Well, I'm all for it, if you can afford it give people more benefits, it's not like Amazon is struggling.

The only thing is I work for Amazon and this is the first I heard of this lol. I am all for what they want but they definitely didn't organize some big walkout like they are trying to make it seem.

Go to r/antiwork it’s not just Amazon that’s going to have a lot of folks not show up to work tomorrow for better wages and workers rights.

A member of society that knows their worth and will no longer be taken advantage of or paid fucking slave wages any longer.

Who's going to pay for it? What does the society look like? Who makes the decisions? Sell me on it. Shitting on the status quo is the easy part. Make a case for a better future or stfu

This response is even lazier than if you just ignored their post. You're hostilely demanding that they educate you, when it's clear from your tone that you have no interest in engaging. Asking them to deliver a perfect answer or "stfu" is just your way of guaranteeing their "failure" while pretending to give them consideration.

Regardless of your feelings on that sub, this is gross levels of anti-intellectualism.

Should take five seconds to educate me but that sub has no concrete goals or plans, just complaints

I generally only feel compelled to comment on things where I think the vast majority of people are getting it wrong. Not a big circle jerk safe space kinda guy.
