At this rate the Tech Lords better have their places of exile already picked out and furnished:
Amazon needs to pay back nearly $62 million in drivers’ tips that it skimmed over the years, federal regulators said Tuesday. The Federal Trade Commission unveiled a complaint against the ecommerce giant on Tuesday alleging that Amazon’s Flex program stole nearly $62 million in tips from its army of drivers between 2016 and 2019.
“Rather than passing along 100 percent of customers’ tips to drivers, as it had promised to do, Amazon used the money itself,” Daniel Kaufman, acting director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.
Go here to read the rest. These malicious clowns make the robber barons of the late nineteenth century look like Saint Francis and his original companions in comparison. The felons I have defended over the years, most of them, would have been morally revolted by this. Even crooks have their standards. Not the Tech Lords apparently.
It is of course one of the four sins that cry to heaven for vengeance, to deprive a worker of his due.
And of course Bozo wants in-person voting for unionization of his plant…
Abit off topic yet related – gives you a slight indication of how these Mega Tech Companies are bullying other nations on the global stage by operating freely abroad yet avoiding paying their tax dues. The irony is I was able to copy and paste this from a a Google browser…

Don’t think they don’t do it in the US (I stand to be corrected), but considering the profits that they generate and the power they yield, when it comes to other nations, it’s a different story. Google point-blank, shifted $23 Bill in tax to Bermuda in 2017 alone to avoid paying it in Europe.
If they can do it on a large scale, they will certainly do it to the little guy. Scum. The higher they rise the harder they fall.

The higher they rise the harder they fall.
An accurate prediction of what will happen to the Tech Lords I think Ezabelle.
