I’ve been monitoring Amazon’s stocks through this whole crisis, and how they’re going through the roof while almost all others are taking huge losses.

I can’t help but wonder if it will someday implode from the terrible, unsustainable conditions their workers seem to be facing — even prior to the pandemic, but exacerbated by it — and Amazon’s complete dismissal of it.

And this isn’t even including the increasingly poor state of consumer trust in reviews, third party resellers, counterfeit products, and the myriad of ways resellers can game the system. All of which Amazon also seems to continue to dismiss as if it’s immune to the long-term impacts.

As long as people continue to move their shopping online, I'm convinced no maltreatment of employees considered to be "working class" will stop people from making their purchases, especially with the convenience and price.

Amazing considering the backlash against Uber for sexual harassment of female upper-middle to upper class white collar workers. Almost destroyed the company in the US. But the persistent abuse of thousands of working people - NOTHING!

Amazon pays their workers 60% more than Walmart and almost double of other grocery stores. The working conditions are better, and they are hiring like crazy.

There are a lot of short sellers around and not all news pieces are factual.

Look for amazon job applications sites to see the reality vs other companies and then make up your mind.
