They have always wanted to replace all their workers with robots.

It’s why nobody should have capitulated and gave them tax cuts for warehouses and fulfillment centers.

Let me get this straight:

• everybody wants free same day logistics
• nobody want to work under those conditions
• if we deliagte inhumane jobs to robots, everybody is mad

Where is the logic?

Amazon has been such a terrible employer for so long that they're almost forced to do this, any other concerns aside.

They've burned and churned such a large percentage of the American population that would ever potentially work for them, that they are legitimately going to run out of people to hire. Automation is going to be their only possible way of getting their grunt work done.

This would be a good thing in the timeline where governments actually gave a shit and we had universal basic income for everyone. No human should have to slave away for 8+ hours a day just to survive when most work can be automated.

Nationalize Amazon.

And when you see an Amazon box on your doorstep today, know you directly paid for this.

I was JUST making fun of these fascists, and they keep proving me correct🤣

As they actively destroy any chance of progress in computing? Probably even degressing it by supporting the AI bubble? Good luck with having robots that can't do more than 5% of the basics of what an average human can do :)

Sure it'll be able to do it very "efficiently", but that efficiency is extremely relative at best, and sacrifices way more in the background making it less efficient overall.

Too bad the people running these companies can't see beyond their next quarterly numbers to know this, or know how business, technology, the economy, or how humans work.
