Rule #1: companies have no ethics. Ever.
The only way Amazon will change is if it costs them more than it makes them.
The answer is to boycott them. Cancel your Prime subscription. Find other retailers, or do without. And do NOT go back as soon as they capitulate.
Companies need to understand that shitty behaviour will lose them customers for life.
The answer is to force proper rules upon these US hyperscalers. Fuck them all, if they want to do "business" outside of the impoverished united states, they have to obey the rules of proper countries
Economists are the least moral people from any field. My economist friend agrees. They see money as a number, not as a resource people need to survive.
An economist may agree with the statement: "A starving honebee requires more honey to recover than it will produce in its life. Therefore saving it is a waste."
What the statement lacks, is context. Why is the bee starving to begin with? They eat nectar from flowers. So there aren't enough around. Humans are good at mowing their lawns and placing tiles in their gardens instad of anything useful. Another part is, where is their honey? The bee's life saving they use to survive winter? Who took it? The humans. And who has the audacity to define the life of a single bee by it's ability to produce honey? The human.
Now swap worker bee with working class, human with the rich, and honey with money.
"Oh these people require medical aid? As if their labour is worth the investment in ther health!"
Remember, any person providing a service to society, is a valuable person. Be it store cleric or garbage man.
