CORPORATION: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility. —attributed to Ambrose Bierce (but I tried in the past to source the quote, because if it really is by Bierce then it's public domain due to age, and I can't get farther back than one of those recent volumes of The Devil's Dictionary that attributes all its contents to Ambrose Bierce but adds a bunch of things he inadvertently left out of the original edition)

And Amazon can follow the demands of its customer base without making people like my sister and her husband (who work at one of the Amazon warehouses) walk ten miles a day to pick people's orders. They make such damn much profit they could double their employees in any given warehouse at any given time, make people walk only five miles a day (which is still upwards of reasonability) and alternate picking runs with paid sit-down breaks (because they have run their employees to death before, I saw the article on one of those deaths) and barely notice the jump in their labor expenses.

Make such a framework? Call it a creative exercise, if nothing else.
