Only idiots will actually buy what Amazon is trying to sell here.
Idiots that can be leveraged for political and consumer purposes. What's wrong with calling that out?

Meanwhile/ironically, a heralded Environmentalist has finally decided to tell the truth:
On Behalf Of Environmentalists, I Apologize For The Climate Scare - Quillette
The term is net zero and its not 100% carbon free cause it needs electricity which 65% of washington's states electrical grid is from coal power plants.
Might as well have called it "Virtue Signal Arena".
Not a good look from Amazon, whose carbon footprint rose 15% from 2018 to 2019, up to 51.1 megatonnes of CO2 annually. That's more than about two-thirds of the countries on the planet...
Big thread bump, but I just wanted to add that Amazon's carbon footprint rose 19% year-over-year from 2019 to 2020, up to 60.64 megatonnes. See Carbon Footprint
That's more than about 3/4 of the countries on the planet, vs. 2019 data; assuredly even worse comparing to 2020 data by country. "Climate pledge" indeed.
only if they sell 'Krabby Patties'IT SHOULD BE CALLED DAVY JONES' LOCKER!!!
In fairness... Has anyone taken a cursory glance at that stadium from an aerial shot? And let their mind wander?Everyone thinks this arena name is crazy, never heard the story about how the Arizona Cardinals stadium almost was named for a restaurant named "Pink Taco". And it was a legit offer.
Pink Taco makes play for stadium
Yup.. I hate the term "virtue signalling" because it's meant to crap on anyone who speaks out for progressive ideas, without any consideration of the merit of those ideas. But when an organization is so clearly out of step with the PR they are pushing out, what do you call it? It's almost like we need a new term.
How come theres so few updates on this place vs UBS Arena?
