Amazon retail will die if unions proliferate among its employees before robots can do all the work. That's precisely why Amazon engages in blatantly illegal tactics to stop unionization -- any penalties they might be assessed are preferable to going out of business.

You are either ignorant of the situation or shilling for Amazon for some reason. Amazon retail's profit margin is just 1 or 2 percent -- and that's a fairly recent development, Amazon retail burned money for many years until the pandemic. That is insufficient to survive, and investors would do better just buying CDs (not the music kind, fyi ).

Bezos does not make his money from retail, and neither does the company.

A multi-billion dollar retail company whose revenues barely cover their expenses -- which is the whole point that you seem unable to grasp.
