>dead cat bounce during covid
I had no idea about this until I looked it up. It made sense on its face but still such a weirdly well-put phrase.
Also they really began running their drivers into the ground. The few remaining people I knew working for them have all quit.
There's videos of the drivers getting so mad they destroy things along their route their last day. Much like doordashers eating/stealing/destroying an order in protest. Which I believe to be an asinine thing to do which only hurts the consumer, but I have to wonder at what leads to that kind of rage where no fucks are left to give.
We need to get rid of these incumbents and duopolies, shit Comcast gets away with being a monopoly and we all just take it,despite seeing repeatedly the end result of one company standing alone surrounded by laws of their own creation.
I used to love amazon when it was a book store. I loved online shopping I think about a decade ago now.
Someone recently mentioned I have that I'm jaded in my profile, and indeed I guess I am, but I was so hopeful as a child and young adult. This is the result of being lied to my whole life.
We were promised hover boards and and an internet that shared ideas and companies that could actually make the world a better place.
What we got is something far closer to Johnny Mnemonic imho.
- taylodl 5y agoTheir goal was to make the world a better place for themselves. That's the bit they always leave out. While I'm not actively seeking to remove Amazon from my online shopping as some people are, I've definitely sought out other options. Amazon has now become my store of last resort.
