“What makes black Friday work in other countries?”

Cultural Appropriation writ large. Exporting the very best of our culture across the world.

Show yesterday highlighted how much AMAZON is becoming ALMOST totally AUTOMATED.

Better to have a job than force yourself out with a strike.

I suppose it represents a tic mark, a starting point for the holiday shopping season. Someone had to show the way.

......”Better to have a job than force yourself out with a strike”.....

Yep...Union Employs fail miserably to understand the Union is going after more money for themselves - they don't care one bit for the employee.

If they don’t like the pay and working conditions, well, there’s the door.

Amazon has bent over backward providing training, medical benefits, good wages from
DAY ONE, for what are essentially entry level jobs. I know when I was young I would have
been supremely grateful for such a job with so many benefits. I despise the Left. No matter
how good things are, they always push their evil narrative.
