Response text from high t alpha shemale @gluetaster: that's not a cargo bike man that's a loopholemobile

Yep I would say you're nailing the "criticize Amazon's treatment of workers" part. That obviously is in severe need of fixing too.

Would you prefer if that got addressed but they stayed purely on combustion engine vehicles? I appreciate the idealism and in a perfect world we'd have both, but actually expecting both outcomes at once is sadly a tall order...

    This isn't a delivery bike. It's for transferring cargo. That could have gone in a train or tram and been 100% electric while also not putting lives at risk.
