Any ideas on ways we can convince Amazon to pay its workers enough to survive?

No clue, I'm gonna go play Paper Mario tho, heard it was inspired by Luigis Mansion lol

There's a brand new Amazon warehouse going in right of the Schoharie exit on I-88 in upstate NY. It's been recently announced that the village will be footing the bill for all the water and sewage.

So after that gets burnt down we need to go round up the town board and beat the shit out of them

drop every Amazon service you use today and advocate for others to do the same

give me a few billion dollars to buy infrastructure and hire people who know how to do that. otherwise it's going to take a while to get off the ground if I have to start off by selling books online (and I'll still need at least half a million to start).

It's not a few billions anymore. Undersea fiber, datacenters in several countries... It all adds up.

General strikes, port blockades, boycotts and other organized actions. Look up iww and read people’s history of United States

I don't know, I have a thought and requires a lighter.
