Are you still addicted to using Amazon?

From Harper’s Weekly Review:

It was reported that Amazon plans to replace more than half a million employees with a robot workforce; and a leaked document revealed that the company, the largest owner of data centers in the world, conspired to conceal from the public the true extent of its water use.

And…

[O]wners of “Pod” smart beds found that their mattresses were “overheating and stuck in odd positions” during an Amazon Web Services outage initiated by a bug in the company’s automation software. “I’m sleeping in a sauna,” wrote one smart bed user.

Today, I read that Bezos’s Amazon shares just increased in value by $10 billion.

Also Amazon is “donating” to the Trump ballroom.

And workers for Amazon and Walmart (and another company can’t remember which) are a large contingent of people dependent on SNAP benefits, because the companies don’t pay them enough to eat. (See first paragraph above, re robots.)
