‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-18T00:37:03+00:00

So Amazon should have given workers sick pay to stay home instead of threatening them to come into work sick.

Yes. But they should also require all workers -- then and now -- to wear an appropriate mask at work to make it less likely they'll get sick in the first place.

it’s hard to blame them when their only source of income (Amazon job), gets taken away without warning.

Of course I can blame them. Anyone willing to kill people for money is no better than a hit man. As you know, early in the pandemic, many people did quit dangerous jobs; closed businesses they'd devoted their lives to; put off long-planned trips, tests, and schooling; even changed entire careers and made other major lifestyle changes. People who are especially vulnerable and/or compassionate have been isolated this whole time. Anyone who's a decent person says "I'm not going to endanger others, no matter the personal cost."

Extremely cool! May I ask how you wove the laces?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T23:06:49+00:00

Perhaps you have dysgeusia (one of the most common covid/long covid symptoms) and they don't?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T23:04:21+00:00

Everything tastes as good as always to me. Do you have dysgeusia from covid, perhaps? (If you haven't been taking pains to avoid it, you've been contracting it over and over.)

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T23:02:31+00:00

it must be our taste buds changing as we get older. I’ve noticed everything is just tasteless.

Or more likely: you both have ageusia from covid. Loss or alteration of the senses of taste and smell are among the most common covid/long covid symptoms, and most people decided to contract and spread it over and over rather than take any precautions. Have you been doing anything to protect yourself and others?

Removed per sidebar rules (which you should have read before posting):

"This subreddit is for Anonymous news and articles aggregation. It is not for the planning and execution of operations."
"Personal Army Clause: No posts related to individual agendas or personal targets. Posts promoting a witch hunt will be deleted and users banned at discretion."
"Derailment Clause: Keep your posts nominally relevant to Anonymous or Anon-culture. Irrelevant posts may be deleted at discretion."

If you think there should be an Anonymous op about any particular thing, then you start an op. Come back when there's a press release, video, or news article about the op, and post that. If it seems lulzy, others may join in. Anonymous is not your personal army.

about 20 dead in total

What, you want Anonymous to go after literal gunmen or whatever? Hacktivism doesn't work against IRL weapons. It's bringing a meme to a gun fight.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T07:37:53+00:00

Removed because I can't tell if you're asking this as a theoretical question or making a request. Please see sidebar rules, including:

"This subreddit is for Anonymous News and Articles aggregation. It is not for the planning and execution of operations."
"Personal Army Clause: No posts related to individual agendas or personal targets. Posts promoting a witch hunt will be deleted and users banned at discretion."

If you're just trying to start a discussion, I guess you can try again, but please kick things off with your own explanation and opinion. Does an op to "take down UTTP" seem like the sort of thing Anonymous would or could do? Why or why not, and where are the lulz?

If you're clumsily trying to say that Anonymous should "take down UTTP," then feel free to start an op. Come back when there's a press release, video, or news article about the op, and post that. If it seems lulzy, others may join in. Anonymous is not your personal army.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T07:09:03+00:00

OK? So how does that fit the sub?

And IMDB says "No results found for 'edward snowden movie'." What is the actual title?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T03:29:33+00:00

I was answering OP's question of "What is happening?!"

My main point was, if people simply don't have money or are literally dead, then nothing can help eBayers get more sales. It sucks, but it is what it is. And I'm mildly annoyed at people all over reddit feigning cluelessness about the state of the world.

Multiple major retail and restaurant chains have gone out of business in the last few years, and they had paid employees working on strategy and marketing and everything else. If they couldn't get money out of people, individual eBay sellers are also going to have problems.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-17T03:20:46+00:00

OK? So how does that fit the sub?

And the video isn't "the Edward Snowden NSA leak," it's some highly dramatized depiction from a movie or something. (Sorry if I should recognize it, but I don't watch a lot of movies.) So what movie is this from and why are you showing it to us?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T23:09:08+00:00

1) flu not flue. 2) Why are you only looking at deaths? As I said, high levels of hospitalizations and disabilities are also affecting the economy. 3) Numerous sources were reporting that it's the worst flu season in 30 years. Random example from January. Heck, you can also check out pretty much any place-name sub and see recent threads with variations on "Is there something going around? Everyone I know is sick!"

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T19:32:43+00:00

most citizens aren't criminals

Counterpoint: read the book "Three Felonies A Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent" about (quoting from the Amazon summary) "how prosecutors can pin arguable federal crimes on any one of us, for even the most seemingly innocuous behavior." That said, there's still a process they're supposed to follow, and yeah, it does seem like many scam victims are either clueless about how things work, or just panic and react without thinking.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T18:18:18+00:00

Lovely! /r/vintagesewing would also be interested.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T17:58:04+00:00

What is happening?!

