    > Worse yet, an employee, who was given the pseudonym Sam, told the outlet that despite seeing a “body form laying lifeless,” his supervisor told them to “please get back to work.”

    And yet people keep buying stuff from Amzn when they should know better.

    Personally I stopped purchasing from there 3 years ago. It can be done. Try it.

      And yet the government, which is democratically elected, keeps giving it tax breaks.

      Your complaint is like the one for recycling: Why dont you just go recycle more cans, surely you're going to stop climate change by individual action.

      The point of governments of democratically elected representatives is to provide collective action against other smaller collective actions.

          Yeah, it's comical you're gonna get millions of people to organize on a single principle, then call govenment comical.

          You realize you _do_ believe in government, but your context has been poisoned. If you think collective action would stop amazon, then you also believe government is effective.

          We're in bizzaro world with your critique.
