   yesterday outside Atlas Cafe I saw a dude on an e-bike yell at an Amazon delivery worker for double parking. he stayed and kept yelling til finally she drove around the block feeling threatened. it got me thinking how big companies make big profits by using our streets in illegal, often dangerous ways, but it's their overworked, underpaid employees they treat as disposable who face our anger over it.

     if it's not clear: there is no way this or any Amazon worker could possibly deliver packages fast enough to keep their job while using 100% legal parking and loading spaces. the management doesn't even give them time to pee. this is not something that makes sense to blame on the worker.
