As much as I dislike Amazon and their lack of ethics, I can’t really blame them.
At the end of the day, people cannot buy things if they don’t have the expendable money to begin with.
The real sad part is, the crisis is destroying what was left of the high street/small shops.
>Amazon has announced it will shut three UK warehouses, a decision that will affect 1,200 jobs, but open two new major fulfilment centres.
>Amazon hoped they would result in the creation of 2,500 jobs over the next three years.
>The company explained: “We’re always evaluating our network to make sure it fits our business needs and to improve the experience for our employees and customers.
So really, this can be interpreted as moving their buildings around. Arguably not a net loss in jobs.
Not the full picture… The Doncaster mayor has just tweeted saying the Doncaster warehouse that’s closing is being consolidated into the new larger site also in Doncaster. Plus all the staff are being offered roles in the new site.

That’s… surprisingly not as many jobs as I’d have thought were in 3 warehouses…
It’s hitting hard. So sad people are spending less and getting let go everywhere
“These huge corporations shouldn’t have to pay taxes because they bring so much to the economy!”
