LAST WEEK WAS AMAZON PRIME DAY.
DID YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD PRIME
DAY?
ATMOSPHERE OH, YES.
AS A KID NOTHING WAS MORE
EXCITING THAN AMAZON PRIME EVE.
WE'D DECORATE THE BEZOS, STAY UP
ALL NIGHT EAGERLY AWAITING THE
DRONES COMING DOWN THE CHIMNEY
BRINGING BOOKS, LAUNDRY
DETERGENT AND VCRs, ALL THE
WHILE MINING OUR PERSONAL DATA.
OH, THOSE WERE THE DAYS.
WELL, IF YOU CELEBRATED PRIME
DAY YOU PROBABLY SCORED SOME
GREAT DEALS.
BUT YOU ALSO PROBABLY
[ BLEEP ]ED OVER A LOT OF
PEOPLE.
>> IT'S DESCRIBED AS A CUTTHROAT
CORPORATE JUNGLE WHERE WORKERS
ARE PITTED AGAINST ONE ANOTHER,
80-HOUR WORKWEEKS ARE THE NORM,
FALLING ILL CAN MEAN YOU'RE OUT
OF A JOB.
>> HOW BAD IS IT?
WELL, FOR ONE, AMAZON WAREHOUSE
WORKERS PEE IN BOTTLES BECAUSE
THEY CAN'T TAKE TOILET BREAKS.
MEANWHILE CEO JEFF BEETS ZOES IS
WORTH ABOUT $150 BILLION.
THINK WHAT HE COULD DO WITH THAT
MONEY FOR HIS EMPLOYEES.
THEY COULD BE BPEEING IN GOLD
GOBLETS.
YOU'D THINK THEY'D PUT THAT IN
THE CORNER, RIGHT?
THAT GUY'S EITHER TAKING TOO
MANY OR NOT ENOUGH VITAMINS.
LAST YEAR AMAZON PAID NO INCOME
TAX.
BUT THE EMPLOYEES SEE NO
BENEFITS AT ALL.
>> ACCOUNTS RECOUNT ANECDOTES
FROM FORMER EMPLOYEES, FROM ONE
WHO SAID NEARLY EVERY PERSON I
WORK WITH I SAW CRY AT THEIR
DESK, MEN INCLUDED.
TO A WOMAN WHO MISCARRIED TWINS
BUT WENT ON A BUSINESS TRIP THE
NEXT DAY.
HER BOSS, SHE SAYS, TOLD HER,
I'M SORRY, THE WORK IS STILL
GOING TO NEED TO GET DONE.
>> WOW.
YEAH.
THEY PRESSURED A WOMAN TO WORK
THE DAY AFTER SHE HAD A
MISCARRIAGE.
AND I THOUGHT AMAZON WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE GOOD WITH
DELIVERIES.
ZARM ALSO HAS BEEN ACCUSED OF
PROFITING OFF RISSISM.
RECENTLY LIKE THIS LYNCHING
DECAL, BECAUSE LET BE HONEST, IT
WILL BE ON A TRACK.
AND NOT ONE BUT TWO DIFFERENT
CHINESE BOY COSTUMES.
FIRST OF ALL, YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEY'RE DOING UNDERNEATH
THE BLURRED HEADS.
MAYBE THEY'RE PUTTING IN TWO
CONTACTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
ANYWAY, SHAME ON YOU FOR SELLING
THESE, ZAM, SHAME ON THE CHINESE
BOY WHO SEWED THEM.
AMAZON EMPLOYEES IN EUROPE HAVE
GONE ON STRIKE AND CALLED FOR
BOYCOTT AND THEY'RE WONDERING IF
THE UNITED STATES WILL JOIN THE
CAUSE.
AND I SAY YES!
THIS MAKES ME NEVER WANT TO SHOP
AT AMAZON AGAIN!
EXCEPT FOR, YOU KNOW, SOCKS, YOU
KNOW.
WHERE ELSE AM I GOING TO GET SOCKS?
I'VE ALWAYS BOUGHT THESE SOCKS
AT AMAZON.
IF YOU CAN TELL ME ANOTHER WAY
TO GET SOCKS, I'D LIKE TO HEAR
IT.
GRANDMOTHER BOTH MADE AND
PURCHASED SOCKS FOR ME.
