Fwiw there has been some history of B&H workers being treated fairly not-well. I encourage reading past the first few paragraphs of this article as it's not all "union stuff"--ther…

Maybe they just added it, but there's also a "Prefer entering email instead?" link below, which I appreciated

A britishism I've never come across—does anybody know what "sandwiches with paste" are?

Not a lawyer but I think this would be constitutional in the same way that international sanctions are constitutional. The regulation of interstate and foreign commerce is an enume…

Yeah I 100% buy this. Just commenting on the fact that this tends to get conflated as a regular experience in warehouses, which ime it isn't.

I can comment on this as a current Amazon worker! I think people pissing in bottles probably does happen in Amazon's vast network, but as a very, very rare exception. It makes for …

Yeah--compare an alternate phrasing here, like "I watch and give a lot of presentations at work."

> Warehouse workers are going to have to form a union and threaten to really shut down amazon's profits, in order to defeat these profit-motivated outrages. It's always been like t…

Constant revolutionising of production, uninterrupted disturbance of all social conditions, everlasting uncertainty and agitation distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier o…

Iirc only people who would be eligible for the presidency can be elected as VP, which would disqualify Obama. This is the same reason Bernie couldn't have chosen AOC as his running…

Another thing I haven't seen mentioned here is that bosses will often try to slow down, stymie, or break up organizing drives by dragging out legal arguments at the labor board. Th…

There _is_ a slightly looser coupling than an HR department, but the judges are still appointed and confirmed by politicians with pretty clear material interests. It's not so much …

I think it actually is nurses physically moving the device around the room—the photo looks like it's just on casters, not motorized wheels.

The state de-funding of the university is great for corporations in a lot of ways. First, as you note, it's a way of getting you to pay for your own job training. It's also a cleve…

The article mentions that Uber hope to replace public transit miles, and recognize it as profitable to do so. There's a link to a Times article that elaborates on this claim. It is…

And in the sense that Amazon generates tremendous profit for its owners, which has to come from somebody's labor!

I have to agree. The premise in the headline is so obviously agreeable, but the application described sounds like it would make for a terrible place to work. This isn't an article …

Why?

I suppose it could end up as only a slight loss for Musk if the diver can't demonstrate damages? E.g. if Musk's claim was so absurd and non-credible that nobody took it seriously?

I use and like the 3310. It would be basically a perfect phone for me if MMS wasn't broken and I could disable the web browser. I'll take what I can get though since I don't have t…

I don't think this is just semantics—isn't this actually a cafe staffed by paralyzed people, who control robots? This headline is bit like saying a warehouse is staffed by forklift…

I don't think that's a very honest description of the allegations against NDT! https://www.patheos.com/blogs/nosacredcows/2018/11/two-more-...

I remember reading easily a decade ago, when people were describing Amazon as a charity propped up by investors, that this was Amazon's long-term strategy--aggressively reinvest al…

Marx and others who elaborated on his work developed the notion of alienation under capital—the notion that capitalism really screws up the specific sort of pleasure you describe. …
