Office workers at a desk for 40 years, staring at a computer screen for most of that, eyes get bad. Carpal tunnel syndrome. A fat ass. Laborers in the field get injured and can't work anymore, lose modest home since no income. Mechanics get injured. Builders get injured. Hate to break it to the warehouse drones: ALL workers are disposable. That's life. Don't like it, get an education and do something less strenuous. Good luck with that. Welcome to adulting.

I'd wager if you check the spending habits of The Stranger staff you'd see quite the perpetuation of these shitty businesses practices.

Why does Amazon get billions of dollars in tax breaks everywhere it goes? It's worth one TRILLION dollars. Jeff Bezos is the second wealthiest human being ON EARTH. WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE, ANYWHERE, GIVE AMAZON TAX BREAKS? Amazon should be being taxed into OBLIVION.

Lot of Internet Tough Guys For Apathy around here, huh.

Come down to the Fullfillment Center and get Hurt. An interesting business model -- treat people as if they're machines and when they break (because they aren't), throw them away. Not YOUR Problem, Bezos, that's fur sure! Not to worry -- let US figure it out -- you're BUSY, making your many many many many MANY Billions. Let we, the people help out with your vastly Overburdensome Labor costs.

If one profiteers enormously, sociopathically,
breaking Citizens' / Human Beings' bodies down
we're doing Business WAAAAAY the Fuck Wrong.

A 'business model' for the Past.

What's that saying again? Oh yes! Unions are like condoms. If somebody is arguing strenuously that you don't need one, it's a pretty good indicator that you really, really do.

Throwing your body away so Jeff Bezos can be the Richest Man on the Planet is an Excellent Business Plan -- just not for YOU. Nor, for those tasked with taking care of you. Hint: it ain't gonna be Bezos, making sure you'll be OK.

America LOVES her Billionaires.

"We have met the enemy, and it is us." This is the New American Experiment, ushered in by citizen abdication to the monster of gotcha capitalism.
