Judging by the reaction to Amazon's response, I'm not sure I can connect the dots that make the French government more knowledgeable of Amazon's internal complexities than I am, to be totally honest. That is why I am asserting that giving them a 24-hour deadline to make changes is going to do more harm than good to the citizens of France.

I've spent enough time looking at the data to know that France is well past their peak infection rate (by over a week). The bigger concern in the coming weeks, in my opinion, is timely delivery of goods to those French citizens who need them, and this new mandate goes against that concern.

Do you live in France? Are you an Amazon Employee? A French government employee? A workplace safety professional?


Amazon employees wouldn’t have had any input on a mandate like this. Do any of those other groups necessarily have insight into the organizational complexity at Amazon?

I brought up what I believe is a valid argument that this mandate is harmful to French citizens, and your response has been to attack my credibility with an undertone of disrespect rather than bring a reasoned logic to the discussion. As evidenced by your other comments you obviously have an agenda in this debate, and that is fine. Life has no purpose without some kind of agenda, but please show me the same respect I am showing you.


perhaps you could explain what your stance is

are you French?

why do you think it is harmful to French citizens?

What qualifies you to share this opinion
