Drivers urinating in bottles has been reported in the past, but what wasn’t known is that some claim they also get penalized for having those urine-filled bottles in their truck when they return to the warehouse.
…
To avoid penalties, they end up discarding the bottles by the side of the road. Butler searches the roadsides near Amazon warehouses from Coventry to New York to Los Angeles and more often than not strikes liquid gold.
From there, it’s laughably straightforward for Butler to get Release listed for sale on Amazon, with very few checks and balances in place to ensure the product he’s selling is safe and legal. “Releasing the drink was surprisingly easy,” Butler told WIRED. “I thought that the food and drinks licensing would stop me from listing it, so I started it out in this Refillable Pump Dispenser category. Then the algorithm moved it into drinks.”

It would certainly take some work. Like the Army, they rely on a failure elsewhere to provide real jobs and paychecks.
Bring on the guaranteed basic income. Fuck your job.
Amazon Let Its Drivers’ Urine Be Sold as an Energy Drink
…
Isn’t that a plot in Moral Orel?
@UnderpantsWeevil
they need to be shut down
Nationalized and folded into the USPS. Idk about shutting down the biggest commercial retailer in the world.
@UnderpantsWeevil Nationalize is a good idea.

But income isn’t useful if you can’t buy stuff with it. And Amazon is the supply chain network that delivers stuff in exchange for money.
