    No, I don't believe that.  It was suggested as comedy on the Late Night show (Colbert), I'm just trolling.

    Biden was probably sniffing kids hair in the deep state bunker and somehow forced the slow Turtle to pass Bezos's tax cut.  But I'm spinning ****.

    Good job trolling @nolaegghead. keep in mind that Bezos probably has his own skeletons in the closet. You don’t get that rich by not stepping on folks along the way and probably doing some underhanded ****

    They guy is a total ****, I'm no fan.   I like him to the extent of the "enemy of my enemy is my friend", but that's it.  Also, Amazon, AWS and their services are pretty awesome from a consumer standpoint.

    Some additional Amazon/privacy info you may be interested in:

    I went to the "My Devices" tab on their website, and my two Echoes weren't even listed, just an old Kindle that I don't use.  Hmm.  
    This is the first I have heard of this. Thanks, I need to opt out ASAP.

    I'd just like to see Amazon pay and treat their workers a little better.  Doesn't seem like a lot to ask given the profits the company has been generating.  
    Sure thing comrade.

    I’ll actually echo what @JohnInCarolina said. They offer $20/hr pay....what they fail to mention is you only work 22 hours a week. Zero opportunity for OT.

    Those folks that drive Amazon labeled vans and deliver our packages are not Amazon employees. Those fleets and the employees are actually independently owned and operated businesses ("Delivery Service Partners").
    I have no idea as to the hours per week many work, what they are paid, what holiday pay might take place, etc. Guessing it will vary from operator to operator.

    Buddy of mines wife left her Supervisor position at a big box store lured away by higher pay per hour. She now has 2 jobs to cover the payroll difference of what she was making to what she made working at an Amazon distribution facility.

    Shame.  Seems like that was knowable upfront.
    Love you bro!

    Not every job is the perfect fit for everyone. I bet there are lots of people that would love to have, and only need,  about 20 hours a week. Very hard to find a part time job making $20 an hour for most people. Well, unless you want to be assistant Mgr at a fast food joint.
    Thank you,
