Daddy said growing up in the coal mines, one year for Xmas he got a toothbrush, the next year he got a bike, times were so unpredictable! I heard that story for years, finally relayed it to my grandma. She said, "Tell your dad he got his bike the year we
got the goddamn union."

Yes! That's why my household is now an Amazon-free zone.

Amazon Lays off 4,500 Workers in Quebec to Bust Their Union

Faced with the prospect of being forced to sign a labor contract as early as this summer, Amazon has gone to extreme lengths to evade its obligations under Quebec’s labor code. On January 22, it announced it is closing all seven of its warehouses in Quebec and outsourcing their operations. Is Amazon closing shop? Not really. It will continue selling its wares online in Quebec; It’s just that warehousing and delivery will now be handled by third-party contractors.

Imagine being unbelievably rich, like Bezos, and being so desperate to be even richer that you would attack people for getting together to organise a negotiation to try to get fair pay from you.

Imagine being able to get together with the other rich ones, and feed the world, make sure they all have homes, and instead you just try to ruin things for them, so you can have more money.

I can't imagine it.

Eight billion of us can't imagine being like him.

Pictue of Bezos, with a big smile on his face because he has much more money than he will ever need, and doesn't care that there are people he could help. It makes him even happier to know that they will suffer.
