They should move any office out of California and to another US State

Amazon could stop treating workers like gulag prisoners or making Billion Dollar 'Woke SJW' tv shows that nobody watches and maybe more people would buy their crap

Revenue wasn't growing fast enough and the growth Amazon was getting wasn't profitable enough FOR THE STOCK OWNERS. You know how a business handles that: firing employees because businesses do not exist to create jobs. Business exists to create profits. You don't like that? Too bad for you, but if you were a true Capitalist, you'd love it.

• Amazon revenue for the quarter ending September 30, 2022 was $127.101B, a 14.7% increase year-over-year.
• Amazon revenue for the twelve months ending September 30, 2022 was $502.191B, a 9.66% increase year-over-year.
• Amazon annual revenue for 2021 was $469.822B, a 21.7% increase from 2020.

• Amazon annual revenue for 2019 was $280.522B, a 20.45% increase from 2018.

Probably shouldn't have spent a Billion dollars on a woke LOTR TV show that had nothing to do with LOTR that nobody wanted to watch and then charge all of your customers $2 more per month for Prime to offset the losses.

OPPS!

Capitalists are not firing employees because of LOTR ratings. Capitalists are firing employees because Amazon doesn't have any unions and Capitalists can do whatever they want to whoever they want for no reason at all. It is tough being poor white trash in America. Somebody bigger will give the trash a boot in the butt and the trash can't do a thing about it other than dream of the return of Trump to the White House.

My god...

How can you even live with yourself? You're posting on two separate threads with two mutually exclusive ideas battling it out in your head.

I'm so sick of even having to deal with you.

Have fun fucking off and getting nothing accomplished all day like you always do. I've got shit to do.
