And why people are jumping out of buildings, actually and metaphorically, in 996 cultures.


i think Amazon only had one person jump out of a building last year. it's not as common as you might think.


One is too many...

This is the Charlie Kirk argument against gun control, "I'm ok with a small number of gun deaths, it's a small price to pay for freedom". All well and good until you become one of those gun deaths.


I agree with him by the way. But this kind of maximalist thought ending cliche is weird and anti intellectual.

One death of an amazon employee means we should change the whole system? A huge number of people are employed by them, enjoy their lives, became multi millionaires.

Why am I flagged for a fairly normal opinion? A few deaths are okay if the wast majority are satisfied?


You should definitely read "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula Le Guin. It is short too!


"One company only had one suicide via jumping last year" is not a ringing endorsement.
