  • This obfuscation of who works for who via a series of subcontracts is horrible. I personally know of the janitorial BS that got started by Winters Cleaning and the cinema industry in the 90s. There’s an article that Variety did on it some years back. It’s about removing responsibility from the company benefitting from the labor. It increases the likelihood that impoverished, desperate people will be taken advantage of. When problems are noticed the last company in the line of subcontractors just fold up. No one is held accountable.

    If Amazon has deep control of operations due their contracts, then yes, Amazon is their employer.



  • I’m not the time traveler here. He’s sitting on the table next to me. He tells me that he had a lovely vanilla ice-cream served by Dolly Madison. His name is Ichabod. Currently he is a cat. Apparently he’s experienced things you don’t want to know about. He shudders when anyone mentions Eldritch or Lovecraft.

    He also loves scratches behind the ears and neck.
