POLICE POSING OVER PABLO ESCOBAR'S BODY

These third world countries just piss me off as far as how they treat their workers!

Some workers at Amazon.com’s Allentown, Pennsylvania warehouse are reportedly willing to contend with working at a brutal pace in dizzying heat so long as it means having a job.

Only one out of 20 Allentown-based current or former Amazon employees interviewed by The Morning Call reported that the online retailer was a good place to work. During summer heat waves Amazon had paramedics on standby to treat any employees who couldn’t stand the heat, the paper reported. But many workers pushed through difficult working conditions after seeing what happened to other employees who didn’t meet expectations — they were fired and escorted out of the warehouse.

Some employees worked 11-hour days during the holiday season and others were forced to maintain their productivity levels, even during the summer heat, The Morning Call reported. That might be what it takes to get the giant boost in sales Amazon saw last year.

Seven Secrets Of a Highly Efficient Criminal Organization.

I discovered this gem written by Bill Rempel over at Huffpo the other day right after I read about the good ole USA being a third world country.

Rempel wrote his own book and presents his own critique at Huffpo for:

, "At the Devil's Table: The Untold Story of the Insider Who Brought Down the Cali Cartel."

Bill was discussing the rules that led Pablo Escobar to become the biggest drug dealer of all time!

That is if you do not count the cadre of Pharmaceutical Corporations who own this country!

So it just occurred to me:

WHAT IS THE REAL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CORPORATE STRATEGY OF Pablo Escobar AND AMAZON.COM?

Here are the rules of Mr. Rempel as applied to Amazon.com:

1. MAKE TONS OF MONEY

Okie dokie then. Amazon.com has made lots of bucks. Well....

Amazon.com is the world's largest online retailer, and you can share in their profits! The Amazon Associate Program compensates consumers for referring customers to Amazon.com. As an affiliate, you link your website to Amazon.com and earn a fee for sales you help generate. If you have a website, read on to learn how you can profit from the world's most recognized e-commerce site.

But how much money has Amazon.com actually made over the last decade?

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is a US-based multinational electronic commerce company. Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, it is often called the world's largest online retailer.[3] Amazon has websites and delivery for the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Japan, and China. Launches in Netherlands, Sweden, and India may follow.[4] It also provides international shipping to certain countries for some of its products.

Amazon collects sales tax from just five states. Amazon is under increasing legal and political pressure from state governments, traditional retailers and other groups because of its refusal to collect sales tax in 40 of the 45 states with a statewide sales tax (as of May, 2011). Those 40 states include at least 12 where Amazon has a clear physical presence[109] via distribution centers and wholly owned subsidiaries. Critics of Amazon argue that its refusal to collect sales taxes has given it an unfair advantage over traditional retailers. While customers are required to remit use tax directly to their state, few customers do do so.

How does a company receive this kind of protection and treatment?

Amazon.com lobbies the federal government and state governments on issues such as the enforcement of sales taxes on online sales, transportation safety, privacy and data protection, and intellectual property. According to regulatory filings Amazon.com focuses its lobbying on the US Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Reserve. Amazon.com spent $450,000 on lobbying during the second quarter of 2011, $630,000 in the first quarter of 2011, and $500,000 during the second quarter of 2010.

But How much money does Amazon make a year?

*Amazon.com Inc. announced financial results for its first quarter ended March 31, 2008. Net sales increased 37% to $4.13 billion in the first quarter, compared with $3.02 billion in first quarter 2007. Excluding the $0.18 billion favorable impact from year-over-year changes in foreign exchange rates throughout the quarter, net sales grew 31% compared with first quarter 2007. Net income increased 30% to $143 million in the first quarter, compared with net income of $111 million in first quarter 2008.

It took me half an hourto find this 2008 quarterly report! Every time you google: How much does Amazon make you are referred to sites telling you how much money you can make a year on Amazon!

2. Don't let the rats eat your profits!

Cali godfathers learned from the mistakes of rival drug lord Pablo Escobar who kept his cash in bunkers where rot, rodents and inflation took a big bite. The wiser guys of Cali were devoted to rapid reinvestment. Besides traditional financial instruments like certificates of deposit, they sank their profits into commercial real estate, grocery stores and, of all things, a chain of legitimate drug stores.

After escaping excise taxes and sales taxes and all other duty that must be tendered to the sacred Treasury of our Nation, Amazon does a good job hiding its money.

Well for $210.00 you can find out.

I do not frankly have the faintest idea which tells me; Amazon knows how to hide its shit!

Hell Amazon.com might be involved in legitimate enterprizes just like Pablo Escobar.

3. Win Friends & Influence Government!

Amazon.com lobbies the federal government and state governments on issues such as the enforcement of sales taxes on online sales, transportation safety, privacy and data protection, and intellectual property. According to regulatory filings Amazon.com focuses its lobbying on the US Congress, the Federal Communications Commission, and the Federal Reserve. Amazon.com spent $450,000 on lobbying during the second quarter of 2011, $630,000 in the first quarter of 2011, and $500,000 during the second quarter of 2010.

4. Look Innocent...Drive a Mazda

Well what can Amazon.com do for you?

6. KEEP GOVERNMENT OFF YOUR BACK & IN YOUR POCKET!

7. ALWAYS HAVE A PLAN B

    

The cartel paid police to tip them before drug raids. It paid prosecutors to lose evidence. It paid, threatened or disposed of witnesses to keep them silent. But as a last resort, and to thwart their own capture, the bosses also outfitted most of their homes and hideouts with a caleta - or panic room. It was typically a space no bigger than a small closet and stocked with a jug of water, a jar of peanuts and a small oxygen tank. Cabinetry or other wall coverings disguised access through small doorways that disappeared even to discerning eyes once the door was shut and bolted from inside. Fugitive drug bosses tended to sleep just steps away from instant invisibility.

Just take a look at the sins committed by Amazon.com:

Here is an example of plan b, and c, and d.....

Heat prompted complaints about working conditions at Amazon to federal regulators who monitor workplace safety. The Morning Call obtained documents regarding the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's inspection through the Freedom of Information Act.

On June 2, a warehouse employee contacted OSHA to report the heat index hit 102 degrees in the warehouse and 15 workers collapsed. The employee also complained that workers who had to go home due to heat symptoms received disciplinary points.

"The 102-degree heat index only applied to the first floor and not in regards to the second or third floor … I just believe that it is gross negligence for a company of this capacity to abuse and enslave their workers," the complaint states.

…..
"On June 3, 2011, the Lehigh Valley area experienced unusual, extremely high temperatures which caused the heat index inside our building to reach a temperature above 95 degrees in a few areas of the building," Forney wrote. "As a result of these high temperatures, 15 out of 1,600 employees experienced heat-related symptoms. Six of these employees were treated at a local hospital ER for non-work related medical conditions triggered by the heat. None of those employees was admitted to the hospital; each employee was treated and released the same day. The other employees received water and ice treatment … by our facility's first-aid department. All employees returned to work the same day."

Forney wrote the warehouse had measures in place to manage heat risk prior to OSHA's inspection. Those measures included heat index sensors installed throughout the building in March that notify warehouse managers when the index exceeds 90 degrees, he wrote. Fans are installed throughout the building and louver doors provide ventilation, he wrote.

Amazon purchased 2,000 cooling bandannas, which were given to every employee, and those in the dock/trailer yard received cooling vests, Forney said. Managers walk the building to make sure employees get enough water and to watch for heat-related symptoms, he said.

STAY AWAY FROM AMAZON.COM.

DO NOT BUY SHITE FROM THEM EVER AGAIN!
