Amazon and Walmart are the two companies with the most employees in the entire world as far as I’m aware. It’s a pretty large margin too, as nobody but these two companies employs over 1 million people.

If automation replaced human workers, wouldn’t both of these companies have fewer workers than everybody else instead of more?

I stand corrected—according to Wikipedia, McDonald’s is also on that list. Besides governments, Walmart, McDonald’s, and Amazon have the most employees.

They deliver with drones and some of the warehouses already are replacing sorters with robots Amazon could fully autonomize tomorrow if the govt relaxed fsd requirements and hopefully give ubi or nationalized necessities

Lmao There’s no regulation stopping Amazon from being fully automated. What is this FSD you speak of?
