Amazon PROMOTES Former Private Prison Exec To Train Workers |Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

It's almost hilarious how transparent Amazon is with their treatment of workers. They really aren't even trying to hide their viewpoints of low level employees, I have no idea why anybody would choose to work there at this point on any level anymore. They're just gross.

She looks like a prison guard. I'm sure she's a barrel of laughs

She is no doubt sympathetic to workers' rights.

Still mind boggling that there are private prisons in the US. I also learned it's a good size business whose profits depend of the wrong outcome for prisoners. Is there a point at which the company makes enough money that they start taking care of the employees a bit more. If Amazon were a country their per capita income would be insane. The whole YoY metric is just wack, the line must go up, the bars be green.

Private prisons are inherently criminal, dealing in human pain and suffering for profit says something about the lengths people will go to for money..

My company hired a private prison executive to a high level position not too long ago (he previously worked for a company that provided for the medical needs of prisoners in private prisons that had been, of course, embroiled in some kind of scandal). We belong to a group of non-public schools owned by a parent company that is, nationally, invested in a variety of non-public education services. I was incensed at the time. Now, this kind of "instution interchange" -- prison to school to factory/warehouse hardly surprises me.

Sadly enough,, this is incredibly appropriate for Amazon.

10:09 Did he just misspeak in seemingly saying ‘we, the elite’? If not, there’s always something so distasteful and disturbingly tone deaf when people speak of themselves as “the elites”, just as the host of this segment just did. If those words ever come out of your own mouth and you don’t instinctively cringe with shame, then you’re lost, and can’t be trusted.

I guess a prison background is better than a slaughter house background.

Remember the Ludlow Massacre, where the mining company couldnt break striking workers, who couldnt afford food on their wages, by beating the union members so called up their lapdog, Colorados governor, who ordered the National Guard to mobilize and destroy the strikers. This involved using machine guns against American citizens and burning 11 children to death and 64 striker deaths overall. Those with wealth and power are willing to kill us to prevent losing even a few dollars. We have been in a class war for a century and a half, across time and various companies and unions, but the struggle is the same. Never forget.
