No one should be worked to death so billionaires, bankers, insurance companies, lawyers, shareholders and government can profit. Those institutions are the real pyramid schemes, not the MLMs, Direct sales, network marketing and party plan businesses.
It feels hypocritical of me to promote my books on Amazon after reading this list but I didn’t know this about them or how badly some of their workers are treated until recently. My son and his girlfriend quit working at an Amazon distribution center when she was made to do heavy repetitive tasks that injured her because she couldn’t see well enough to do the tasks she had been originally hired to perform that wouldn’t have involved heavy lifting.
She told me, “Don’t buy anything that weighs over 10 pounds from Amazon. You have no idea the way it impacts the workers.”
I support small businesses. I am the change that needs to occur to shift the balance of power back to the PEOPLE. I support businesses that are co-operatives (co-ops), employee-owned, etc. and quit supporting anything (or giving to charities) where CEOs were outrageously profiting. ❤️🦋🌀〰️🔥🙏☯️

Being Wholly Vibrant 
I didn’t know about the 10lb + issue at Amazon. That is upsetting 😢 It’s good to try to avoid companies with shady practices as much as possible, that’s for sure. Thank you for sharing this.

Actually, she was lifting 50lb bags of kitty litter, dog food and the like, up over her head and throwing it. It sounded excruciating to me! So, I think people should limit their purchases to 10lbs or so based on that. She’s about 40 years old and so are a lot of Amazon workers.
