I choose instead to rely on my 3+ decades of experience in manual labor positions to form my opinions of Amazon's "horrible" working conditions. Nothing I've seen/read has yet convinced me that an Amazon warehouse employee has it any worse/better than any other non-union factory/warehouse worker in America. And nothing has convinced me that their treatment should be
better simply because Amazon is bigger and wildly successful.

You Amazon apologists seem blind in one eye when it comes to seeing the glaring faults of Amazon's labor practices.

Is anyone who disagrees with your views on Amazon/labor automatically an "apologist?" How nice it must be to be assured that your convictions are righteous, while anyone's who disagrees with you are based on blindness and brand loyalty.

And before you start bleating about Why pick on Amazon? and Other companies do it too, please see my previous post. It's utterly obvious point, but one that the apologists seem to be determined to remain unconscious of.

In keeping with your previous post (and its largely irrelevant point): I haven't used an Amazon ereading device/app in several years, and haven't bought an ebook from them in probably six months. So how can I be an Amazon apologist? Couldn't I just possibly be someone who simply doesn't share the same views as you--instead of the sheep you implied I was with your rude "bleating" comment?
Enjoy your confirmation-bias-fueled hate-affair with a corporate entity that deserves neither love nor hate. I'm sure it will bring you great comfort in the end.
