The Guardian digs into the dangers of working for Amazon

I know you’re being sarcastic, but I’ll play along.

Ahem…

Nahhhh. If he doesn’t give a shit now, more money isn’t going to make him start.

Making rich people richer so they can afford to help the poor people under them is a fairy tale the GOP tell their believers.

I’m thinking less money is worth trying. Time to try to at least reign in, if not kick, my Amazon spending habits. I’ll also “contact” them, and let them know that I’m still employed, I’m just avoiding their services until they improve their shitty practices.

ETA for giggles, I did a bit of Googling and math:

Amazon employs 566,000 people worldwide. (link)

Jeff Bezos is worth $151 billion USD (link)

Jeff Bezos has $266,784.45 per person that works for him. (rounded down).

If he gave every employee a $100,000 bonus for Christmas, he would still have more money than I’m likely to ever see in my lifetime.
