• Apologies if we had this before and I missed it, but Amazon set up a fund and asked for public donations to pay their staff. Wouldn’t use the tax-cheating, high street destroying, exploitationist scumbags at the best of times, but this is pretty fucking low.

  • I don’t know whether we should believe them or not but their suggestion is to make a fund like this it needs to be open to public donations (I assume that means some sort of charitable tax break which is shitty enough on its own)

  • Playing devil's advocate somewhat, as u understand it (i.e. read on the internet somewhere) the type of fund that was set up had a regulatory requirement that it is open to public donations. They utterly fucked the wording though.

    [Edit] ^ that. Except it's not as if Amazon pays taxes anyway.
