Will amaz swallow ups?

You could've bought amazon stock, and never delivered a package.

nah...I think it's good, even healthy to work.
Being around the poors helps one to not think like you.

Being around the poors is what cured me of fast food addiction, and made me a lot of money.

I realized that people like my coworkers were the ones handling food at restaurants. That cured me very quickly of wanting that food.

It also increased my risk tolerance in investing, because I realized how much I needed to provide for myself and not be forced to be around such people.

Our drivers for the most part stick around for the long haul.

Used to be the case around here also but from what I was told the turnover rate for new drivers is terrible now. They can't keep part timers or new drivers.

Part time for sure, huge turnover. They rather pay drivers overtime to work preload an extra hour or so.

 

[Wally]

And that's bad for the business.

Must be why the company made record profits?

 

[TearsInRain]

why would Amazon want a bunch of worn out buildings staffed by worn out gen Xers using worn out tech and strangle themselves with a worn out Union?

 

[Ghost in the Darkness]

Yes as amazon is phasing out shipping boxes and just shipping products as they are. UPS holds them to no standard and often loses or damages these products because they require no shipping standard. As with orion and diad6 corporate UPS is welcoming failure, and there seems to be a strong connection to the Biden administration in taking a functioning system and flushing it down the toilet.

As if going to a physical walmart retailer, or ACE hardware, or Target, or anything else, is less tyrannical or less of a 'large negative number.'

Get real.

Those retailers are not the ones using shady business practices to crush Amazon. It’s the other way around. Those businesses are not censoring people online. Amazon is.

ACE and other small retailers crushed local mom and pop.
Wal-mart came in and crushed the middle sized retailers.
Amazon came in and is crushing Wal-mart.

This is the circle of life. Everyone you want me to use was just the Amazon of a few decades ago, killing local business with shady tactics.

None of them are different. They're just being beaten at their own game.

Seriously.
We have some guys that work at UPS and at Amazon.
It's night and day.

Why would Amazon buy a dinosaur?

Yes, driver turnover is higher than ever, and that is good for profits.

Good for PT air drivers. Made almost $2500 last week.

Always a bottom feeder around to pick up the scraps.

I take those scraps right to the bank.

Hopefully, not for too much longer

Crushing competition fairly is one thing. Using unfair business practices to gain advantages is another. Nice try though.

Crushing competition fairly is one thing. Using unfair business practices to gain advantages is another. Nice try though.

Wal-Mart used every shady trick in the book to take over entire small towns and bankrupt dozens of businesses in every town it entered.

How many local payoffs for zoning? How many tax incentives for employment? You name it.
Wal-mart did everything that Amazon is doing. And Sears did everything that Wal-Mart did.

It's a tale as old as time. There are no virtuous businesses to give money to.

Except Chick-Fil-A.

Anybody remember this?
Pick a decade. There is an Amazon.

Yes

But you could try being a little less smug about giving them all your money

 

[wilberforce15]

You're just as smug about giving your money to last decade's evil guy.
Or the one from the decade before that.
