Amazon knew it couldn't defend itself in court

[LotusBud]

so it settled.

Amazon has settled with two of its most prominent internal critics, staving off a public hearing over accusations that the company illegally fired the pair, lawyers for the parties told an administrative judge on Wednesday.

The former employees, Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa,

in a statement that Amazon would be required to pay their back wages and “post a notice to all of its tech and warehouse workers nationwide that Amazon can’t fire workers for organizing and exercising their rights.” They called the settlement “a win for protecting workers rights.”

The pair have said they were fired last year because they publicly pushed the company to reduce its impact on climate change and address concerns about its warehouse workers. Amazon has maintained that the former employees repeatedly broke internal policies.

So do these "rights" include being able to openly speak out against woke culture?

We need legitimate free market capitalism so these big corporations are not buying politicains and driving our government.

Cronyism is a reality under any system. But it doesn't have to be allowed. We are in a much better position to foster change that gives the people a more fair playing feild than we would be if we give more power and money to government.

I'm not at all sure how you think free market capitalism will prevent cronyism. It does the opposite.

I didnt say it prevented cronyism, I said there is never going to be a system that doesnt have cronyism, and that the best bet we have to maintain a balance is a free market.

You guys who hate free market capitalism need to grapple with the reality that whatever oversight you have in place(the government) is just as corrupted with a bunch of corporate bought cronies.

And if they have more centralized power, it's much easier to oppress and subjugate the people.

Think about that. Look at what is happening now.

We will always have cronyism but if we are free and have our liberties we can do more about that. If we give the cronies MORE power over our lives, we cant do shit. We need the checks and balances of state rights vs federal power, and we need less government involvement and no lobbying. We should not be bailing our corps. Government should only exist to protect and preserve our human and constitutional rights.

You are an idiot. Full stop. The less government control the less corruption, conversely, the more government control the greater the corruption.

 

[Dove]

For clarity Lotus I'm not liking his comment because he called you an idiot.

I'm liking it because he is right about government involvement bringing cronyism.

I really wish you guys would address this. It's a pretty factor.

Whine about the system that enables your convenience.

Be quiet and do porn.

At least that way someone's getting fucked for fun.

 

[Biggie Smiles]

it's funny to watch libs rail against Amazon when all their players are in bed with Amazon and it's executives

Amazon will do 10X the revenue in both it's cloud and retail offerings businesses during all the democrat led hysteria

or did you guys think Bezo's heavy donations to the democratic party were just a fluke?

Wow. Your Pollyanna fantasy world would be funny if it weren't so dangerous to the health and well-being of your fellow Americans. See, those fake degees make you fucking stupid.

Could someone please post some authoritative evidence that a free market DOESN'T give grifters, profiteers, and liars more leeway to gouge, steal, and launder?

I just said, I cancelled my amazon prime. I didnt like their bullshit, so I cancelled em. Everyone else has that opportunity in a capitalistic society. In a socialist one, the government stifles competition and choice.

When you point this out, they foam at the mouth at you.

They have been SO programmed to hate US. They dont see it at all that we are trying to get through to them so our country can be reclaimed for the people.

They see it as a partisan war, like good little cogs in the corporate machine. WE are their enemy.

Then they post shit like this.....and its just....really?

They wont accept reality. They are emotionally attached to being some counter culture opposition party and now that they ARE the mainstream system that oppresses.....they STILL cling to that old and gone fad. It doesnt occur to them that all these people at the top KNOW who to market to and how advanced that marketing is.

Until they buck up and answer the question "once everything is centralized in a socailist system, WHO over sees that".... we just gotta ride out this cognitive dissonance because they are not gonna see what we see. They dont even WANT to.

So long as they are TOLD these corps are paying more taxes, they are happy. The loopholes these fucks get around it and how it falls on the middle class just doesnt enter their brains.

I would wonder why a wealthy elite would support a position that went against their interests... but my survival skills are more advanced. I cant be moved by emotions like they are. (Not saying that's good or bad.... but it sure is useful).

First of all Lotus you once said reputable primary medical sources were not "authoritative" stating human life begins at conception. You said this while rejecting science entirely in favor of a philosophical concept of "what is life" that had nothing to do with the scientific argument being presented.

Wireds opinion piece is not authoritive at ALL. Mayo clinic would be more reliable....regarding science.

So who the fuck knows what you consider "authoritative". Your standards on that seem to change based on what confirms your existing biases and opinions.

Secondly, no one is making the argument that free market capitalism PREVENTS any of that. Those things will ALWAYS be a reality.

But under a free market system(btw....regardless of socailist propaganda that claims free market means child slave labor or it's not "free".....free market does NOT mean human and constitutional rights are nullified. That's not what it means, no matter what socailists were brainwashed to think. Also.....we have plenty of child slave labor under socailist systems that go unaddressed) .....there is competition.

Under actual free market capitalism you cant have a marriage of government and corporation. Because the government must stay out of the market.....unless a human or constitutional rights crime is being committed. Government only is supposed to exist to protect and preserve our rights and represent the people.

There are no bail outs. No corporate welfare. No lobbying. No attack on the little guys in the form of government regulation DESIGNED to destroy competition.

We are freer to do business with those we decide. And vice versa. It's an even playing feild.

All the issues you guys point to as a complaint of capitalism is entirely a result of government interference.

We have a whole monopoly right now that pushes the monoparty narrative, penalizes any opposition and it's mostly all protected by the LEFT. You guys refuse to see how the things you are supporting are HARMING the people you claim to represent. And when those people try to advocate for themselves they are labeled "far right".

Ya'll are very rigid and dogmatic and unwilling to widen your view.

Orwell I think called them "useful idiots".

They are so conditioned we shouldnt even waste time being mad at them, really. Conformists cant do anything but conform and they dont hear anyone.

Theyll create a way to fit info in their comfort narrative.
