I'm frankly sick and tired of the "what about the children" argument especially in this context.

In America violence and weapons are pushed onto "the children" daily. American military make video games to teach warfare tactics to "the children" and desensitize them to gruesome acts of killing. "The children" can bring bullet proof backpacks to school, and learn how to use weapons at a young age.

But god forbid they learn about or see a sex act, which by the way quite literally is what ensures the continuation of the human species. That would be awful.

All of them would have found work elsewhere. Or what's even more likely -- already had work, but Amazon lured them with slightly higher comp.

> Yes, they overhired but also those people hired got experience and a job.

Do you have any idea how much stress and strain this can put on a person, especially if they are the provider for their family?

Please don't make excuses for one of the richest companies in the world abusing their position and treating human beings like expendible machines.
