You know we already probably have a bunch of Mozarts and Einsteins peeing in bottles to avoid getting dinged while driving Amazon Prime trucks because that's the only way they can get by.
They're almost certainly is a bunch of geniuses who were never appreciated because they spend their entire lives trying to get food and water because they were unfortunate enough to be born into Ethiopia. We could feed and house and educate these people if we really wanted to, to the benefit of not just themselves, but the entire species if they did turn out to be the next Einstein. Instead the likes of Jeff Bezos go on podcasts and talk about how wonderful the distant future is going to be, while at the same time being utterly unprepared to do anything about the problems we have right now.
Is space Karen actually paid his taxes we probably could build a base on Mars with that money.
By that... We all live in Ethiopia. Compared to what could be, without the crooks and their rigged game holding us down
[and telling us they're our saviours, when they let us up for a bit of air, or take credit for making us strong when we manage to struggle for a gasp by ourselves].
I have to bite my tongue anytime someone mentions getting one or two day shipping. Like, you're not going to die if you don't get your RAM tomorrow ffs.
I legitimately would be okay with an "it gets to you within a month" option.
Look at moneybags here, able to afford RAM.
This is pretty much how all my Aliexpress orders go. Works for me.
It's not the next day delivery that's the problem Amazon could totally offer that and not abuse their workforce. It would just cost them some more money so they don't do it.
It wouldn't cost them money, they would just make slightly less money per year. Which is just me being pedantic, but it matters in these contexts.
Like, Bezos could have been the most loved billionaire on the entire earth, just through treating his workers slighty better and some minor philanthropy on the side, but no, he had to squeeze every fuckin penny out of everything.
That's a bit pedantic. It currently is an issue and Amazon isn't going to change anytime soon.
