    "Amazon Cancels New York HQ2"

    https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/14/tech/amazon-hq2-nyc/index.html

    Congrats New York on keeping Jeff I-make-the average American salary-every-10-seconds Bezos from devouring 5 billion worth of your hospitals, fire departments, public schools, and other public services.

    A good reminder that it's possible to fight the sociopathic corporate billionaire ruling class, but it needs the 99% organizing and taking collective action.

    1. Game Workers Unite Wants Activision Blizzard to Fire Its CEO
      By Stefanie Fogel from Variety

      Grassroots labor organization Game Workers Unite is calling on Activision Blizzard to fire its CEO, Bobby Kotick, following massive layoffs at the video game publisher earlier this week.

      “Upending 800 workers’ lives while raking in millions in bonuses for you and your c-suite buddies isn’t leadership, it’s theft,” Game Workers Unite said on Twitter Wednesday. “We, the workers of Activision and their friends, have had enough. Join us in saying that it’s time to #FireBobbyKotick.”

      Upending 800 workers' lives while raking in millions in bonuses for you and your c-suite buddies isn't leadership, it's theft.

      We, the workers of Activision and their friends, have had enough. Join us in saying that it's time to #FireBobbyKotick. ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾

      — Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 GDC (@GameWorkers) February 13, 2019

      Activision Blizzard announced on Tuesday it’s laying off approximately 775 workers, calling the move a “de-prioritizing of initiatives that didn’t meet expectations.” It plans to refocus on core first-party franchises like “Call of Duty,” “Candy Crush,” and “Overwatch.”

      But, the publisher also reported record revenues during fiscal 2018. Net revenue last quarter was $2.38 billion, which beat the company’s previous outlook of $2.24 billion. Net income for the year was $1.8 billion, an increase compared to the $273 million it reported for 2017, while net revenue was $7.5 billion, up from $7.02 billion in 2017.

      That money, along with the reported $30 million Bobby Kotick makes in a year as CEO, comes from the labor of Activision Blizzard employees, Game Workers Unite said.

      “It’s disgusting to hear Kotick boasting about record revenue for the company then announcing an 8% staffing cut in the next breath,” it said. “If we divided Kotick’s obscene annual pay (one the highest paid CEOs in the world), it alone could pay full salaries for all 800 laid off workers.”

      If we divided Kotick's obscene annual pay (one the highest paid CEOs in the world) it alone could pay full salaries for all 800 laid off workers. #FireBobbyKotick

      — Game Workers Unite ✊🏿✊🏽✊🏾 GDC (@GameWorkers) February 13, 2019

      The organization also took issue with Activision Blizzard’s recent decision to award its new chief financial officer, Dennis Durkin, a $15 million bonus for taking the job. Durkin served as CFO for five years until May 2017, when he became chief corporate officer, according to Bloomberg. He returned to the role after Spencer Neumann left the publisher to join Netflix.

      “Activision, under Kotick’s leadership, gave a $15 million dollar bonus to the CFO just for changing his job title, then they have the gall to turn around and lay off 800 workers just days later? #FireBobbyKotick,” Game Workers Unite said.

      “The cycle of layoffs continue to derail our industry because of the prioritization of shareholder profits over workers lives and quality game development,” it added. “If you want to help change the industry for the better, we encourage you to get involved today.”

      Variety contacted Activision Blizzard for comment, but it did not immediately respond.

    Interview with GM retiree as 15,000 GM workers set to be laid off - after GM got a 51 billion bailout, 510 mil tax cut, making record-setting profits. Very interesting discussion of worker organization, rumblings of a US general strike (advocated by head of Flight Attendants Union) during the next government shutdown looming this Friday. How that could build momentum with the green new deal, other labor movements, strikes, etc.

    "Gearing up for possibility of another Trump shutdown, airport workers ready mass protests in 80 major cities"

    https://www.nationofchange.org/2019/02/11/gearing-up-for-possibility-of-another-trump-shutdown-airport-workers-ready-mass-protests-in-80-major-cities/

    Shut every airport, school, garbage collection facility down with strikes. The airport shutdowns in particular disproportionately hurt the rich fuckers who can afford to be flying from conference to golf course to champagne toast to skiing in the Swiss Alps every other day.

    1. Shut Down the Democratic National Convention
      By Chris Hedges from NationofChange
      Corporate Democrats rigged the primary elections. They sold us out to Wall Street. They stripped us of our civil liberties. And now they want us to be mute props in their political theater. Democracy will only come from the streets.

    @celesteh I've had this same thought. As a professional video game developer, I need to make them to feed my 4& 7 year old and put a roof over their head, etc..

    So I try to make games that are political & relevant, to have an impact beyond entertainment. I also spend afternoons teaching my kids regenerative agriculture, & have taught them how to harvest water sky, as corporate industrial waste is starting to pollute our water table (as it has in 3000 communities across America)
