Written notes from the meeting, attended by CEO Jeff Bezos, detail Amazon’s strategy to fight union organizing, as well as efforts to obtain COVID-19 tests and protective masks for workers.

The discussion took place at a daily meeting, which included CEO Jeff Bezos, to update each other on the coronavirus situation. Amazon SVP of Global Corporate Affairs Jay Carney described the purpose to CNN on Sunday: “We go over the update on what’s happening around the world with our employees and with our customers and our businesses. We also spend a significant amount of time just brainstorming about what else we can do” about COVID-19….

Hi zeus,
Chuckles and smile – that would be an interesting proposition to test.
Since the only thing the 1% seem to fear is their personal safety, it may come to just such a test to force changes.
Maybe it is time to spin up a DIY parts business for the sudden slicing of large fleshy items.
Might call it the cow chopper to fly under the Bezos radar.

Gates had weekly meetings with Trump and earned himself, and the corporation he created and owns stocks in, a $10 billion contract from our broke ass government.
So Gates and Bezos need to take their filthy rich con somewhere they haven’t screwed over most of the citizens. Two lying thieves trying to con us all.
The filthy rich are a danger to a peaceful society. They should be outlawed.
