You weren't "laid off", you were fired, because the company doesn't need you anymore. Calling it a "layoff" exonerates the company, as if it was something unfortunate and outside their control.
The following will give an idea of my concern. The problem that nobody addresses is that police have overtaken FBI in authority because of their ability to commit espionage. The courts and all agencies have been accessed in every way possible by AWS "highly available" services "mission critical". So an agenda is there given by unelected officials. It looks like the WTO is Firstnet Authority and has created a network under the secrecy of DHS fusion centers run by a version of "Nazified Police."If we treat this like a coup and the fraud, which you have no idea how extensive it is thanks to AWS, as a bounty, we would be better off.

Improve public safety and justice outcomes with the AWS Cloud

I get that the writing was a bit over the top. But the story, my goodness. Giving a damn is such a rare commodity. It makes me sad when companies throw away people with that quality.

i dont think employees are expected to prioritize one customer of (we would assume) little monetary consequence in this way. amazon would rather everyone keep heads down, dont let the casualties slow down the machine or create exception cases, and definitely dont bother upper management with your personal salvation quests.

Well then you get PR disasters like these, I have moved off of AWS and helped several services that use AWS at atleast 4 companies, who used to pay AWS mid 6 figures, and been paid chump change to do it, but I helped just cause AWS sucks I didn't spend much time really, 1 weekend each. Was the pay worth yeah, was seeing AWS's revenue hopefully take a minor hit worth it, most definitely would do it again hit me up if…
after he literally single-handedly ruined the product by personally censoring the editorial team and/or firing large numbers of journalists on multiple, extremely high-profile PR-disastering occasions [1] [2]
from that perspective, Bezos seems perfectly content to weather PR disasters from his companies and drape them in bizarre rationalizations.
