It looks like the internet archive is needed assistance, I just heard about this today and figured lemmy could help spread this message around

Agreed, now what do we do about it?

I quit a very very well paid IT job in a very big corp because I did not want to participate to their anti-human, anti-planet shit...

What are you doing about it?

What am I doing about it? For the most part, nothing at the moment besides actively refusing to purchase from a small number of companies—Nestlé, Walmart, Amazon, etc—mostly out of principal as I'm not illusioned enough to think one person will make a difference in this sense). Primarily because at the moment I live in a dead-end job making barely enough money to buy food and trying to keep my car from disintegrating long enough for me to get to work and back.

Frankly, I'd love to do more, but there's really not much I can do. Doesn't mean I have to like it though. Just because you don't have an alternative ready doesn't mean you're not allowed to dislike the current situation.

Thank you for your reply! You are doing what you can and that is important!

I appreciate you understanding. It really sucks our world has come to just having to deal with it most of the time.
