Good. People can wait a few days to get their packages if it means better working conditions.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 25 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Also just not buy things from Amazon until the strike is over. Real stores exist!

(I say this as a recluse who buys almost everything online)

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Most of the time sellers on Amazon have their own online storefront

[–] TurtleJoe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Yeah. Your item on Amazon often will say "order fulfilled by Company Y." You can look that company up to see if you can order directly from them, that way they still get the sale without Bezos taking his cut.

Same, but I've got away without buying from Amazon for 5+ years now, so I'm pretty sure anyone can do it.

A couple of times a package I ordered from some random website would come in an amazon box, just because they incidentally use the service, but that was it.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 7 points 1 year ago

They got me with the free prime delivery. I'll get, like, a single bottle of Tylenol delivered. My husband likes the card benefits, so they got him there. Plus, sometimes we watch shows and movies if Netflix or Youtube doesn't have them (we only pirate if what we want can't be found elsewhere, since we are fortnate enough to be able to pay for the media we consume)

I hate to say it, but... it's a great service

But even I can walk away, and stand in solidarity with workers. They deserve better, and Amazon can afford to give it to them

We recycle cartons at work to send stuff to our customers.
Saves a bit of money and is better for the environment.

I cannot express how much I love this. Jeff Bezos is an evil piece of dog poo... actually, that is an insult to dog poo.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can say shit on the internet. It’s allowed 😀

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did say shit, my statement is about shit. ;)

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Ok this made me laugh. 🤣

GOOD. Fuck Amazon and their union busting bullshit.

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 95 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh can not wait for Amazon blaming the strike for any and all issues for the next year or so.

[–] oDDmON@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well. There go the Black Friday profits.

[–] sanpo@sopuli.xyz 23 points 1 year ago

Why? People can still order at "discounted" prices, their packages will just arrive a little late.

I'm sure actual profits will not suffer too much.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Gosh darn it!

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It only really works if they keep striking. A one day strike is lame

[–] soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Let's hope the striking workers can afford to live without pay before Amazon cave in and pay up!

...Oh wait I forgot it's 2023

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

If they can't live without pay, what they should really do is unionize.

Do you have any concept what it's like for any fledgling union?

"Lame" shows your ignorance.

[–] PeterPoopshit@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago (8 children)

ebay's usps shipping may not be as fast as prime but it's fast enough for me.

[–] tegs_terry@feddit.uk 16 points 1 year ago

Yep, they're surely not at all scrupulous but I use them all the time now, and indeed I try to buy from specific sites if possible. Amazon is the devil and they've had enough of my money.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

USPS delivered 8 prime orders in two days today 🤷 are we scabs?

Fuck Amazon.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

About damn time!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

not as much as I was hoping for.

[–] GutsBerserk@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Amazon spends obscene amount of money to discourage these strikes. It is a continuous war each year.

Wait, Fucker Carlson made a good point? Broken clock is broken at least once a day I suppose.

[–] ExceedinglyPanWoofer@yiffit.net 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I haven't kept up much with fucker "punchable face" Carlson but from what I've heard, after being fired from Fox, he has started to backpedal on a lot of things he said and is actively trying to salvage his "journalist" career

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to play devils advocate; his leaked texts confirmed he never believed some of the stuff he said (which makes him more of an asshole).

I wouldn't be surprised if he was pressured by Murdoch etc. to push certain narratives.

[–] Wolf_359@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please don't pity him. His first episode on his new show (Tucker on X), was him interviewing a lunatic who claims to have had a gay, drug-fueled orgy with Obama. Tucker literally interviewed this guy as if it were a serious claim, ignoring the fact that the guy is a convicted felon who is known for lying about crazy shit.

No he isn't. If anything he's gone more Info Wars style.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

twice a day! don't you dare take away that extra one from Fucker
