Your the one simping for Amazon claiming certain American communities are essentially too violent. If I had my way they would be required to have equivalent or better versions of the USPS contract given how hard they dog their employees.
Where are all of these attacks happening? How come USPS can handle it fine, yet Amazon can't? Stop licking Bozos boot.
I am doing no such thing. Bezos is not the person doing the deliveries, low-paid, non-union Amazon workers are. I care about them, not Bezos. And I can see now that you didn't bother reading the article.
The attacks are happening in the zip codes where Amazon is not delivering. That's why they're not delivering.
I was going to ask why you haven't explained to my why USPS drivers should risk themselves but Amazon driver shouldn't, but now it's clear to me that you just think all of them should. I wonder if you've ever even worked in such a job or if you've just decided you know what's best for them? Because I'm betting its the latter.
Edit: also, I have no idea why you think caring about some low-paid employee's safety means I love the company they work for. Do you mock fast food employees when they get robbed at gunpoint because the company deserves it and anyone who worries about those employees is just a corporate bootlicker? Do you care about humans other than yourself at all?
What attacks? Give me the statistics about the attacks, oh wait you can't because Amazon made it up and your just parroting them.
Dude, read the fucking article.
