    Nice to see an interview where the interviewer isn’t trying to get their own agenda done (like when Tucker interviewed him & tried to get him to complain about AOC, which Chris handled masterfully).

    It IS true AND dystopian. Amazon tracks your downtime. You get 30 minutes of “time off task,” as they call it, a day. I had a doctor’s note for my overactive bladder, and I still got written up multiple times for leaving my station and going to the bathroom “too much.”

    Success is dependent on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Show me a man who doesn’t have an investment, and i will tell you how soon he will go broke. Investment is building a safe heaven for the future. With the right choice of Investment that has at least 1% minimum risk and with an expert guidance, profit and Intrest is 100% guaranteed.I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

    I have mad respect for him! I was totally oblivious to this. I wish he left everyone with a website to go or an actual way customers can take action to stand in solidarity with the union. Whether that means not buying from amazon or something else.
