  • I’m not quite sure what your hang-up is? Is it the word slave? If that is it, then the employees of Amazon are the wage-slaves that deserve due credit. Where as I might consider myself a slave in the sense that I find myself answering to their bidding.

    • Jack up rates, yes master.
    • Interrupt us with ads, sure go ahead master
    • disrupting buying patterns, always you master

    My sense of freedom from Amazon is not up for debate.

    So what is your @hogmamma@lemmy.world relationship with Amazon?


  • A few things

    • Amazon years their employees like shit. Pay and treat them properly. Our gadget for $20 less than we can get from another store is subsidized by those workers.

    • the commercials on Prime video. I specifically pay to watch shows, and not be interrupted and pitched dish soap. That was the deal

    • removing the option of prime delivery will mean I will source my options more fairly to local sellers

    In the end, I feel less dirty by not having that option. In the long run, will Amazon serve me better? The enshitification of the internet has taught me the answer will be no.





  • Yes those problems do exist, and considering the conservatives position on these matters, we have work to do.

    But I’m happy with our immigration policies, improvements are needed for sure.

    I think racism is an issue, and there are many great examples of how as a country we rise above it.

    Lack of compassion is a significant problem for sure, the drug addled population are losing the fight against addiction.
    The indigenous nations have been treated poorly for sure. That is our nations shame.

    But I believe passionately that being a woman, minority, or a transgendered person, Canada is the safest country and there are plenty of opportunities to thrive. And that goes for the rest of us cis-gendered, anglo-caucasians as well.
