In mid-2022, the lawsuit alleges, the Seattle-based online retailer imposed what it called a delivery “exclusion” on two low-income ZIP codes in the district — 20019 and 20020 — and began relying exclusively on third-party delivery services such as UPS and the U.S. Postal Service, rather than its own delivery systems
DC wants them to warn customers that that can’t get the full service depending on zip but imagine what the next headline reads. Probably something like: “Amazon’s racist policy disproportionately excludes black zip codes from Prime delivery service”.
That’s kind of like if iMessage dropped SMS support. Yeah, I know if it’s a green bubble it’s not encrypted. But I wouldn’t want them to just not allow it.
Ask almost any person of color since you seem to think anecdotes trump data.
I can see what they think by reading your source.
I mean for fuck’s sake, the country just elected a racist who is putting a bunch of racists in his cabinet.
Is the election of Obama proof positive of the US' lack of racism? Or does it not work both ways?
Regardless, my assertion is that (most) people didn't vote for him because of his racism. They voted for him in spite of his racism because they actually think he'll make the country better. You and I know damn well Trump isn't going to make anything better but that doesn't stop them from believing it (sound familiar?).
Do you believe that Republicans, given the choice between Candice Owens and $whiteLeftyOrDem, Republicans are going 3rd party or voting $whiteLeftyOrDem? I assert they'd vote for Candice.
You spoke of "facts" and then linked me a survey. After I asserted that lefties are wrong in their assessment of how the right sees race in relation to politics.
I believe Pew is a good source to get a good idea about what people think. This does not, however, mean they survey respondents are correct in their assessment or correctly ascribe racial motivation to a particular political party.
In fact, I believe you know this, given what's in your source:
And when it comes to views about racial discrimination, 78% of white Democrats say the bigger problem is people not seeing it where it really does exist, while a similar share of white Republicans say people seeing racial discrimination where it really does not exist is the bigger problem.
And if they ignored the problem you’d be criticizing Amazon for failing to care for their employees (contractors).
A private company isn’t well positioned to actually solve the root issue here. All they can do is remove their employees (contractors) from danger.
Amazon’s shitty for other reasons. But I don’t think this is one of them.
