Over a quarter of Amazon delivery drivers reported going hungry in the past month, according to social policy experts who did a large-scale study of delivery workers. They found how Amazon's nonemployee model is a lot worse for its drivers than for employees of its unionized competitors. https://theconversation.com/the-unraveling-of-workplace-protections-for-delivery-drivers-a-tale-of-2-workplace-models-268164
Amazon is laying off 30,000 employees to prioritize AI, which will bring innovative ideas such as:
-Automatically purchase item if user looks at screen for more than 5 seconds.
-Make device loudly screech if user closes the app.
-Delivery drones will stalk user if they cancel Prime membership.
Amazon made $35b profit last year. They're celebrating by laying off 14,000 workers (a number they say will rise to 30k). This is the kind of thing that Wall Street *loves*, and this layoff comes after a string of pronouncements from Amazon CEO about how AI is going to let them fire *tons* of workers.

Love that the slop merchants are using my book to (further) enshittify Amazon, and that Amazon's terrible QA standards is letting 'em do it.
