Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Also just not buy things from Amazon until the strike is over. Real stores exist!

(I say this as a recluse who buys almost everything online)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Most of the time sellers on Amazon have their own online storefront

I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo... actually, that is an insult to dog poo.

You can say shit on the internet. It’s allowed 😀

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I did say shit, my statement is about shit. ;)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Ok this made me laugh. 🤣

He doesn't run Amazon anymore.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all

GOOD. Fuck Amazon and their union busting bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Oh can not wait for Amazon blaming the strike for any and all issues for the next year or so.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Well. There go the Black Friday profits.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Why? People can still order at "discounted" prices, their packages will just arrive a little late.

I'm sure actual profits will not suffer too much.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

Gosh darn it!

It only really works if they keep striking. A one day strike is lame

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Let's hope the striking workers can afford to live without pay before Amazon cave in and pay up!

...Oh wait I forgot it's 2023

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

If they can't live without pay, what they should really do is unionize.

Do you have any concept what it's like for any fledgling union?

"Lame" shows your ignorance.

ebay's usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it's fast enough for me.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Yep, they're surely not at all scrupulous but I use them all the time now, and indeed I try to buy from specific sites if possible. Amazon is the devil and they've had enough of my money.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (3 children)

USPS delivered 8 prime orders in two days today 🤷 are we scabs?

Fuck Amazon.

About damn time!

Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I haven't kept up much with fucker "punchable face" Carlson but from what I've heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his "journalist" career

[–] [email protected] 18 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Please don't pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.

not as much as I was hoping for.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago

Amazon spends obscene amount of money to discourage these strikes. It is a continuous war each year.
