Amazon in particular. We all should have absolutely buried Amazon years ago. Better late than never, but getting rid of DEI is not even in the top 100 horrible things Amazon has done.
I’m probably going to get shit on for this, but I’ve always supported Amazon until last couple years for one big reason, it gave competition to Walmart. Amazon’s union busting practices were learned from the Walton masters, those of y’all who remember Walmart having butchers? The reason they’re gone is they unionized and Walmart got rid of them. Walmart will invade a town, bullying them to build their store without having to pay for utilities or they’ll move to the next down over, run that store at a loss until all competition is gone then if it’s too small a town they’ll close it down forcing people to go to the central hub. They have training for employees to get food stamps while actively avoiding letting people work full time to avoid giving benefits… things they’ve been doing since Amazon was a bookstore in a garage.
And if you’re against Project 2025, the Walton Family was one of the three that proudly donates to the Heritage Foundation.
I am here to go against any of these big corporations and Amazon is number 2 on the list, both need to go down. But as someone who used to live in its hometown I’m just consistently baffled that Walmart is somehow teflon to the outright attempts to bring it down whereas Target and Amazon get them every time. If anyone wants to know on size of these companies, Walmart is number 1 company by revenue, Amazon is number 2. The next 4 companies are State owned by China or Saudi Arabia, and 7th had a CEO Luigi’d.
