"You are hereby sentenced to serve as much time as it takes for Amazon to make $500,000"
(Bangs gavel)
"You're free to go."
- Thank you for summoning the rare literal LOL.
When are we gonna lock up employers for stealing from employees??

  Makes me thankful for my org because they’re SO FUCKING STRICT about all the stuff on the left. You get in trouble if you don’t let them pay you. All breaks are paid.
  It’s a nonprofit (which is kinda also for profit, it makes hella money) so that’s prolly part of it, if they made less money they’d prolly fuck us all more
  
  lol there’s enough companies out there just literally… robbing their employees that it’s part of the statistic? Does that mean like… idk, taking your your employees tools and claiming them as the companies or something?
  Edit: Misread the graph. I’m mad core dumb.
I can guarantee Amazon has stolen at least 10x more from their employees than what the employees as a whole have stolen from Amazon.
- Still doesn't make theft right tho. Just means both parties involved in this suck and are thieves.
  
  Nope, the only bad party here is the one doing huge amounts of wage theft internationally. So much for your "socialist" ideals.
