You are repeating yourself, as I wrote above, I never claimed it wasn’t, just that it was always bad.
Doesn’t make an ounce of difference, people will continue to use it, just as they always did, and Amazon will continue to fuck their workers and cheat their customers and cheat on taxes, just as they always did. The bigger and richer they get, the more they will fuck both customers employers and society. That’s the nature of a complete sociopath with no contact to reality like Jeff Bezos.
But as I stated above, that’s perfectly OK, because nobody will do anything, especially Americans where half the population actively support that shit.
Do I sound negative here? You bet I’m negative, because as I wrote earlier, I saw this shitshow 2 decades ago, but what good does it do to see evil rise, and warn against it, when nobody cares?
I bet that article contains very little I didn’t predict at least a decade ago, monopolistic abuse,declining service at increasing cost, extreme waste in the name of efficiency, environmental problems, work safety problems, horrendous working condition.
But you know the ONE thing I don’t give a shit about, is if people receive worse service, because that was the easiest prediction of all, because that’s always how it ends with near monopoly giants.
Just get over yourselves, and shop somewhere else. If you can’t get it anywhere else, you don’t need it.
