Amazon Fires Flex Workers by Computer #1536

June 28, 2021PodcastKirk

Amazon is firing Flex workers by computer and the company is perfectly ok with that even if it makes mistakes. There is a long line of people wanting flex jobs and so long as they have applicants they will just use and abuse and toss these workers to the unemployment line for little to no reason.

Amazon Dumps Millions of Products Annually! #1535

June 21, 2021PodcastKirk

So Amazon has been caught in an investigative piece in the UK of dumping literally millions of new and barely used items in landfills, while they claim it’s a recycling center the company doing the investigative work says it was a landfill? If so this is very damning info.

Five Bills to Break Up Big Tech #1534

June 14, 2021PodcastKirk

There are five bills in work to essentially dismantle much of the power that big tech has today in an attempt to level the playing field but in all honesty, the measures do not go very far and have little chance of becoming law. Big tech is powerful and they spread money wide to politicians and they do not like to cut off the arm that feeds them.

Ford F-150 Lightning 100,000 Pre-Orders #1533

June 10, 2021PodcastKirk

The most sold pickup truck in the world the Ford F-150 electric version Lightning has had 100,000 pre-orders since its announcement. In comparison, Tesla had 250k orders in almost the same time for its cybertruck. The question is will Ford F-150 owners jump on board and support this new vehicle. My prediction is that it will be slow going.

Jeff Bezos to be an Astronaut #1532

June 7, 2021PodcastKirk

Jeff Bezos is going to risk life and limb and strap himself into a rocket and go on a joyride to space to earn his Astronaut wings. Stepping down as CEO as of July 5th will allow him the opportunity to travel to space with 5 others including his brother. I would suspect his insurance company will likely not insure him for this endeavor or if it does the premium will be incredible.

If the audio is off a little today my apology had to go to a backup as the main recorder failed.

Amazon Industrial Athlete #1531

June 3, 2021PodcastKirk

Have you ever heard of an Industrial Athlete? Well, that is what Amazon is referring to its employees in a leaked pamphlet that seriously attempts to make Amazon warehouse workers think they are training for some competition that happens daily. I am not sure what idiot came up with that slogan, obviously, one that does not work on the warehouse floor and peers down their nose at the counterparts.
