you gotta assume they’ll eventually hire and fire/lose all the usable talent

I’d like to think that, but Amazon has the benefit (at least in the US) of operating in a country where most people need 2-3 jobs in order to live, so it’s either churn-and-burn or starve.

The thing about an operation as big as Amazon is that one or two people work on one component of one thing. If the folks who work on that one thing both bail, it doesn’t slow down Amazon or any of its constituent components overmuch. The way things are architected it can chug along for quite a while until somebody else is tasked with learning about and maintaining it.

Yeah, it is.

Could even get Trump reelected in a few months. Super bleak.

Odds I’ve been hearing for Trump being re-elected are about 3.4 to 1.
