Oh no, she waited until she had direct experience while doing the right thing before she quit her job over it.

If she was the drone you make her out to be, she never would have penned this piece.

You mean she waited until it impacted her, before she discovered any sense of her own morality....

Drones aren't cynical and self-serving. Your use of that word here is extremely confusing.

Maybe there's a new colloquial meaning that I'm not aware of. If that's the case, please share it.

I just think you're being a little overly critical of someone who criticized Bezos and quit her job over her principles.

If she was really as spineless as you make her out to be, she could have never drawn this in the first place OR she could have just STFU when they silenced her over it.

Instead she stood up for herself and what's right. And for some reason you think that's not enough.
