A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

.@democrats.senate.gov Clarify your demands, and shut it down until they are met. And "more training" is not acceptable. If not now, when? You have exactly ONE weapon in this fight. If you don't use it, you have failed us all. You have failed yourselves. You have failed your country.

It’s nonsense like this that led to Taco Bell abandoning the 69/79/99 menu. For shame.
