A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I think what your argument is boiling down to here is "there is no ethical consumption under capitalism"?
Whilst this is a mindset I tend to agree with myself, I don't think it's a good excuse to not try and improve our consumption practices.
Edit: To add clarity to my original post, all I am trying to do is point out how the convenience of next day delivery forces Amazon workers to experience punishing productivity expectations. And all I ask is for people to reconsider if the convenience of next day delivery is really worth this.
Yes, I also participate in society. But this does not change the fact that next day delivery with Amazon is unethical and I do not think pretending we do not see it because "everything we do is unethical" will help us progress forward as a society and actually make things better.
