I wonder how long the walkout will last. Is it a 1-day strike? or are they merely considered "calling out". Or will it be sort of a 1-hour statement, before they hurry back to work?

now this, this is fucked. I assume they employ more than most, but nowhere near half of the total.

I stopped buying from Amazon about 6 months ago, maybe more. You really don't miss it once it's gone -- and in extreme cases, people who actively use Amazon treat it almost like an addiction. They literally cannot stop.

The store's not in my house tho. If they put the store in my house, I'll consider it.

The bolded part is important. Because without a real source it can easily just be propagandizing bullshit.

The thing is though, if you're gonna cite statistics to make your point, you should have a source for them. Not doing so makes you look dishonest imo.

Either way, thank you for providing a source, one way or the other. But now I'm tempted to look and see if the Department of Labor has done a study, or any organization that doesn't have a ball on the court for the issue. Yes, I'm aware how obnoxious I'm being about it.

Amazon primarily sells cheap junk that's made in China.

So do Walmart, Target, and Dollar General, what's your point?
