The $500k fine is of course a complete joke, considering the seriousness of the matter at hand. But "as the company enjoyed booming and historic sales with its stock price doubling, Amazon failed to adequately notify warehouse workers and local health agencies of COVID-19 case numbers", the state's attorney general Rob Bonta said. "This left many workers understandably terrified and powerless to make informed decisions to protect themselves and to protect their loved ones." Amazon lurkers out there - especially L6 and above - do you have anything to say about this? Anything at all? Or are you so used to hearing such patent bullshit from your higher-ups (of the sort pasted below) that it just ... goes through you? Nothing personal - I'd just really like to know. "This settlement is solely about a technicality specific to California state law surrounding the structure of bulk employee COVID-related notifications," the spokesperson added. "There's no change to, or allegations of any problems with, our protocols for notifying employees who might have been in close contact with an affected individual. "We've worked hard from the beginning of the pandemic to keep our employees safe and deliver for our customers - incurring more than $15bn (£11bn) in costs to date - and we'll keep doing that in months and years ahead," they added.

Calm down, SJW. In a pandemic, there's no "informed decision" one can make except to buy an island, stock it up with 2 years of food, then move there. The only people you can blame for this pandemic are CCP/WIV, the CDC for failing to be prepared, Fauci being a habitual liar, and some of the officials who sent corona patients back to nursing homes. Other than that, corona spread 5x further (or faster) than the NIH/CDC expected, so nobody without their own island could have avoided it. Essential services like grocery stores and shipping had to continue during corona or we'd all have starved by now - so 100% mortality vs, 1/500 to corona. Note that if you're basing any of your opinions on the MSM, like cnn.com, you're gravely misinformed. All of the actual corona journalism was done by Sky Australia and NTD Media.
