I empathize with people working the tough jobs! That doesn't necessarily mean I think the jobs must be made less tough, even if I'd prefer they had better options to choose from.

A claim that the produced warnings are selectively used to fire black or unionizing workers would be much more interesting, but I don't see enough evidence to make it yet. It also doesn't really connect to the big headline of 13000 notices at one facility - if that was the purpose of the system, you'd hardly need so many.

Humans get injuries, psychological damage, and that translates to families and society.

To make jobs insufferable just because Amazon can is horrifying. And society will pay for it even if Amazon is the only one profiting.

Conservative towns have had tough jobs for decades and we're better aligned and more stable than many liberal towns who desire for easier jobs.

Sometimes it's better for people to suck it up and tough it out.

What the hell does it have to do with politics

Your statement is the definition of cucked by capitalism

Does everyone have equal rights to marry in a conservative town?

What a stupid question.

It's really not

For many years the GOP platform has called for the end of gay marriage so asking that is valid.

Obama campaigned in 2008 saying he was against gay marriage. The question is still stupid because a town can't declare that gay marriage is illegal.

That's because they've designed the system from the ground up to make collecting such evidence nearly impossible. Unless they're going to open up their books to you, how would you see such evidence?
