Summary

Ed and Jathan from This Machine Kills (@machinekillspod) are back to discuss another titan of the tech industry. Amazon's annual leader to shareholders has been released, and in it they advance a sort of inverse labour theory of value (who can be surprised!), with hilarious results. It's scale is now approaching a level that is hard to comprehend, so come with us across the event horizon. But first, we discuss Labour's performance in the elections and the leadership's steadfast ability to not learn anything. If you want more Labour talk, this week's bonus has us reviewing Jon Cruddas MP's terrible book about The Dignity of Work, which you can get here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/51099434 *MILO ALERT* Check out Milo’s live stand-up show (to be streamed over Zoom!) on May 30th here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/milo-edwards-pindos-tickets-152386986579 If you want access to our Patreon bonus episodes, early releases of free episodes, and powerful Discord server, sign up here: https://www.patreon.com/trashfuture We support the London Renters Union, which helps people defeat their slumlords and avoid eviction.
