[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 8421427, member: 18182"] Understandable. On the balance, Amazon isn't exactly a responsible corporate citizen. On the other hand, big-budget entertainment is largely in the domain of large corporations, none of whom are truly responsible corporate citizens. And while corporations aren't people (sorry Supreme Court), they are not monoliths either, and often perform both good and bad actions towards society simultaneously. In my area, we have one of those huge Amazon distribution centers. Warehouses known for worker-unfriendly practices. Yet, they pay more than most entry-level, unskilled work in our area, and our local companies who employ at that level aren't known for being worker-friendly either. I know more than a few who work at the Amazon warehouse, acknowledge Amazon's worker-unfriendly practices . . . but are still happy to work there considering the alternatives. And, Amazon is slowly improving conditions as more sunlight is being shined on their practices. [/QUOTE]
