      Or instead of immediately lunching into your misanthropic fantasy you could simply click through to notice that it’s a publication that ‘Sahan Journal is a nonprofit digital newsroom dedicated to reporting for immigrants and communities of color in Minnesota’ but I guess ‘people be woke’ is much easier and pointless discourse ruining comment to throw out.

  If this were a Costco, sure, a benefit of doubt is warranted. But this is Amazon, who pioneered ever more dehumanizing ways of tracking employees.

    Amazon is blatant, if they wanted to track coffeepot usage they'd have just put a billion Ring cameras around it.

  why does it even have a camera? > Amazon spokesperson Alisa Carroll said a malfunction caused the camera to take photos. wonder if a malfunction will make the security cameras "without microphones" start recording audio too