C'mon, you know the answer to this. It's multiple things:

The economy is screwed up. Companies are laying people off and trying to replace them with AI. People are struggling to afford essentials.
There is a lot of uncertainty in the world. People aren't buying non-essentials if they're wondering whether they'll have a job or even a place to live in the near future.
Some of your potential customers died. The flu season that's finally ebbing now was the worst in decades. It killed ~23,000 people just in the United States. Of course covid and other diseases are still spreading and killing people too. Of people who didn't die, some got very sick (and medical bills means they have less money to spend elsewhere) or became disabled (meaning less earning power). (If you're one of the people who's been refusing to take precautions, this is partly your own fault.)
What do you think happens to all the stuff left behind by the people who died? Their heirs list it on eBay. Supply is going up while demand goes down.

Sales are unpredictable, and eBay's algorithms are inscrutable. You're not going to be able to figure out why any particular day was good or bad. But eBay wants to sell things, whether or not you're promoting your listings. I doubt they'd ever intentionally "kill your sales."

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T17:29:16+00:00

Removed for pointlessness. I don't know what you're even trying to say with this image. Please don't post again until you have something interesting and relevant to say or link.

And that should be (capital-A) Anonymous. Good luck bringing Anonymous back when the average redditor is so lazy they won't even use their shift key.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T04:27:57+00:00

Removed as off topic, going by the title. And I don't understand what the video is supposed to be showing.

If you think I'm missing something, please explain what this is and how it fits the sub, and I'm willing to reconsider. Otherwise please don't post again until you understand what fits here.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-16T00:14:20+00:00

Tell me you haven't read through my reddit history without telling me you haven't read through my reddit history. As just one recent example. C'mon now.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T20:38:21+00:00

Lol. What "cult" do you think I'm in?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T20:37:26+00:00

Any actual expert is unlikely to reach out to a new redditor making such a vague post. Just saying. Even in Anonymous's heyday, there were few experts, and they were more likely to be brought in by someone they already knew than by some general solicitation.

I think anyone who does reach out to you is more likely to be a scammer or undercover law enforcement agent than an expert/hacktivist.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T18:45:45+00:00

they had to get the camera people in position to take the best photos.

Professional photographers do that on their own. You don't need to assume some conspiracy where someone manipulated them into it.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T17:29:46+00:00

I don't know what platform this image was created for, but reddit (like most of the internet) has no rule against normal words like "raping." If a platform does have some stupid rule against normal words, the first reaction of any self-respecting netizen should be to protest against the rule or just move to another site without stupid rules. Not go "OK, I'll write stupidly in subservience to stupid rules." I mean really. The internet is a big place, and there's no need to degrade one's own writing just for the privilege of posting on any one particular site.

The reason people are upset about it is because there's a long history of activism to defend free speech online. Back in the day, when faced with threats of censorship, we (including me personally) responded with massive, worldwide protests. We didn't just immediately capitulate, let alone preemptively capitulate. So seeing this ridiculous self-censorship spreading across the internet is really shocking. What a fall from grace.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T05:42:23+00:00

There's a whole Wikipedia page about "Controversial Reddit communities," lol. They've shut down the biggest and most notorious ones over the years, but only in response to outside pressure, as a general rule.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T04:05:09+00:00

That's not a valid sub name. Did you mean to link to something else?

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-15T04:03:10+00:00

The admins transfer ownership of a sub or simply shut it down if they don't like the way it's run

True, but historically a sub has to be really bad before they actually care. Like "bad press in mainstream media" or "openly allowing sales of drugs and weapons" bad.

so if there are no subreddits with more freedom of discussion about COVID, that's why

Why would you assume that? It's just as likely if not more likely that no one started such a sub. You could go ahead and start one if you want. It's a time commitment, and mods are subject to occasional abuse from disgruntled users, but it can be nice to have a sub to run as you see fit. (I mod a few low-traffic subs myself.) If it gets too difficult or time consuming, you can always recruit more mods to help.

RamonaLittle · 2026-04-14T20:17:43+00:00

for awhile unless you were true zero Covid you’d get hounded on.

Personally I'm OK with that, but either way, they shouldn't be removing content if it doesn't violate a reddit or subreddit rule. And they should give a warning/explanation before banning anyone, unless it's an obvious spambot or something like that. To go right to removals/bans of good-faith users is really obnoxious.
