Is this satire? I honestly can't tell.
- ActorNightly 6y agoIf you live perpetually on the internet instead of reality, you will think its satire. Go around your neighborhood and ask what do people think of Amazons products like Prime with all the shipping advantages and media that comes with it, of amazons return policy, of things like $15 an hour minimum wage, $30/hour of overtime + benefits, and you will find a different story.
- danielbln 6y agoLudicrous. Most people, myself included, use and praise Amazon's various services, while at the same time being able to criticise a mega-corp that employs various questionable business practices. In fact, you'd be surprised how critical people actually are of Amazon in my neighbourhood. OP's strange song of Amazon as a shining beacon of light and harbinger of humanity's future - that's what smells of satire.
- ActorNightly 6y agoNobody is saying Amazon is without fault for making mistakes, however in terms of the stuff that they do with retail, they generally seem to take care of it. In terms of things like poor worker conditions across the board, you would have a point if you actually had any concrete proof, and no, twitter threads don't count as proof. Not to mention that there is plenty of evidence to support the contrary.
- frombody 6y agoTry talking to your Amazon delivery drivers. I've yet to meet a single one that has anything positive to say about the company.
- ActorNightly 6y agoNot every job has to be enjoyable? They do the work they are hired to do and get paid accordingly, and can quit anytime. The point is that Amazon does a shitload of good by providing useful services to a lot of customers.
- chakhs 6y agosame thought really, can't tell if it's trolling or not, which is weird that we actually consider someone could be serious saying this
