I wouldn't be so sure. I get random issues with my amazon shipments all the time, like missing items and expired stuff. Those are mistakes robots wouldn't make. But all the boxes seem pretty perfectly taped, so perhaps they have a taping robot.
Corporate welfare=good
Poor people welfare=bad
Dont want Atlas to shrug guys!

"Robots do most of the warehouse work, tbh."
Even with 80,000 robots, Amazon is working hard to find human warehouse labor
industry leaders say there’s compe ion for human labor.
Amazon will hold job fairs at dozens of locations this month, where it hopes
to recruit 50,000 workers,
most for full-time work inside its warehouses.

Wondering why your tax return is smaller this year?
Amazon will pay $0 in federal income taxes for the second year in a row
https://theweek.com/speedreads/82359...econd-year-rowAmazon, which doubled its profits and made more than $11 billion in 2018, won't pay any federal income taxes for the second year in a row, the Ins ute on Taxation and Economic Policy reported on Wednesday.
The company will not be required to pay the standard 21 percent income tax rate on its 2018 profits, and is claiming a tax rebate of $129 million, which ITEP describes as a "a tax rate of negative 1 percent."
Amazon drew ire in 2018 for not paying federal taxes on its $5.6 billion in profits the year before, which was made possible due to tax credits and stock-based compensation, reports Politifact. Last year was the first time Amazon paid no federal income tax whatsoever.
From 2011 to 2016, Amazon payed federal income tax at a rate of 11.4 percent — less than half of the national rate of 35 percent. Due to President Trump's corporate-friendly tax cuts, Amazon will pay any deferred or postponed taxes at the lowered rate of 21 percent rather than the previous rate of 35 percent, per Politifact.
Based out of Washington state, which has no income tax, Amazon has also been free from state filings on income.

ing Amazon.
You should never use them. Ever. I know I won't. Nope not me.
Nobody is calling for a boycott, dummy.
Amazon didn't like the idea of the terms of the deal becoming public, or of opening the shop floor to labor unions.
Not trickling down?
