       | After a couple of times seeing it in different places, I noticed
       | a marking on the black fabric in a specific place - Just a white
       | paintstain. It was the same reaper, repurposed again and again;
       | And then I started noticing that the dude with the protest sign
       | was the same each time, too. Must be a sucky job, carting that
       | thing around. I wonder how many portable installations there are.

       | Sounds like a reasonable statement to me. Imagine if Amazon
       | management dressed up in union garb...

           | in their uniform: they don't represent us. Arguing around the
           | exact definition of "part of us" is a bit silly no?

         | Both the title and well paid engineers casually dismissing the

         | from years of experience with Amazonian 'culture'.
