I'm so glad I don't live in France. What a ridiculous place. People need "non-essential" Amazon deliveries and drivers need jobs now more than ever.



Fun fact: The court order doesn't use the word essential even once, it was introduced by Amazon lawyers and PR. The court order was solely about repeated safety violations and Amazons refusal to reduce operations to a safe level. The court order also gave an explicit whitelist of Amazons own categories for the reduction, not a generic "essential" or "food" classification that Amazon would have to interpret itself.

Which is why Amazon quite clearly made the right choice by shutting down the warehouses completely, right?