OF COURSE WE'LL BOYCOTT AMAZON.
THE ONLY THING WE HATE MORE THAN
INJUSTICE IS INCONVENIENCE ARE.
WE KNOW GIANT COMPANIES PROFIT
FROM HUMAN SUFFERING.
APPLE HAD USE CHILD LABOR.
FACEBOOK IS BRIMMING WITH HATE
SPEECH.
UBER HAS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH
SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN THE
WORKPLACE.
WHICH IS PARTICULARLY UNSETTLING
SINCE THE WORKPLACE IS TYPICALLY
A TOYOTA PRIUS AND THE HR
DEPARTMENT IS A BOBBLEHEAD WHO
TURNS A BLIND EYE TO ASSAULT.
THESE COMPANIES ARE PART OF OUR
DAILY LIVES.
WE WON'T STOP USING THEM.
BESIDES, HOW WILL EVERYONE KNOW
I'M AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT IF
I CAN'T TAKE AN UBER TO THE
PROTEST, AND I CAN'T TAKE
INSTAGRAM PICTURES WITH MY
iPHONE ANY NEED TO VIOLATE HUMAN
RIGHTS IN ORDER TO ADVOCATE FOR
HUMAN RIGHTS.
FOR MANY PEOPLE, BOYCOTTS AREN'T
EVEN A REALLY BIG OPTION.
YOU MIGHT LIVE IN A TOWN WHERE
WALMART IS THE ONLY PLACE TO
SHOP.
OR McDONALD'S IS THE MOST
AFFORDABLE RESTAURANT.
OR THE ONLY SHOE STORE IS RUN BY
A SERIAL KILLER.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
GO BAREFOOT?
BUT HERE'S MY SOLUTION.
SHAME.
IF YOU BUY SOMETHING FROM A
COMPANY WE KNOW IS BAD, YOU HAVE
TO DO SOMETHING EXTRA GOOD TO
BALANCE IT OUT.
FOR INSTANCE, I HATE HOMOPHOBIA
BUT I LOVE CHICK-FIL-A.
I'M SORRY, I DO, I LOVE
CHICK-FIL-A.
LOOK, GAY PEOPLE CAN MAKE A
COMPARABLE SANDWICH, I'LL BE THE
FIRST IN LINE.
IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE TO BE AS
GOOD, JUST GET CLOSE.
THEY DON'T SEEM TO BE PUTTING
ANY EFFORT IN.
THE GAYS KNOW [ BLEEP ] ALL
ABOUT CHICKEN.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT
HOMOPHOBIA THAT MAKES PEOPLE SO
GOOD AT SIGNING POULTRY.
HA HA!
THEY'VE CRACKED IT.
WHAT IF, WHENEVER I ORDER
CHICK-FIL-A, I ALSO DONATE TO AN
ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS GAY
RIGHTS?
IT BALANCES OUT.
PLUS ANY TIME I EAT THERE, I
BAKE MY GAY NEIGHBORS A WEDDING
CAKE TO MAKE UP FOR IT.
YOU OBVIOUSLY SEE I EAT A LOT OF
CHICK-FIL-A.
OR MAYBE YOU HATE THAT HOBBY
LOBBY'S HEALTH CARE WON'T COVER
MANY FORMS OF CONTRACEPTION ON
RELIGIOUS GROUNDS.
BUT YOU ALSO REALLY, REALLY LOVE
CRAFTS.
WELL.
WHEN YOU SHOP THERE, MAKE A
DONATION TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
THEN WHEN YOU BUY GETTER AND
POSTER BOARD YOU KNOW YOU'VE
PROBABLY PAID FOR AT LEAST ONE
RA ABORTION.
THINK OF IT LIKE A MORALITY
DIET.
YOU TRY TO BALANCE THE GOOD WITH
THE BAD, RIGHT?
YOU FILL YOUR TANK UP WITH BP,
DONATE TO WILDLIFE CONSERVATION.
YOU TAKE AN UBER, DONATE TO
VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT.
SHOP AT URBAN OUTFITTERS, TIE
YOURSELF IN A SACK AND THROW
YOURSELF IN THE OCEAN.
THIS WAY YOU CAN STILL LIVE A
CONVENIENT LIFE AND IN THE END
