This makes me so upset that i'm going to sit down and come up with an automated conveyor that picks packages rather than people. o wait we did that 10 years ago and amazon only neglects to adopt them so they can continue paying shitty pay to overworked employees so they can tout their employment numbers.
for real tho, these people won't be in work for much longer. amazon can only take so many of these PR disasters before they fully automate their sorting and retrieval. these people are already grabbing packages labeled by a machine, packed by a robot, and delivering it to a robotic sorter. they're the last bit of humanity in these sorting centers and their days are numbered. As amazon transitions from full MRD to ARB technology, all the while putting the cost on the american tax payer through R&D deductions, people will lose jobs.
AOC was right (give me a second to choke that down) about amazon bringing bad jobs. she just failed to realize how much in sales tax they'd bring to use on social projects. you dont want amazon for jobs, you dont want them for end of year taxes, you want them for sales tax.
I don't want them for sales tax. I want them to be nationalized so every penny goes back to society.
