Looks like Bezos didn't front up enough money to keep his overexploited workers.

Jeff Bezaos has no physical penis.
It might be projection, but it's isn't astral either
Bozos would absolulety wet himself with the opportunity to own slaves for his warehouses. He can claim too big too fail and just tap into all that free labor in Trumps Alligator Auschwitz.
On the plus side - if there ever was a plus side to anything Trump does - this might drive up wages for the remaining employees, and/or to attract fresh new recruits to fill up the missing roles.
Unlikely. It will still be minimum wage. Amazon (I don’t think) wasn’t paying immigrants cash under the table at half-rate.
I'm not so sure, see. And the reason is: if people who are traditionally willing to accept low wages don't apply for jobs at Amazon fulfillment centers for fear of being kidnapped by ~~the Gestapo~~ICE, then Bezos will have to start attracting people who aren't quite content with minimum wage.
Not to mention, if Bezos' slave wage shops start being known as ICE hunting grounds, even the latter might want to give working there a pass altogether.
Unfortunately people willing to accept minimum wage jobs are frequently willing to accept any minimum wage jobs. They’re living on that next paycheck, they often don’t have the luxury of choice
Looks like Bezos forgot to nominate Trump for a Nobel Prize.
Uh oh, did Bezos forget to invite Trump to the wedding?
Maybe Trump forgot he was invited and blames the Woke Liberal Agenda
Why is everyone saying it's Trump? Isn't Stephen Miller the one pushing for all this?
At the end of the day, it's the Heritage Foundation. They're the ones pulling the strings of all those retarded MAGA puppets.
Oh no! the manufactured crisis might hurt your stock portfolios!
Pissing off Jeff Bezos now? Who's next on the list?
Predicting he'll be able to buy back the workers for slightly more than their original pay but he can work them even harder now!
