Is the underlying accusation by the union that Amazon somehow tampered with US Postal Service mail or mailboxes? Because that would be quite a grave accusation, far worse than any charge of union vote improprieties.

Bezos isn't known for being dumb with his money. So, I am curious about his motivation in this case. What is the deep reptilian part of his tycoon brain telling him? Is he buying positive press after yesterday's show? Does he care

Maybe all employees should wear police-grade body cams, especially public employees. Come think of it kids and teachers in school should wear body cams too. Maybe all citizens should get their own body cams as well.
