This holiday season Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, & Facebook fires 11K workers—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers. Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

@Velocity2222 Umm, I'm not sure what's going on here....Amazon is firing 10K workers??? I pay $120/year for Amazon Prime, yet for the last few months, my 2-day delivery has been creeping up to more like 5+ days. I tried to order some things on Friday (all Prime), but none of them were going to arrive until NEXT Friday, so I had to go out shopping IRL today because I need the items sooner. Yet Amazon is firing workers???? Meanwhile, Bezos's wealth doubled during the pandemic.

@janeselkie @Velocity2222 I avoid Amazon like the plague. Paying a few dollars less is just not worth all the problems Amazon causes in distorting local economies and causing so much distribution waste.

Stewart, I have slowly grown to agree with you. The convenience factor too-long caused me to simultaneously abhor the things I learned about Amazon, while blindly enjoying having everything I wanted delivered to me fast. But I'm finally too bothered by the worker exploitation, among other things, to continue closing my eyes. Not to mention, one can no longer get trustworthy products there anyway.
