From the title, it reads like the warehouse worker died at the warehouse. According to the article "company said that the employee who died hadn’t been at the warehouse since April 11". 'providing “inadequate” protections to its workers under state law'...

What is "adequate"? What would be adequate from any company? We are quick to say inadequate, but at what level would we say "sure XYZ company did adequate job at protecting employees"? The answer is never. The only "permitted solution" is complete company shutdown. But, would we stand for that? Would we tolerate Amazon shuttering her doors until this is over? I highly doubt it.

This bothers me not only for Amazon for pretty much any politician's perspective. What is "adequate"?
