The Alexa listening device is at 1:15 in case you want to know about them listening to what is happening in your home.

I'm SURE it will make them all look like wonderful people.

Nope... anti union, overworking employees and more.

Also the amazing rise and their business actions, practices and more.
Ex: Employees and executives talking about wordsmithing workshops on what not to say.. etc.

The part about Alexa always listening and conversations being recorded to help Alexa learn (yeah right) is disturbing.

This is not a fluff and stuff piece.

Yeah, because Frontline is known for making people look good:laughing

Thanks, Budman, will check it out.

And I gotta say, the "host" has one of the best voices for narration, you know things are serious when you hear his voice.

Amazon is in the process of building 3 warehouse's about 2 and a half miles from my house. They already have 2 almost complete and are hiring - so the sign says :teeth Lots of new jobs right there for people.

You don't need to. It's on PBS for free.

Because amazon, big business and neoliberalism haven't quite yet all of the destroyed commonwealth yet.

interesting take on that here.
