Robots? Child’s play. The data center boom in Loudoun County will be the real job killer in a matter of years.

People hated Amazon when it was a top US employer. Now it hates Amazon because it’s going to be less of a US employer. Either way, people are going to hate Amazon. Whatever.

Despite our wishes, corporations are not social welfare organizations that try to make the world a better place by, for instance, providing good paying jobs. Corporations exist to return shareholder value. Full stop.
LOL. Remember when the conservatives called them “job creators” and made them all sound like humanitarians???

Amazon Plans to Replace More Than Half a Million Jobs With Robots
Internal documents show the company that changed how people shop has a far-reaching plan to automate 75 percent of its operations.
Now, interviews and a cache of internal strategy documents viewed by The New York Times reveal that Amazon executives believe the company is on the cusp of its next big workplace shift: replacing more than half a million jobs with robots.
companies have been using robots for a long time. and will continue to expand.
if we had elites that would help their fellow citizens , we could adapt to this trend.
the problem is not the robots, the problem is US styled capitalism and our culture of everyone for themselves. our elites have no morals and have created the income inequalities.
look at how H1B and OPT have been expanded by our political elites, and no one cares about the negatives impacts on the workers.

Source? Last time I checked, Amazon does a lot of creative accounting to obfuscate the details to hide the extent they influence pricing for both buyers and sellers, and to maintain the idea that they're a high growth tech company to keep the stock going.
Are you the lady who screams what numbers? Amazon publishes their annual report on their website with revenues breakdown by business unit. Do you know how to find it?

Robots don’t shop.
Top earners are pushing consumerism along. They don’t need these poor Amazon warehouse employees anymore.
I am not even top earner and I don’t shop on Amazon for cheap crap.
