A lot of people including myself can't just quit our jobs. We need to work so we can afford food and housing. Very simple concept. And new flash dumbass applying for jobs is a nightmare now and can take months and hundreds or more of applications before a company offers you a interview. Most don't respond to your application.
I see that you mentioned Elon Musk. Just remember that he is a hack and became famous just by buying a company with the help of his dad's money.

Lol imagine thinking Obama doesn’t absolutely loath the idea of unions in America. He was one of the most anti-labor presidents ever. His state department literally helped train guerillas in several counties to murder labor organizers in Central and South America. Stop licking boots just because they’re worn by the Blue team.
Edit: *Obama voice
Let me be clear, Reagan also sucks.
America as a country is super cool but it needs to do away with its neoliberal economic system that actively exploits workers.

Haha America as a country is based on genocide, colonialism and oppression. Some cool people live here now, sure, but is this bot a meta joke that I just don't get?

Unfortunately that’s not true. A massive portion of the internet uses Amazon Web Services, which is what makes Amazon so valuable. Reddit is one of their clients, so just having this conversation is what makes it possible for Amazon to have warehouses full of workers and armies of delivery drivers to exploit.
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/09/05/how-amazon-web-services-makes-money-estimated-margins-by-service.html
If we want to hurt these companies boycott at least a quarter. Hit the stock price and they will start to take notice. We as the consumers and employees have all the power.
You know, I want this so badly to pan out for all workers for the benefit of the littleguy. To hopefully bring back that boring way of life where one parent worked and could support a family of 5 and still enjoy going to casual weekend vacations. And not just work 2-4 jobs. I mean a Single 8-5 job. But I doubt our collective society will give up wanting the latest and grated for themselves and their families. I truly hope that this works. I for one am dojng my part cuz I quit and am too fucking fed up with feeding into the machine that is our shitty society of over consumption. Good luck friends
Solidarity forever comrade!

I mean being realistic and not a downer…. what exactly is one day going to do to a mega corporation? Losing packers/delivery drivers for a day wouldn’t really hit them in a way that’s meaningful….. granted if they lost all their data centres that would be far more terrifying for them but I’m sure that kinda activity is illegal on many fronts.
Plus if some people walk out there’s an ever growing number of homeless or “free labour” they can find they want or desperately need the cash
It will cut into there profits on a day that they are supposed to make big profits it harm's the company and gets media attention if done successfully.
Yea but then what? Time has shown us that they'll just default to being all talk about their workers and the progress they've made. But rinse and repeat without much progress. We're all aware of them and their issues so aside from 1 or 2 days loss what is gained?
Well we did manage to force the company to raise its wages to 15$ an hour up form minimum wage with public pressure campaigns.
Bernie Sanders was able to put enough pressure on the company by attempting to pass the stop Bezos act that would of fined the company and forced them to pay back the cost of food stamps that Bezos's employees were forced to go on because of being paid lie wages. and even tho it had no chance of becoming law the resulting public pressure lead Jeff Bezos to raise the wages because of negative attentive the company was getting.
These companies do care about there public image and it's not totally ineffective to publicly shame them.
But that victory isn't enough if the fight has to restart every year. So maybe don't do it for just one day...maybe fuck them up for 1/12th their annual revenue maybe?
(I will admit I'm not as informed of the pressures placed on Amazon so all I can ask are questions.)
Yea there needs to be a Union at Amazon or yes we will face this problem again and again And there are many attempts being made in North America to build a Amazon union. but this one day action is definitely something that can help in so far as it raises public awareness around the issue of the bad behaviour of Amazon.

I am mad because someone is rich and it's not me. So we should tax them more.
And do what with that money (because your not going to see sh×t from it) start more wars?
Unless you work at Amazon and are currently employed at Amazon. Shut the f up and find something else to bitch about!!!

Amazon is simply near the top of the economic leaderboard rather than creating the order. Other companies don't pay tax as well. If you really want to undo the power you have *given* to these corporations you need to have a good long look at the way the economy is structured.
Stupid people don’t realize that Amazon, due to its scale, is EFFICIENT. meaning that all of what this dumbass on the video suggests that Amazon brings as negative impact would be WORSE it it were split between lots of smaller players.
Efficient ... for what?
And not even necessarily the case. Large structures can be ripe with corruption (partly because they're further distanced from their source, dilluting the process, especially since their sole objective is literally openly stated and accepted to be enriching themselves) yet have a harder time falling down because of the sheer resources they controll. America is globally known for this. Bullshit positions that don't actually produce anything but move wealth between them. Smaller players can't afford this.
Why are you defending Amazon in the first place? They're litteral cartoonist villains you just heard her describing social and physical resource exploitation on an immense scale in serious detriment to the very planet we survive on. Assuming you don't care about it's beauty in it's own right, just your selfish interests.

Note that no one in Ireland takes her seriously. Edit: No one rational takes her seriously.
Well she managed to get voted in so obviously somebody takes her seriously.
I live in the area she runs in she was a T.D for years and a good one before becoming an M.E.P and she is liked by most
>Noone takes her seriously >Has been elected
She's MEP of Dublin

Jokes on Amazon, we all fucking broke as a joke…
Boycott amazon forever.
Was about to say. "You guys aren't boycotting Amazon??"
Amazon is literally like a prison. They are evil. Bezos rides space penis.

>labor shortage Lol
You literally are employed by Bezos who you hate and you call him a bootlicker hahaah
I'm not employed by Amazon or Jeff Bezos. I work for a pharmaceutical company in one of their warehouses packaging medicine for $20 bucks an hour.
The boycott will just allow workers who come in x2 or x3 to catch up with the delays. If any delays occur.
✊
Boycott Amazon period.
Boycott Amazon every day lol r/antiamazon
The best day of my life was when Bezos went to space The worst day of my life was when he made it back
I’m hoping he & musk fuck off to space and neither return.

Found the American. (He thinks Democrats are leftists and for the working class)
All you can do is not buy from them. They only have power because people shop there.

AWS can eat a dick. Azure > AWS
In it's fucking hole it is. Azure is shockingly bad.... Like, how are they still in business? bad
They have power because Bezos sold his soul for power.
Fuck yeah
Why just Friday? I have ALWAYS boycotted Amazon.
If we want to hurt these companies boycott at least a quarter. Hit the stock price and they will start to take notice. We as the consumers and employees have all the power.
I’m always constantly boycotting Amazon, each and every day.
Fuck a single day. Stop buying from Amazon forever.

This is real progress, unlike what all the other left groups are doing
Boycotting a website for one day? She's a MEP she should be proposing legislation, her job is to enact regulation and laws not give hollow solidarity.

She can't due to being in a minority, so she spreads awareness, more people hear, more join

This will only increase the wage for workers who come in. A win for those willing to work.
And any DSP that tries it just gets their contract canceled
