Episode 123 - Right Now Is Bad, Actually

Cynic Empowerment

Who knew that in the year 2020 Amazon would be employing the Pinkerton's on warehouses workers in Europe. Furthermore, who knew the Pinkerton's would be incorporated in the country of Sweden, guess the Nordic Model isn't what its all cracked up to be after all. Needless to say these are bad things, and people usually say that it is better to not dwell on bad things, but we here from hilltop of Mount Cynicism think otherwise. Problems can only be solved if they can be identified so on this day we say like Maui from Moana "You're Welcome", you now know of some bad things, now go tell your friends and have them tell their friends and maybe eventually we'll have enough people to do something about it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: Rebates for Overdoses: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/27/business/mckinsey-purdue-oxycontin-opioids.html Pinkerton's Are Back Baby: https://www.vice.com/en/article/5dp3yn/amazon-leaked-reports-expose-spying-warehouse-workers-labor-union-environmental-groups-social-movements?utm_source=pocket-newtab LMPD Punches Man's Face: https://spectrumnews1.com/ky/louisville/news/2020/11/26/man-hit-by-officer-while-filming
