I can't read the full article to understand why those operators wages dropped, but it's easy to do a job search and see the $18/hr starting wage (which is really good for needing no experience).

It's also lower than other warehouses, including UPS

As i said, those reports aren't false. apparently it does happen, but you guys also don't understand the structure. As i said, Amazon drivers are hired on through 3rd party companies that get contracts from amazon. The drivers were the ones peeing in bottles, not warehouse workers. Their supervisors aren't from Amazon. They're from whatever company they hired on with.

They have to adhere to quotas set by Amazon
https://www.vice.com/en/article/dy8n3j/amazon-delivery-drivers-forced-to-sign-biometric-consent-form-or-lose-job

Technically, these drivers aren't even employed by Amazon, but by roughly 800 companies, known as delivery service partners that operate out of Amazon delivery stations. Still, Amazon controls many aspects of its drivers working conditions, from their training to their uniforms to their delivery quotas.

The problem is: it's not true
https://www.economist.com/united-states/2018/01/20/what-amazon-does-to-wages

Alas, the influx of jobs has not boosted wages for the regions forklift drivers and order-fillers. In the years since Amazon opened its doors in Lexington County, annual earnings for warehouse workers in the area have fallen from $47,000 to $32,000, a decline of over 30% (see chart 1).

Solitary confinement for the rest of your life is cruel and inhumane. Its torture while pretending to hold a moral high ground against killing.

I'd note that life imprisonment doesn't necessarily entail solitary. You're right, solitary is cruel and inhumane!

Again, you are stating facts of incarceration. Everything you stated is still accomplished by killing them.

Killing them comes with additional risks: the added cost, the irreversibility of the decision in cases of wrongful conviction (4% of cases, by some estimates), and the chance of torturing people in ways that violate the constitution when things go wrong

Skip death row and kill him immediately. Found guilty? Bring him out back and shoot him in the head. If a .356 hollow point is too expensive, the guillotine worked pretty well and I imagine the cost to set one up is cheaper than keeping someone alive on death row for decades.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/republicans-now-want-to-audit-2020-election-results-in-states-that-donald-trump-won?ref=home

The Arizona state Senate's haphazard, controversial audit of 2020 ballots has become a popular destination for Republican lawmakers looking to undermine the results in battleground states that Joe Biden won. And now, audit-mania has spread even to the states that Biden lost.
In the wake of
the Arizona audits success at grabbing publicity across right-wing media, Republican lawmakers in states that Trump won are demanding Arizona-style audits or other election inspections of their own.

The Republican hunt for voter-fraud evidence even in states that voted for Trump reveals how far inside the party the idea has spread that the election was stolen.

Focusing on fraud claims allows Republican officials to raise money and attention from devoted Trump supporters, according to former Republican National Committee communications director Doug Heye. It also helps lawmakers align themselves with Trumps claims of widespread fraud, ingratiating themselves with the energized Trump grassroots as they try to claim more power in the party.

This is about two things, and these are symbiotic, Heye said. The continued fealty for all things Trump, and placating the base or the portion of the base that still cant accept a clear loss.

Donald Trump won conservative Utah by more than 20 percent. But Utah state Rep. Steve Christiansen (R) traveled to Phoenix to see the Arizona audit in person anyway, telling The Daily Beast hed like to see a similar audit of 2020 ballots implemented in his own state. Christiansen has asked a legislative committee in Utah to consider conducting its own audit of the states ballots.
I wanted to make sure I got to Arizona while the audit was being conducted, Christiansen told The Daily Beast.

The prospect of audits that could somehow dispute Bidens electoral college win have become articles of faith for Trump supporters unable to get over the former presidents defeat, as Republican-held legislatures across the country use a sense that the election was stolen to push voting restrictions across the country. Some Republican voters have also become fixated on a domino theory about the election, which holds that if Arizonas audit finds fraud in their election, other states that voted for Biden will fall like dominos.

Still, that doesnt explain why Republicans in states that voted for Trump are now calling for audits of their own. Asked why he wants an audit in a state that Trump handily won, Christiansen claimed he was concerned after seeing proven evidence of voter fraud across the country.

Asked for proof of voter fraud, Christiansen referred The Daily Beast to a much-disputed document produced by former Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro. The Washington Post dubbed the 30-page dossier as perhaps the most embarrassing document created by a White House staffer.

For me, its all about making sure we have free and fair elections, Christiansen said.
...
One America News host Christina Bobb has started suggesting to politicians visiting the Phoenix audit that their own states should have similar investigations, even ones that voted for Trump.

Jackson Lahmeyer, a 29-year-old Oklahoma pastor whos attempting to primary Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) from the right, told Bobb in Phoenix that he had been blown away by the Arizona audit, describing it as a logistical masterpiece.

After Lahmeyer called for similar audits in other battleground states that voted for Biden, Bobb asked Lahmeyer whether Oklahoma should have an audit of its own.

I would go so far as to say, it would be important in Oklahoma as well, even though Oklahoma wasnt necessarily one of the contested states, said Bobb, who has fundraised to pay for the Arizona audit, while claiming to report on it as a journalist.
...
Trump won North Carolina by more than one percentage point. But in that state, members of the state legislatures conservative Freedom Caucus are demanding an inspection of the voting machines used in 2020 to see whether they could have somehow been subverted to commit election fraud.

In a statement, the Freedom Caucus said its members want to inspect voting machines to see if they have modems that could connect to the internet. In a statement posted to Facebook, state Rep. Keith Kidwell (R) said he wants the voting machines inspected by outside technicians, promising to put the hard question to these guys about what is going on with the machines.
