Amazon doesn't pay its' employees for all the hours they work. SCOTUS says they don't have to.

That's big business colluding with government to steal money from low wage employees. No. I don't trust Amazon.

Is it enough for you to just chose not to do business with them? Certainly there are a multitude of other shopping options available to you.

Or do you want to see their company destroyed?

I'm starting to think you really do want a U.S. Department of the Internet.

We had this talk before. Have you ever worked an hourly job where you were required to stay without pay after punching out?

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that warehouse workers who fill orders for retail giant Amazon don’t have to be paid for time spent waiting to pass through security checks at the end of their shifts.
Some workers at Amazon contractor Integrity Staffing Solutions, Inc., claim they wait up to 25 minutes to clear security before they can go home.

I don't think I do, actually. I'm just asking questions.

I do have choices when it comes to retail shopping. If I had real choice of an ISP, I'd be happier. I've never lived in an area that had more than two choices, none of them good, so I don't see competition running to get my business anytime soon. In the meantime, not only will we have to pay to get to the internet, we'll likely have to pay an excise tax for going to websites that haven't paid their protection money to the ISP.
