      He couldn’t out spend his opponent so he’s funneling all his cash into fake news. Another failed strategy.

    The incentives were there for employees to blag they had covid, so they did, to get 2 weeks off

    1.4% out of its 1.37 million frontline workers are tested positive, which is below the nationwide proportion of 2.2%. I wonder if Amazon did a good job or is there something fishy…

    And how many of those survived? The media always tends to forget that.

      Even if 100 people died, it’s a 100 fucking people.

      Was Covid19 deliberately mixed in with the air of packaging materials for international flights from CCP?

      Hell yeah, you won’t stay skeeered in yer basement if they tell the truth. No pandemic in history was concerned with any numbers but the dead.

    If you have any respiratory inflammation or symptoms or sickness you are labeled as covid-19 even though there is no test for the Wuhan virus.

      It’s obvious that you just don”t get it. On the other hand, if you continue without social distancing, I bet you eventually will!

    They’re getting to rollin some new tech in the warehouses, this is just an excuse to remove people. They did the same when they got the new robotic cherry picker arm. Horrible reporting by the way Bloombust.

    Buy no brainer bullet proof cash rich companies: I bought Amazon, Apple, Nvidia, Facebook, Microsoft, Google, Wells Fargo,
    Netflix, CRM, Lululemon
    TRUST THE PROCESS. The stock market goes up in the long term because it takes 2 steps forward for every 1 step backward.
    There’s a lot of money on the sidelines, and new 401K money

    Stay away from Amazon packages. They are loaded with deadly Chinese coronavirus.

    Since when does Amazon have “Employees”?

    They have slave labour at “Fair Market Price”
