Amazon isn't violating tax law. Employees are not forced to work there. So... what's the big deal??? From 2018 - 2020, the average tax rate applied to Amazon's pre-tax income was 4.3%. The Corporate rate is 21%, but Amazon lost so much money that the rate was drastically lowered. Yes, legally, on paper, it lost a lot of money. The serious injury rate for it's warehouse employees is nearly 80% higher compared to the serious injury rate of employees at all competing warehouse of similar goods.

James Neumann Just because you’re not breaking any laws doesn’t mean you’re an ethical person/company.

Cindy Parrish-Cobb There is so many humans not being right doing what they want to do the whole world is all messed up We need God that’s for sure

blueneuron.net It loses money because it deliberately puts that money towards R&D and expansion. It's not an accident, it's an aggressive corporate strategy meant to shift the market further in their favor, consolidate their control, and strengthen the position from which they approach any and all situations. To the benefit of ifs leadership, not its frontline workers.
