Amazon is the most visible example of wealth transfer during this pandemic, with online shopping and AWS, so it's an obvious target for mob energy.
But the idea of unionizing is quaint for a company that has become so many things (manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, marketplace).
They suggest that somehow the new administration will be friendlier to unionizing, as if that was the blocker.
It doesn't take a PR genius to see what the Amazon narrative will be when people can't get their boxes of shit because of a strike. And thats just from warehouses. Extend that to AWS and Whole Foods and it'll be hard to maintain any sympathy.
Amazon was already getting their tentacles on everything before covid, and now its just amplified. I'd love to see this be the motivator that encourages people to rise up against their overlords, but it's going to end up like the people that protest by blocking freeways. It just pisses off the people trying to go about their lives, and works against the cause.
