> Forcing employees to pee in bottles is pretty bad.
Yes it is(Like dozens of other things listed in that Wiki), But I didn't ask that. I wanted to know how do you suggest we strike at 'the weakness of Amazon' to fix it (Like you suggested) that it treats it's employees with dignity and respect after that?
Because IMO if there's anything, It could have been done when Amazon's mistreatment of its workers surfaced way back in 2001.
>Hah, the notion that punishments always work is funny. Good one. Try that on your kids.
That's the point of punishments, isn't it? Just calling them out is convenient but does nothing.
> Look, making a punishment bigger may or may not help.
That's the whole point. They're too big for any punishments, Hence qualified people have been arguing that private companies shouldn't get that big(It undermines the basic tenants of democracy reg accumulation of power); But unfortunately those who can take action about it are also getting big thanks to $AMZN.

You call them out for the individual wrongs like those listed on the Wikipedia page. Vote with your wallet. Debate and discuss.
> They're too big for any punishments
I don't agree with that. No company survives forever.
> Jack Ma & China
The US is not going to fine Amazon out of business like the CCP did to Jack Ma. The CCP is evil, not the people. Their crackdown on people's ability to freely debate and discuss just shoots the country's most valuable asset, its people, in its own foot over in over in order to maintain footholds for a relatively small group controlling the party. Any creative ideas are squashed. If the CCP would let up they would give rise to a new generation of ingenuity in China. Of course some CCP members might face criticism for that. It's up to them to decide whether or not to move in that direction. Nobody likes to be on the receiving end of criticism and you need to be strong to take it.
The East India Company was rightly criticized for holding trade monopolies that were later abolished. It's fair to consider whether a company the size of Amazon also has some monopolies and to ask the FTC to investigate or act.
