[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully Mark will drive them out of the county, and then move on to protesting other grocery stores and retailers. We won’t have true social justice until all profit-making enterprises are forced out of Montgomery.

This is why I voted for Elrich. Because I want him to ruin this county. [/quote]

Eh, come on, is Amazon really a neighbor any of us want?[/quote]

They wouldn’t have put up a store otherwise.

Do you really think Amazon’s store is going to treat its employees worse than Giant/Safeway/etc. do?

This is sort of like people screaming about Walmart while shopping at Target...[/quote]

Amazon already has a long track record of treating its employees fairly badly. So ... yes, I do think they probably will treat employees there worse than at unionized stores like Giant.[/quote]
Why go out of your way to protest a new Amazon Fresh that’s not in your neighborhood when at any time in the last decade they could have protested Amazons treatment of workers at the Whole Foods in downtown Silver Spring just a few blocks from where they live?

If people want to claim principles, at least be consistent. [/quote]

I mean, I'm not protesting anywhere, I'm just saying there's no particular reason to give Amazon the benefit of the doubt.[/quote]
Seems a little bit late for that, no? Like a decade late if they were concerned about Amazon subsidiary retail workers.[/quote]
