Laying off hundreds or thousands of workers across multiple states is a fuck up probably on the scale of negligence. But under corporatism/fascism wealthy idiots who pay the right bribes aren't held accountable.

My values seem to drift further from society's every year it seems lol... maybe for the best..

Amazon still breaks volume records every year and demand has not slumped. Just gotta try and make the company even more profitable every year somehow.

I can literally get items from almost any local store the same day or next day for cheap or free. Some online retailers can get me stuff same week, and Amazon with their massive warehouse down the block can't do it within five days most of the time unless I pay for shipping... At which point I'd rather just shop almost anywhere else.

I refuse to subscribe to Prime because I'm sick of all these companies trying to lock me into their own business. I'll just go source locally, shop around online, or pay the shipping at Amazon once every two months when I truly can't find what I need at a reasonable price anywhere else.
