Amazon's tax dodging and low wages

mardi 9 juillet 2019 à 02:00

Some propose to boycott Amazon for dodging taxes and paying low wages.

I don't disagree, but a mere boycott is inadequate. It fails to recognize that >Amazon does wrong to its customers directly.

To think of buying from Amazon as a "sin" means closing your eyes to how it mistreats you. I think of it as being spied on. If I bought from Amazon, if I let Alexa listen to me, I would feel ripped off — not merely guilt. I protect my rights; I don't give Amazon a chance to mistreat me.
