Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 19 points 10 months ago (6 children)

Also just not buy things from Amazon until the strike is over. Real stores exist!

(I say this as a recluse who buys almost everything online)

I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo... actually, that is an insult to dog poo.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 36 points 10 months ago (2 children)

You can say shit on the internet. It’s allowed 😀

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I did say shit, my statement is about shit. ;)

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Ok this made me laugh. 🤣

He doesn't run Amazon anymore.

[–] Alto@kbin.social 58 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah he's only the single largest shareholder, he has absolutely no influence at all

GOOD. Fuck Amazon and their union busting bullshit.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 90 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Oh can not wait for Amazon blaming the strike for any and all issues for the next year or so.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

This seems relevant...

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.world 58 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Well. There go the Black Friday profits.

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 21 points 10 months ago

Why? People can still order at "discounted" prices, their packages will just arrive a little late.

I'm sure actual profits will not suffer too much.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Gosh darn it!

ebay's usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it's fast enough for me.

[–] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 16 points 10 months ago

Yep, they're surely not at all scrupulous but I use them all the time now, and indeed I try to buy from specific sites if possible. Amazon is the devil and they've had enough of my money.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (3 children)

USPS delivered 8 prime orders in two days today 🤷 are we scabs?

It only really works if they keep striking. A one day strike is lame

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 17 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Let's hope the striking workers can afford to live without pay before Amazon cave in and pay up!

...Oh wait I forgot it's 2023

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

If they can't live without pay, what they should really do is unionize.

Fuck Amazon.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

About damn time!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago (2 children)

not as much as I was hoping for.

[–] GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

Amazon spends obscene amount of money to discourage these strikes. It is a continuous war each year.

Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

[–] ExceedinglyPanWoofer@yiffit.net 15 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I haven't kept up much with fucker "punchable face" Carlson but from what I've heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his "journalist" career

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 18 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

[–] Wolf_359@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Please don't pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.
