Amazon Prefers Robots To Humans

Here is the latest from one of Amazon's slave labor facilities:

MSP1 is a fairly new and heavily-roboticized factory, much like the facility on Staten Island, New York, where workers recently announced their intention to unionize with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). One worker at the Staten Island facility, in a protest outside New York’s City Hall last week, expressed concern over long shifts, non-functioning smoke detectors and sprinkler systems, and inhumane temperatures. “We have asked the company to provide air conditioning,” she explained to the crowd, “but they told us that the robots inside can’t work in the cold weather.”

You may have noticed that "tech titans" are complaining about the government's feeble attempts to rein in their bad behavior. As far as I am concerned, the feds should shut these bastards down. They disgust me.
