Breaking up with Amazon

If someone unionized Amazon employees they would change history.

Biden should go after them with a vengeance.

D’oh.

Since people are paying attention to me here, I’ll just post whatever. I don’t obey your rules. I’m about to have a second beer which means I’ll be drunk soon. I don’t drink much. Btw, today is my real birthday. It’s not my official birthday because my parents doctored my birth certificate so I could start school early and the doctoring stuck. 53, thanks for asking. How am I celebrating? All alone. I busted my ass today doing solar and didn’t get home in time to join the family for some covid safe event. They did leave me enchiladas, brownie/cookies, and beer though.

Awesome - and, as I’m sure you know, it’s Beethovan’s birthday too.

Not going out on a limb here with this rec, but this is like really good.

There are a few decent non-Amazon ebook outlets that have popped up as of late.

Good job getting 2 birthdays!

Maybe my aws programming rants belong here instead of /programming. God I hate aws with a passion.

What did I miss? Leatherass9 works for Amazon now?

Prime has one-click order. Couldn’t be any easier.

I’m content using Czech equivalents of Amazon. Sure it’s a bit more expensive but not much more.

With any luck this Bessemer thing will have been the result of an enormous amount of foul play by Amazon and there will be tons of evidence that’s what it was. That should give the movement to expand unionization rights some more credibility.

This is actually kind of the best outcome. I assure all of you that if that warehouse had unionized it would have been shut down the very next day and absolutely nothing would have changed.

Amazon are such pieces of shit and i dont think i could ever work for that company and sleep ok at night.

Also aws is the single most obnoxious piece of tech i’ve ever worked with.

Meh, failure begets failure and success begets success. Winning the unionization would be a lot better. Hell losing by a hair would be better than getting walloped liked they did.
