Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.
Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.
And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.
The system is rigged.

What the US did was illegal and wrong and there needs to be real international consequences or this administration is going to continue to do whatever it wants.
President Donald Trump said that the US is "going to run" Venezuela in the immediate aftermath of President Nicolás Maduro's capture. Trump did not offer a timeline for how long he anticipated such a transition of power would take.
