Exclusive: Amazon bosses forced staff at the company's Bristol warehouse to work without access to drinking water and toilets — the latest example of the company's hyper-exploitative employment practices.

      I don’t see how one invalidates the other. Amazon’s predatory practices have killed off the competition and created a sizable price gap. Not everyone has the luxury of voting with their money.

        I haven’t noticed their prices being lower in most cases. Check eBay. It’s usually about 10% cheaper.

        They haven’t killed competition. There are hundreds of other online places to buy stuff for most items, too.

      My household has not bought anything from them since before the pandemic. Unfortunately, this means relying on Walmart, which isn’t much better, but at least they get toilet breaks.
