#1 What exactly is a virtual protest?

It's like those 'die-ins' when they lie down on the floor and pretend to die. Which is when I'd love to light an entire brick of Black Cat firecrackers and wish for the good old days of M-80's and cherry bombs.

Amazon also recently carried out the largest layoffs in its 29-year history, slashing 27,000 positions across its cloud computing, advertising, retail, and other departments, since last fall.

Clearly they need to keep going.

#6 You have to be dumb to participate in a walkout at a company that is doing layoffs unless you have Michael Jordan skills or are really need some extended MineCraft hours.

#7 What exactly is a virtual protest?
Stay home, wear pajamas, and drink hot chocolate.
