If this isn't a sign for Amazon workers that their contribution is undervalued even at their current compensation, I don't know what is. For fucks sake, unionize and become millionaires!

Cutting to profitability. A tired and true way to make the books look good.

They offer me "free trials" every few months when i try to purchase something. which i accept and then promptly cancel so I don't forget about it. It's helpful for me since there are some things i need to purchase regularly on there. No throwaway required.

But you know their product is going to go to shit in a few quarters, so be sure to sell high.

Almost all of it is AWS. Which has a what, a 30% margin? Your money at work.
