I stopped using Amazon several years ago based on their pitiful taxation and exploitation of workers. Now it seems they've decided to sink further into the mire. I can't read the whole article as I don't subscribe, however, I doubt that it improves any.
How fucking low can you go? Scum. |

How fucking low can you go? Scum. I agree, I never use Amazon. To me they epitomise the type of exploitation in the work place that anyone with a shred of decency should oppose. Like everyone I've done some shit jobs in my time but I'd rather starve than work for these gangers. In a world where you can buy anything with a click of a mouse, it's easy to use them and not think about it. It's a small thing but by individually boycotting Amazon and supporting workers rights, it sends a message out that such working practices shouldn't become'normal'. However given that Joe Public doesn't give a fuck about anything I doubt it'd make a dent in their obscene profits. Surely as punks it's more relevant to support the independents now more than ever. |

You're right, it's so easy to buy online and you can usually find what you want on Amazon, and usually at the best price.
Since I decided to stop using them it's definitely harder to buy stuff online. I end up looking harder, paying more and waiting longer. However, I'd rather do that than line those cunts pockets.

Absolutely, I would use Ebay and even before that a punk distros.
I worked for DHL and they were starting to implement some of Amazon's working practices like 'comfort breaks' etc.
I just did what I wanted regardless and made it my duty to skive as much as I could.
Needless to say I started to look for another job.
As for the fascist/nazi stuff.It just goes to show you how readily racists and racism has been accepted.
Dangerous times.

eBay are, so I've heard, a very good employer.
And they pay their taxes.

You have to watch out for 'drop shipping' on ebay - you buy an item via an ebay seller and they then just get the item shipped to you directly from amazon. I had that happen once. Annoying...

Never happened to me yet but a lot of the old punk distros from the 80's can now be found on Ebay Savage Amusement(run by Trev Hagl)and Loony Tunes(run by Bobs and Set from Active Minds). A lot more ethical than the likes of Amazon. |

Isn't he claiming to be bankrupt to avoid paying 100k to the kid he libelled? Hope any profits go to him instead. He was living a very luxurious life and no doubt has a lot of cash from far right US types squirrelled away. |

Apparently he was using the money his racist dipshit followers were sending him to buy bugle by the ounce. |
