothing useful comes up. I thought this was common knowledge.

Amazon plans to lay off another 9,000 employees over the next few weeks, CEO Andrew Jassy said Monday.

This is in addition to the planned layoff of 18,000 employees that the ecommerce giant announced in January. This round of cuts will largely impact workers in Amazon’s advertising department, on its video live streaming service Twitch, and on the Amazon Web Services and People Experience and Technology Solutions teams.

“For several years leading up to this one, most of our businesses added a significant amount of headcount. This made sense given what was happening in our businesses and the economy as a whole. However, given the uncertain economy in which we reside, and the uncertainty that exists in the near future, we have chosen to be more streamlined in our costs and headcount,” Jassy wrote in a note to employees Monday.

The previous round of layoffs primarily impacted staffers in the Amazon stores and the People Experience and Technology divisions.

Both rounds of cuts were made as company leaders worked with teams across the company and looked at “prioritizing what matters most to customers and the long-term health of our businesses,” Jassy wrote.

Amazon did not announce these new reductions with the January layoffs because the teams were not yet done conducting their analyses of the company, Jassy wrote. The exact roles to be eliminated as part of this layoff round still have not been decided, but Amazon hopes to complete that by mid to late April. Employees will receive severance as well as transitional health insurance benefits.

Twitch is 100% unwatchable if you aren't subscribed to a stream or have Twitch Turbo or whatever. Try to have some background noise and watch someone play a game to get interrupted every 5-10 minutes with 9 ads in a row.

Yeah turns out France has like four different liberal parties, all with really stupid names and totally nebulous but functionally identical platforms, and between them they control parliament outright

Also four different left parties to nicely split up the left vote among the various ecologist, left, more left, and most left niches such that no single left-aligned group has even a tiny whiff of power

I haven't watched anything on twitch since like 2015 and it's been fine since if there are any streamers that are even slightly worth watching some nerds will take all their streams and edit them into highlights and post them on YouTube along with an archive of the full stream

I guess his parliamentary party has four subsidiary parties so it's more united than prior to 2017, but there are still also totally separate socialist, communist, and "ecologist" parties running as well

The separate communist and socialist parties each ALSO have 4+ independent subsidiary parties, so there are roughly a billion left parties clumped in four different groups

I used to watch a bunch of different stuff on twitch, but now I just toss my Amazon prime free sub at a single channel and watch that because clicking on anything else is so terrible.
