investigation into Amazon's internal record keeping on injuries:

this is confirmed with everyone I've ever talked to who used to work for the company, they work you until it physically damages your body, then they let you go for not meeting the quota and shuffle someone else in

Amazon officials declined repeated interview requests. Instead, company spokesperson Ashley Robinson provided a written response to some of Reveal’s questions. Robinson said Amazon’s injury rates are high because it’s aggressive about recording worker injuries and cautious about allowing injured workers to return to work before they’re ready.

“We know that by making a conservative choice to not place an injured associate back into a job, we are elevating restricted and lost time rates as a company, but with the intent to benefit the associate,” Robinson wrote.

It's a pretty big if that actual clean energy is a viable replacement at all. You can't just necessarily replace something like oil that completely revolutionized human civilization.
