Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Amazon Japan has notified its package delivery drivers that it is lowering compensation rates from April 5 and stated it will terminate contracts if employees do not accept the changes.

For many drivers, the rate changes the company notified them of meant a pay cut, and a number of workers have since reached out to Japan's Fair Trade Commission.

Among them is a 33‑year‑old man working as a delivery driver in the Kansai region. The job pays him about 100,000 yen ($628) per month, accounting for roughly half of his monthly earnings.

Boycott amazon. Don't watch prime, dont biy their goods. Don't even pirate their shows.

They are helping destroy democracy, and bankrupting brick and mortar stores.

Do you want amazon to be the only store you can shop at? Imagine the enshitification if that happens.

And to make it happen, all they need to do is pay the right people enough, or gove them something they want, and they'll have everything they ask for approved.

Don't give them power. They are waging war on your rights and freedoms.

If you think its too great a sacrifice for freedom, then even more reason to boycott, because they already have you by the balls.
