    *“I’m fine with these…” *

    You know the entire point here was likely to deny the drivers climate control and whatever X continuous hours of operation before mandatory 12 hours away type laws apply to people who operate vehicles professionally? They want people to burn/freeze and frantically move until they die on 72 hour shifts without overtime pay.

      100% they don’t want to pay for air-con. That can get expensive in the summer months. Better to remove the option all together.

      That’s idiotic. The point of these is to drop their carbon footprint. These are a good thing.

        “Drop their carbon footprint”

        Bezos laughs at you while he takes a helicopter to his jet to another helicopter to the smaller yacht that transports him to his actual yacht.

              Nope. I just know that there are many others getting rich as fuck and bezos isn’t CEO anymore. People get distracted by one person and don’t blame the entire C suite or the board.

        Oh yeah, because Amazon has such a great trackrecord of wanting to reduce their carbon footprint.

          They do. Out of most companies they do. Fuck them for so many things. But they are the only company using a huge fleet of electric vehicles and other ways they have reduced things.
