I just found out that during heatwaves, amazon workers began collapsing. Jeff bezos decided that getting air conditioning inside the warehouses was too expensive, so he took the cheaper option of parking ambulances outside instead.

You'll never guess who makes the laws.

Also, there was a big news story about how they got AC in the robot-run warehouses because the robots were overheating, but some aspect of that may have been misreported, like that it wasn't consistent across all manned/unmanned warehouses. Still shitty, and exactly what we can expect from a billionaire.

That put a smile on my face. It's exactly what they would do in the world we live in. It’s not like Bezos sees his workers as anything other than 'fleshy robots.' Luckily, they have an immune system against rotting. It often saddens me that capitalism motivates a man to prioritize the care of his 'robot property' over his own species. I almost puked when I heard him worship Trump, his prophet, in a recent interview.

I can't imagine these people ever feel real love or happiness. They can't be so intellectually stupid as to be unaware of the horrors they inflict upon society. Yet, they seem to live happily, with no problems with their conscience while being immoral, unethical, and corrupt. I think they're even proud of it; it's just a game in which you eat or are eaten. Predatory and imperialist, but empty and soulless.
