The complaint is likely to focus on challenges to Amazon Prime, Amazon rules that the FTC says block lower prices on competing websites, and policies the FTC believes force merchants to use Amazon’s logistics and advertising services, according to some of the people.

Relevant part of the article - they're not going near AWS or the entertainment/filming side of things, just the retail side it looks like.

Even if Amazon loses every part of a lawsuit like this it won't materially affect their bottom line, so the headline seems like clickbait to me.

The fact that handlers can fake a "hit" wherever and whenever they want is the entire point, and also the reason they resist moving over to technical solutions. Those technologies also come with logging, which is another point against them as far as cops are concerned.

It's always been about control and cruelty.

I'm 100% remote and intend to stay that way, but there's definitely a subset of workers for whom in-office is better - either because they don't have the space at home for a dedicated office, they work better in an office environment, they have small kids at home who would interrupt work, and so on.

The problem is really that companies don't seem to want to give people a choice to do what works best for them, their position, or their team. Where it's possible to WFH that should be the default offering.

Honest question - if the Wagner group succeeds and deposes Putin does that allow the UN to boot Russia from permanent member status since it no longer exists?
