What points to him being pessimistic? The ending of both the Plague and the Rebel are filled with optimism (or courage as he would rather phrase it). The Fall was a confusing mixed bag but generally it's mostly been positive.
It really isn't that bad. You can frontload your logic outside inside the script section (or use @const's). The DSL is just a couple of {#if} and {#each}'s.
Is the 2 way data binding implicit? As I understood, you need the "bind:" keyword for 2 way data binding.
I think the idea is that more money and resources should lead to more investments in workplace safety. It's not a very strong idea but it's somewhat persuasive.
I'm guessing just saying "Having unsafe working conditions is unacceptable" would lead to the question "A lot of companies have unsafe working conditions, why investigate just Amazon?"

Thing is, they have made more investments.
It should come as no surprise that trucking is one of the most dangerous jobs in America. All of the shipping companies with available injury data show up equally dangerous. Sanders hasn't revealed anything shocking. It is well understood that driving is just plain dangerous.
We can clearly see heavy investment in things like self-driving technology has been made at Amazon; something which could improve workplace conditions – maybe even eliminate the workplace entirely, removing all possible danger to the ultimate degree. They have invested unsuccessfully, perhaps, but that is the nature of investment. Investment does not guarantee yield. Many (most?) investments will fail.
I'm guessing Sanders thinks the audience believes in magic?
Well, he was a part of the resistance against Nazi occupation. Albeit less on the front lines and more on the journalistic side, but nonetheless. I'd say it's valid enough to give him the opportunity to have an existential crisis.
I'm not sure I agree about the conspiratorial nature of challenges. Challenges have been an artifact of popular social media since challenges started on YouTube, then Vine, and now TikTok. To say that TikTok challenges: (1) occur at a higher/worrying frequency (2) are designed to cause injury and destruction via an army of minors and (3) are "heated" up by TikTok, is a bold claim which at least anecdotally seems ridiculous.
For what it's worth, numbers like 80k per annum are usually sticker price. In my experience, very very few people end up paying that kind of money. Most of my friends were paying about 20-35k instead. Still a lot but not "80k per year".
Good point. The lines between consciousness and knowledge seem blurred too since though we may have certain kinds of knowledge without embodiment (such as 2+2=4), other knowledge such as qualia [1] may be inaccessible to an unembodied agent. The classic example of "Mary knowing everything about the color red before having seen the color red physically. Does she still learn more about the color red when she actually experiences it with her own eyes?"
