It's a slightly seedy block, it is what it is your delusional of you deny that. If people who are homeless and smoking crack in the open (Ive seen it many times ) , is it not a seedier block to walk down than say, I don't know, 27th or 28th Street ? Or through the park itself.
Congrats you've never had something happen to you there, neither had i living right by it for many years
You're fixated on that block, when my point was in general of pay attention, and recounted a story that reminded me.
But you just want to have an internet argument over nothing really - hey he said something cancel culture worthy ! WILD!

Which is why I said it's a reminder to keep your head up all the time.. I wasn't at that time and it happened . Wild!
Also, separately on the general message above which is in line with your attempt at a sarcastic comment , that block has a ton of drug addicts that sit on the north side of the park ..

Yes they hired 100k people
And let go of 10k of them
The market changed, interest rates went up in the fastest pace ever
What aren't you understanding , amazon is a company, they do what is best for them
Cost of money get very expensive, the market changed, investors don't want to see divisions that are losing billions of dollars per year continue to be funded
This isn't complicated.
Amazon has a fiduciary responsibility to it's investors (lol, but it's true )
It sucks that this happened, but it's a symptom of the entrenched inflation the fed is trying to fight after blasting out helicopter money for 2 years after a decade of zirp .... It's Infidtry wide. Google, fb (fb still makes a metric shit ton of money), etc etc
Maybe these concepts are over your head. Or maybe you should move to France or one of the other countries where it's nearly impossible to fire someone, but it's also extremely difficult to get a decent salary because once your hired you can't fire them easily.

Yes. Economies shift. The fed raised interest rates
They literally paired back non profitable departments (for example Alexa ) - you can't fund those with debt when it becomes expensive and the marker has turned from favoring growth to profits..
For 12+ years the marker favored growth over all else and there was cheap rates, so you could employ people despite their departments making a loss
This is a stupid argument.
I know you feel bad, and it sucks. But this is a non starter. They over hired , they funded bad investment with cheap debt and they hype of groeth, and the market was okay with those loses. They are not anymore

You can't hire the perfect people - because everyone is going to perform at the level needed, perfect screening perfect employees
You're delusional. This is a non story.
They also spent a shit ton of money in trying to grow businesses that weren't profitable. If you take the stance that they shouldnt take the risk of trying to grow new business in the chance they have to close it, millions and millions of less people would have ever been hired in the first place
There are numerous companies who have automatic pio of the bottom 5% performers every year. Why should they be forced to hold onto the lowest performers ? We don't live in some magic utopia

They hired hundreds of thousands of people on the last two years. It's not insane to lay off 10,000

I was remineded last night to always keep your head up and on a swivel! Walking along 26th st in manhattan north Nomad park (mistake at night, i forgot that stretch is rough).
Guy steps over 2 feet and shove/punches me in the arm before i knew what the heck happened, and kept walking. Didn't think much about.
It just happened so fast, was a reminder to always keep your head on a swivel.

The other big post is about bidens student loan forgiveness, the top comment is the prosecutor took PPP loans.
Except PPP was passed by Congress and student loan forgiveness by executive power
In the end.. everyone is just the same, willing to lie cheat and bend the truth If it serves their cause.. but loud and aggressive if it works against their cause
