Thread Name: BS: Amazon is laughing at us
Subject: RE: BS: Amazon is laughing at us
We allowed Thatcher to dismantle the trade unions, followed by the connivance in that by successive Blair governments. The upshot is the naked exploitation of workers and the imposition of insecure work contracts on almost everyone. Sure, Amazon is bad news. As is Premier Inn, Tesco, Asda, Poundland, most care homes and courier delivery firms and all the tawdry rest who have taken advantage. You can take a principled stand against one, some or all of them, but we have to breathe the polluted air sometimes. As a person of limited means and not being a charitable institution, I'll hold my nose and still buy stuff from the cheapest sources I can find. Just being honest, you know...
